Messing -

 

 

With some scraps - 

 

Before I start messing with the backing -

I got sidetracked today with some "chores" - 

 

So I still need to cut the fabric into widths - 

 

And I think I can lengthen it a bit - 

 

If I insert some strips between the sections - 

 

I should be able to play with it a little tomorrow - ;))

 

 

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew - 

 

 

More desserts -

 

 

Of the puzzle variety - 

 

 

I worked on the "Skittles" jar -

And the bottom left corner - 

 

While my daughter worked on everything else - 

 

I had trouble with my little part - 

 

And she seemed to have no trouble at all - LOL - ;))

The math -

 

 

For the backing -

Has been done - 

 

I have three 2-yard pieces - 

And 6 yards should be plenty for the backing - 

 

I think I can split them into 30" and 12" lengths - 

And arrange them like this - 

To get a backing about 84" x 90" -  

 

The top is 64" x 80" - 

So a backing that is 84" x 90" should be big enough - 

And I should have some ORANGE left over -

If I want/need to make it longer - 

In the meantime - 

Echo has a new squeaky toy - 

She LOVES her little monkey -

 

And we put the "Birds" away again - 

And pulled out another puzzle - 

Delicious Desserts - 

Buffalo Games - 2000 pieces - 

 

We did quite a bit in several different areas - 

 

I worked on the cupcake on the bottom (center) - 

And the "Skittles" jar in the bottom left corner - 

 

My daughter is the whiz-kid who built all of the other parts - 

 

How she "sees" which piece goes where absolutely amazes me - ;))

 

 

 

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew - 

More puzzle -

 

 

More "Birds of Asia" - 

Findley Paper Arts - 2000 pieces -  

 

This one is HARD - 

The pieces are little - 

And the designs/colors show up in a variety of places - 

I'm ready to put it away and pull out another one - 

 

But my daughter isn't ready - yet - 

And I still haven't done the MATH - 

 

That I need for the backing on my quilt top - 

So - I need to play with that tomorrow - ;))

 

Talk to you later - gotta go- gotta sew - 

Back -

 

 

To the backing -

These are all 2-yard pieces -

 

So I don't have to "choose" which one to use - 

 

I'll be using all three fabrics - 

 

I think 6 yards should be enough for the backing - 

 

But now I have to do some MATH - LOL - 

 

On the puzzle front - 

 

We dug out the "Birds of Asia" again - 

Findley Paper Arts - 2000 pieces -  

But we didn't get very far - 

 

Tomorrow is another day - ;))

 

 

 

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew - 

 

A finish -

 

 

Of the puzzle variety - 

 

Ta Dah! - ;))

 

 

 

We finished the last section - 

 

And added it to the rest of them - 

 

Boy, that last section had a LOT of BROWN -

 

But I think it turned out BEAUTIFULLY - 

 

And it was a JOY to put together - ;))

Mine -

 

 

I received this in the mail today - 

 

From my friend - Gene Black - 

 

 

The notebook cover included a notebook -

 And his AWESOME label - 

 

He posted about it HERE - 

 

And I liked it - 

 

So I bought it - 

 

Now - it's mine - LOL - ;))

Include pretty prints in BLACK - YELLOW/GRAY - and ORANGE - 

 

 

But I didn't get a chance to sew anything today - 

 

I did some "chores" - 

 

And we played with a puzzle - 

 

This is one of my favorite puzzles - 

 

I LOVE the colors in it - ;))

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew - 

A little unsewing -

 

 

Was on the agenda today - 

I took out the "oopsie" block - 

 

The last column on the right -  

Third one down -

 

 

 Turned it around - 

 

And stitched it back in -

Now it goes the way it should - 

 

Some things I can fix - LOL - ;))

It's officially a top! - 

 

Ta Dah! - ;))

 

 

 

 

Center - 

 

Bottom left corner - 

 

Bottom right corner - 

 

Top left corner - 

 

Top right corner - 

 

And upside down -

 

The pattern photo has more "homogenous" outer rounds - 

 

So the BLACK makes it look a bit different - 

 

And the "eagle eyes" among you - 

Surely caught my goof - 

 

 

Last column on the right -

Third one down is an "oopsie" - 

 

Oh, well - that just proves that I'm human - LOL - ;))
