TUSAL - 3/30/14


Once again I have joined a bunch of other stitchers -

In Daffycat’s TUSAL - HERE -

It's a Totally Useless Stitch-A-Long - ;))

To play the game -

I have to fill my glass container -

With saved thread clippings -

Or ORTS - Old Ratty Threads -

Fabric trimmings -

Stitching cast-offs -


And then -

On (or about) the New Moon -

Take a picture of the ORTS in my jar -

Post it to my blog -

With a link back to her TUSAL post - HERE -

Label the Totally Useless posts with “TUSAL” -

And then visit her blog and comment on her ORT report for that month's TUSAL - ;))


It's EASY -

It's TOTALLY USELESS -

And -

It's FUN!! - ;))

This year I decided NOT to empty my jar each time -

Maybe a year-to-date accumulation of ORTs -

Will make it look like actually DID something - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -

Design Wall Monday - 3/24/14


DESIGN WALL MONDAY -
Check out all of us who link up with Judy L. -
At Patchwork Times on Mondays.
We have some awesome stuff on our walls!
Well, THEY do - ME - not so much sometimes - ;))
===


This is all I have on my design wall today -

And it's not even a block yet - ;))


Don't feel much like working on the Dresden Plates -

Or anything else for that matter - ;))

I have some other strips ready to go -


But that's about it - ;))

Same old - same old - ;))

Same old stuff on the other design walls in the hallway -

Same old Sick Bear in the other room -

Same old around and around with the insurance company -
Still trying to get the prescriptions and copays sorted out -
Same as last year - but with a brand new company -

Same old around and around with the tax preparer -
Still trying to get the tax return "accurate and complete" -
Same as last year - with the same old company -

Same old "First of the Year Ducks" -
Still trying to get them all lined up -
Same as last year - with the same unruly bunch - ;))

I am so looking forward to April -

Maybe fewer "ducks" -

And more "squirrels" - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -

Didn’t get much sewing done this week -

But I worked a little on my Dresden Plates -

And managed to turn a pile of four-sies -


Into some eight-sies - ;))


And when I got a pile of those -


I made some whole-sies - ;))


Now I need to get them all pressed out -

And then I can go from there - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -

So last week I said that I had to find a certain pattern -

That I remembered seeing in one of my magazines - ;))

But first - I found some yummy purples in my stash -


Then I found the pattern in the July/August 2013 issue -
Of McCall’s Quilting - HERE -

Miss Kyra: Bright Floral Dresden Plate
Applique Wall Quilt Pattern
Designed by Erin Russek
Machine Quilted by Karen Dovala

So -

A combination of that and this -


Is what I have in my head - ;))

What do you think? - ;))
