Some of the things I'm going to show will be some items that I didn't make but that I helped or taught others to make. I also belong to a craft group that meets once a month and there are a few fun things for that. And others items are just things I thought I'd try.</p><p>Craft Group - it's a group of about 14 ladies from my sisters neighborhood (mostly) and we meet once a month and have a great lunch and then do a fun craft. Here are the crafts I made this year through them. I wasn't able to make it to all of them so there won't be 12 crafts.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRLeWueA4SIE1J6XXY0iZQqtRmf7ZgHklrTBAR-p6vxIrWKTjRe7_CQxnE1MhDfIOPdQv-LmGmqpZjZpRoj9i2Nk4O1B9sAxaaQwOcc_4njKEe2buzo9sgNaQ686RYesViGzSftShPBL7CRYff-1rb62sICCikncaztA6oijFV0IDfJlbmdDcKeRHogN4C/s2048/71139194812__D8466414-85F3-48F2-ABC1-BE6214CDB72F.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

She's never been so cuddly as she has been lately so I would hate to say no to her. </p><p><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOjLHoYUFvzKhSm2v7TWpWF1-4PTAWwFnJSBGIzXikm_c1aVbdEFr8lG0gXU6eOxHQEU8ysAgsV2vCwRAz8nzLxE5XNJjtqPG5ygzIneORcpBNse5KR1kDEUyWtI5v2sI5RYUnDZtXMXnqAciz0ANo2TUrjZHAOPg3wUmdWTpA7p5YpuLMqZRQFw3rexWj/s2048/IMG_9875.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOjLHoYUFvzKhSm2v7TWpWF1-4PTAWwFnJSBGIzXikm_c1aVbdEFr8lG0gXU6eOxHQEU8ysAgsV2vCwRAz8nzLxE5XNJjtqPG5ygzIneORcpBNse5KR1kDEUyWtI5v2sI5RYUnDZtXMXnqAciz0ANo2TUrjZHAOPg3wUmdWTpA7p5YpuLMqZRQFw3rexWj/s320/IMG_9875.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Can't say no to her.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE2kOqBRTM5x-vyixuGMug7U_0-n88xwoeDZEnOTXSJZH_PHw2eJsD2rwfFzLSOmo7_5VM3hVNOMxiPdgIY0tOHGgSLuInltBepf47HJpuSRkdpO__SLhmptfPOsE9stOLdI9UHf0plLLSi2GlGJASwhz1iLaxp_qAkXpLJU4yITOQWER1AX8lqLjH-Hxp/s2048/IMG_0049.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE2kOqBRTM5x-vyixuGMug7U_0-n88xwoeDZEnOTXSJZH_PHw2eJsD2rwfFzLSOmo7_5VM3hVNOMxiPdgIY0tOHGgSLuInltBepf47HJpuSRkdpO__SLhmptfPOsE9stOLdI9UHf0plLLSi2GlGJASwhz1iLaxp_qAkXpLJU4yITOQWER1AX8lqLjH-Hxp/s320/IMG_0049.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Or to him. </td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p><br /></p>Barbara Sindlingerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05864004276255587051noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7538576736427718504.post-40989027414959794242024-02-19T10:15:00.000-08:002024-02-19T10:15:31.440-08:002023 Year in Review - Quilts<p> I can't believe I didn't blog at all in 2023. I'd love to say I'm just too busy but that wouldn't be the truth. I easily could have found the time to update. I will try to do better this year. I'm going to split my updates between quilting and cross stitching and other crafting stuff plus life updates to keep the post from being too long or picture heavy. </p><p>I did quilt some this past year, more than I thought I had. Amazing when you have to go back to look to see how much you actually accomplish. Anyway, here are the quilting projects I finished this past year. (I just show finished stuff. I have a top that is pinned but not quilted yet.)</p><p><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJetm2piGdSe2Zck3voWo-3sxh2XhIvyK8kAvbyTgXytwPs2_gIB5jb_QwLDuGdDwQRRaQ9iHp4wYaWWrJGxJrusYG0H7xy6Q0lg64ribCqekUbo4qBdKbRleeUt1UOlzXgaSwWZacy0Y8vlgJWwsFkrgwwbtfzsKgRWnvlMRPyxRX-j5g90weSe-rcvlY/s2048/IMG_9236.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJetm2piGdSe2Zck3voWo-3sxh2XhIvyK8kAvbyTgXytwPs2_gIB5jb_QwLDuGdDwQRRaQ9iHp4wYaWWrJGxJrusYG0H7xy6Q0lg64ribCqekUbo4qBdKbRleeUt1UOlzXgaSwWZacy0Y8vlgJWwsFkrgwwbtfzsKgRWnvlMRPyxRX-j5g90weSe-rcvlY/s320/IMG_9236.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Moda Blockheads (given away already to Kathleen McGraff)<br /><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP-ktUnqvstzz84nLJknxXFAg0TMYA0FvaiVLV_FvxfndZfsaKfbdVOICf7_WHXNlYxhJOkc1rM52u8gYZO6_OqQ0mCZeSw4ZVTfOcf8OUPKUYL66abecXQl6kANIcsKACgebZe2K0cM35wOVW0zmFJ4a_KbESFZFb0GAbbHI-pN7PsQw1yN-z1zxy4s00/s2048/IMG_9276.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP-ktUnqvstzz84nLJknxXFAg0TMYA0FvaiVLV_FvxfndZfsaKfbdVOICf7_WHXNlYxhJOkc1rM52u8gYZO6_OqQ0mCZeSw4ZVTfOcf8OUPKUYL66abecXQl6kANIcsKACgebZe2K0cM35wOVW0zmFJ4a_KbESFZFb0GAbbHI-pN7PsQw1yN-z1zxy4s00/s320/IMG_9276.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="240" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">A new valentine quilt for my guest room</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP-ktUnqvstzz84nLJknxXFAg0TMYA0FvaiVLV_FvxfndZfsaKfbdVOICf7_WHXNlYxhJOkc1rM52u8gYZO6_OqQ0mCZeSw4ZVTfOcf8OUPKUYL66abecXQl6kANIcsKACgebZe2K0cM35wOVW0zmFJ4a_KbESFZFb0GAbbHI-pN7PsQw1yN-z1zxy4s00/s2048/IMG_9276.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmgIsXoL6AXp59W2kHyZexYkoy-QD4ZV0ttvUb17PhiZZAqW3UqbPPxzp2BqEsDAT_N2kw_W9Oq4WZxVYHki1w4SIyb-_olts01ooIwp_iSb9NVbsSd9598EbrBqKoLF8PAIG_yZMwaAwUFuwJuZPOkyD-GsWc3BM98FxfoMR97ZRcRbaP7ku5uBEYPB9i/s2048/IMG_9289.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmgIsXoL6AXp59W2kHyZexYkoy-QD4ZV0ttvUb17PhiZZAqW3UqbPPxzp2BqEsDAT_N2kw_W9Oq4WZxVYHki1w4SIyb-_olts01ooIwp_iSb9NVbsSd9598EbrBqKoLF8PAIG_yZMwaAwUFuwJuZPOkyD-GsWc3BM98FxfoMR97ZRcRbaP7ku5uBEYPB9i/s320/IMG_9289.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">And pillows for the guest room (machine embroidered designs)</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi85gutqqfZTtfcofUVxUYDp8hcfzI_JKxYQ08a4m3IeSeZI8vKxWyN45jA8BDxgut4uoSraVVjZdxfOFk3rDZBsK1rFMgLiFoM83ZnjjDzKsLSnD2LqUL8YLuhg0znEQR48Dq2LgrUNSX5e6CKMfwhZUWlsEyOVkRQZSCgdammR8nlcrT_-uHcziazjLIH/s2048/69585672653__B9DEDC0E-6516-4C90-AFEA-4DA2D25A4615.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi85gutqqfZTtfcofUVxUYDp8hcfzI_JKxYQ08a4m3IeSeZI8vKxWyN45jA8BDxgut4uoSraVVjZdxfOFk3rDZBsK1rFMgLiFoM83ZnjjDzKsLSnD2LqUL8YLuhg0znEQR48Dq2LgrUNSX5e6CKMfwhZUWlsEyOVkRQZSCgdammR8nlcrT_-uHcziazjLIH/s320/69585672653__B9DEDC0E-6516-4C90-AFEA-4DA2D25A4615.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This top was given to me with a light blue border.

I'm happy to report I had a good year. To make the post less picture heavy I put 9 projects per page and kind of sort of sorted them by type. Quilting, Machine Embroidery and Cross Stitch. I know I missed a couple embroidery projects so I'll post them at the end. I will also do a WIP parade on a separate post, time permitting. Thank you for looking.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgInLk-dRvtTNhJ3_D4bMnWvpq_HJQI29AgsRQJGlOBmj-ThZk1X_qoStNKZ6Bvn7GE86jgDVmgl_cX4st73_doYvjb2e7QT7bqWraIBOIuj7UksRDlH194z2sD_TmvRHzOEr7opU6v9evagA7oy7LEBgmBNuXwkgbu1033--a3oP9ezG7RGf1Fo5QZ8w/s3600/Quilts%201.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

She's planning on moving to Texas. She's coming back in April to dog sit and look actively for a place. <div><br /></div><div>Again, thank you for looking at my blog.

It uses a lot of the heavier woven stripes from the French General Rouenneries collection which I will never use in a quilt again. Too heavy - made the seams and machine quilting a little difficult. I also used French General's Panier de Fleurs fabric. I have had this kitted and stashed for quite a while. </p><p>I also quilted Bats & Boos, the free quilt by Fat Quarter Shop but I didn't take a picture and I already have it stored in my Halloween box. </p><p>And when I left the central valley and my friends threw me a great going away party, they also gave me the fall quilt. My friend Anna K. who put the quilt together and quilted it had some left over 9 patches and gave them to me. I made two little table toppers with them.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj1B6rA9nk_lTl3MTuMtViRmXSKzwAGMjExrcBJaEscEm4phaRC_MxbwQXdeRE7czTeoFZIYdBbgmnIu2bJdRJFit5lG-HRQI_TdX4UZ8Z0EKQC7v1eZVtcmvfUuSMg1K0pE52rDyB9Lj00LiLvqBllppQDZtUyOkEaz1aRINuptjDfYD5NrsLC42VPFA=s2048" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj1B6rA9nk_lTl3MTuMtViRmXSKzwAGMjExrcBJaEscEm4phaRC_MxbwQXdeRE7czTeoFZIYdBbgmnIu2bJdRJFit5lG-HRQI_TdX4UZ8Z0EKQC7v1eZVtcmvfUuSMg1K0pE52rDyB9Lj00LiLvqBllppQDZtUyOkEaz1aRINuptjDfYD5NrsLC42VPFA=s320" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p>They will fit perfectly on my nightstand and will compliment the quilt when it's on the bed this fall</p><p>I also started this quilt.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgPXhDBnNLaKVCXRL4Mnwuy7f3WrQYOufSTZdDAsRtGIUx9H3JvkiuUvhtoEPe5OtJgoOKHiW4eJx6cXKFYnNQwv9CLuPfOIRnSoEoL2L6A_IcCBW0El0Iu9Fy1Wz090lfajYDGZ4MX9YhWve3Vc1Lkm6E2_d5Zf6APinmiJvWaPA7I986Avvx3dZ30ig=s2048" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgPXhDBnNLaKVCXRL4Mnwuy7f3WrQYOufSTZdDAsRtGIUx9H3JvkiuUvhtoEPe5OtJgoOKHiW4eJx6cXKFYnNQwv9CLuPfOIRnSoEoL2L6A_IcCBW0El0Iu9Fy1Wz090lfajYDGZ4MX9YhWve3Vc1Lkm6E2_d5Zf6APinmiJvWaPA7I986Avvx3dZ30ig=s320" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p>There is a big old Santa face that will cover the bottom part.

Once that is done that cabinet in the above picture along with a bunch of Ikea cabinets will go in and I will be unable to load the 100 boxes (at least - yes I have a problem) of fabric and quilting stuff. I haven't hung a lot of pictures because I'm not sure where/ and how I will arrange furniture once it comes. I've ordered a loveseat and two recliners but I won't get those until April or May. My barstools should be coming soon and I have to order the table and chairs. I need a hutch of some type too for the 12 or so boxes of crystal and china. I do love my pottery rack though. I'm in no hurry except to get my quilting room assembled. But I am at the mercy of the flooring company.</div><div><br /></div><div>We are settling in and I love being so close to my sister Brenda.

So finishing things just isn't in the picture I have so much to do to prepare for the packers since I'm not taking a lot of my stuff.

We shall see. I know I won't be able to get my sewing room set up first as I want to get rid of the carpet and add a laminate flooring to match the kitchen. The way construction is now, you can't make these kinds of changes during the construction - they are as is. </div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks for looking.

It was sitting in a plastic box until a few months ago when I thought I better tackle it and get it over before I forget how to do it. It had so many parts and those big triangles are my worst blocks ever to make and the sashing required teeny tiny blocks just like that and I thought there is no way I'll ever do those - so I simplified and just added a plain white sashing with green cornerstones. I still love it. I will use the strips on another project so no fabric was wasted. </span></div><p>I'm currently working on another quilt that I had kitted up for years. It uses French General fabric and the pattern is from the November/December 2009 McCalls Quilting magazine. I love the colors and can't wait for it to be finished. It called for 544 half square triangles which I used the paper method and they are done and sewn in pairs - and am currently sewing the pairs into four patches. And from there --I'm not sure. I haven't looked any further. Just get one part done at a time. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-J4A0nLu7Yr8/YRUt6-Ih3DI/AAAAAAAAHUE/qL8dbgm964ETLLbiPW_kL_JbIhyhp-ObACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/64893854905__6DDDDBED-4483-475C-A93B-78F2552C3A75.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-J4A0nLu7Yr8/YRUt6-Ih3DI/AAAAAAAAHUE/qL8dbgm964ETLLbiPW_kL_JbIhyhp-ObACLcBGAsYHQ/w300-h400/64893854905__6DDDDBED-4483-475C-A93B-78F2552C3A75.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><p>This little piece won me a $50 Hobby Lobby gift card.

My husband passed away May 24, 2021. He died from complications of alcoholism. He was on a ventilator for 17 days and in the hospital for 20. He was brought to the hospital from a Detox Center as he was going to try to sober up. His detoxing brought such heavy seizures that the medical Detox center couldn't control it. After the 16th day of being on a ventilator, and he was not showing any signs of improvement, had pancreatitis, pneumonia, etc., Jeff's dad, his daughter and I decided to not put him through any more so we had the ventilator removed. He only lasted about 5 minutes after. However, earlier that day they did reduce his medications so he was aware and awake enough for each of us to say our goodbyes to him. </p><p>He knew he was dying. I'm finding out from a few of his friends that said he knew something else was wrong but he didn't want to go to the doctor. He had been calling himself Dead Man Walking because Correctional Officers usually only live about 5 years after they retire. He made it 12. The last couple months he had been getting lost in town, falling, urinating on himself, he couldn't remember a lot of things and he'd forget if he took his medications, etc. He wasn't eating (that was the pancreatitis) and he shook so bad that he couldn't read which was his passion. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pG9rXMcsvAU/YN3XW3xxMBI/AAAAAAAAHS8/5V4yQ0vMjEIzXMXh-ufaP1qG0G2CquvSACLcBGAsYHQ/s935/img003%2B%25283%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="935" data-original-width="913" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pG9rXMcsvAU/YN3XW3xxMBI/AAAAAAAAHS8/5V4yQ0vMjEIzXMXh-ufaP1qG0G2CquvSACLcBGAsYHQ/w390-h400/img003%2B%25283%2529.jpg" title="Jeff in his happier years when he 4-wheeled" width="390" /></a></div><p>Our marriage was not perfect and it really was suffering the last couple years. I found out in late 2019 that he had two affairs. I'm not going to go into details but of course that made me distrust him and constantly check on things. Like when I came home from work I would see his car wasn't there so I drove by his girlfriends house to see if he was there. So that kind of life was really wearing me out and I finally made the decision earlier this year to move away from him and California. We weren't going to get divorced, but I just couldn't live like that anymore. It's hard to be with someone you just don't trust anymore and he didn't make it easier. So when he went into rehab, I went to Texas and bought a house. I told him that if he sobers up and wants to really work on our relationship, he knows where I will be. After all the crap he put me through the last year and a half, I still loved him. Maybe I still loved the guy I married 26 years ago - that guy wouldn't do what this guy did. </p><p>However, complications from the rehab set in and when I came home from Texas it was about taking care of Jeff. My goal was to still move to Texas. When he got out of the hospital, he would have to have gone through extensive physical rehab (they say one week of physical rehab for each day on a ventilator) but when he came home I was going to have all my stuff packed and moved to Texas while living with his dad until my house was finished being built. (November) </p><p>But he didn't make it. He was really sick, and my hopes of being with the man I originally married was gone. So now, it's about taking care of all the paperwork. And there is a lot. And once I get his death affairs in order, then I have to start thinking about the move. And selling this house, etc. </p><p>Besides the support of friends and family, my stitching and quilting was my release and I'm so thankful to have such a hobby to help ease the pain. </p><p>I also quit my job. Yesterday was my last day at the prison. It was bittersweet as I will miss all the people I work with (not the inmates although they were always very respectful and nice). I learned a lot and made some great friends along the way. Some I know I meant to be in my life to help me through what I had been going through this last year. </p><p>I do start a new part time, remote job with the property management company I worked for before. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. So wish me luck. </p><p>If you made it this far, thank you for reading. I will end with a picture of at least one of my cross stitch finishes. I think I will try to get this professionally framed. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Yww43T3o4i8/YN3XDODrmYI/AAAAAAAAHS0/Moa8KjncuTULfhYQCMik3C4O3WzT6jQaQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_6965.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Yww43T3o4i8/YN3XDODrmYI/AAAAAAAAHS0/Moa8KjncuTULfhYQCMik3C4O3WzT6jQaQCLcBGAsYHQ/w300-h400/IMG_6965.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Barbara Sindlingerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05864004276255587051noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7538576736427718504.post-88279267313146378922021-03-06T15:06:00.002-08:002021-03-06T15:06:25.532-08:00Finally some quilt finishes<p>I finally finished the Orca Bay quilt.

My sister's mother-in-law moved into an assisted living facility and had to give up a lot of her fabrics which my sister shared with me. She had this lovely Christmas fabric that worked great with these blocks. And she had some floral fabrics that I was able to use for the back. I will donate to the guild's boutique.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oDqTx-Hvmgg/YEQFT-i1AXI/AAAAAAAAHLg/Aqf9agY3m9wBGELmhn2nr7MPNHOqnA9gQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_6686.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oDqTx-Hvmgg/YEQFT-i1AXI/AAAAAAAAHLg/Aqf9agY3m9wBGELmhn2nr7MPNHOqnA9gQCLcBGAsYHQ/w300-h400/IMG_6686.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div><br /></div>Her mother in law also had some baby quilt kits - the fish one she already had pieced and pinned.

I have not been in the mood to quilt. It has been quite a crappy year (since July 2019) and I just lost my mojo. Plus I'm trying to spend more time with my husband and it's hard to do when I'm in my sewing room and he is up front. So that's why I have a lot more cross stitch pieces being worked on. I can do that while watching tv with him. </div><div><br /></div><div>I do have 3 quilts that need to be pinned. The family sized Disney quilt for Kelly and fam, the Orca Bay quilt and a quickie Christmas quilt I made with some blocks of the month I won at guild a couple years ago. But until my foot heals (I had bunion and hammer toe surgery on 12/9/20) I can't get on the floor to pin.</div><div><br /></div><div>Cross stitch update coming in a later post.</div><div><br /></div><div>Until then, thanks for looking </div><div><br /><div><br /><div><br /></div></div></div>Barbara Sindlingerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05864004276255587051noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7538576736427718504.post-17585783713730354352020-11-08T10:00:00.002-08:002020-11-08T10:00:28.475-08:00Feeling like a fraud.<p> My blog name is Pointless Quilter but I haven't been quilting a lot lately. I have been working on Orca Bay for a while now. And while I have most of the inner quilt finished (well by the end of today I hope) I did have 1/2 of it done about two weeks ago.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7tM0sXQjGGg/X6gfgYwc6GI/AAAAAAAAG_s/k7kJK21R5-YVH6rqLUL_6CD3RfAyS3fHgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/Half%2BOrca%2BBay.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7tM0sXQjGGg/X6gfgYwc6GI/AAAAAAAAG_s/k7kJK21R5-YVH6rqLUL_6CD3RfAyS3fHgCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h300/Half%2BOrca%2BBay.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p>All those red triangle units with the black pieced corners kill me. The border is full of them too and if I didn't already have the black pieced parts done for the border, I'd change it. It's a super scrappy quilt and I did pull most of the fabrics from all of my scrap bins (strips and squares) so that is a plus. I know I'll like it when it's finished. </p><p>I also finished this little runner. My older sister last year chose this pattern for her new house for a Fall runner for her kitchen island. And after I had finished the two end applique pieces (machine applique) she decided she wanted a circular or oval runner instead. So this runner will go into our guilds boutique next year, hopefully, depending on this Covid pandemic.

I immediately started collecting Disney fabric. I wanted as many as I could find and my idea is to border all the squares of the Disney fabric with either a red or black polka dot fabric in all sizes of polka dots. The outer border will be a red with white polka dot fabric (large dots) and maybe embroider each of their names on a side and maybe some embroidered Mickey's. That's the dream. Let's see how it ends up. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_L5FBWQLU2k/X6ghoLNiFvI/AAAAAAAAG_4/BtZBa4p0-hIk1SnqIGmyjlYK4c5prlGsACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/62604948459__1C25731C-E0D6-436B-B6C5-82B490DF7ED8.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_L5FBWQLU2k/X6ghoLNiFvI/AAAAAAAAG_4/BtZBa4p0-hIk1SnqIGmyjlYK4c5prlGsACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/62604948459__1C25731C-E0D6-436B-B6C5-82B490DF7ED8.JPG" /></a></div><br /><p>Here's the pile of Disney fabrics and polka dot fabrics.

I sit with my husband each night now to watch tv and I stitch. This is our bonding time and something we lacked the last 10 years so we are each making a point to just be together. He is alone most of the day and especially now since both his vehicles are not working, he really is stuck at home. So because of this, I can get a lot done. I have a Tiny Decision app on my phone and each Saturday I let it choose what I will work on the next week.

We were hauling our little trailer back home (they are getting something bigger since the grandson is getting so big). The first thing that happened on the way home was we stopped at In & Out for lunch and Jeff ended up having a seizure of some sort and blacking out. Thanks to the couple sitting behind us who caught Jeff before he fell over. 911 was called and the ambulance came. They took his stats (he kept saying it was low blood sugar but the EMT said it wasn't) but he was actually partially detoxing from alcohol. And because of that his blood pressure was either too low or too high. (We are still working on getting that settled as he's gone to the Dr since he's been home.) So that put us back for a while and we headed home again with me driving. Mind you I've never driven a truck with a trailer before but I was doing fine until we hit Primm Nevada when I heard a pop and the truck started losing power. We ended up stopping at a truck stop and having the truck towed to Bakersfield Dodge and we waited for Jeff's friend Tom to drive from Visalia to Primm to pick us and the trailer up. In this time Jeff had another episode which scared both me and his dad. It was a 24 hour ride home, with a lot of drama in the truck (long story -not getting into it on this blog). </p><p>The only good thing that has come of this trip is that we both loved Utah and now we want to move there. However we want to live nearer the southern end of the state near Zion and Bryce and up in the cooler areas. So we are actively lookin for homes there and will become more serious after the new year. We need to sell the beach house first (my in-laws house) and their house and ours so it will still take a while. I convinced Jeff that me working for the state for 5 more years is not going to increase my pension/401k funds that much more. Also with this new #46 president, I have a feeling stocks and the markets will go down so we won't be making as much interest, etc. on our 401k's and savings. Plus I turned 60 this past week. I want to start enjoying life. My health is better than it has been in years. I'm slowly still losing weight and walking, walking and walking. If I don't get enough steps in, we now have an Elliptical Machine at home so I can make sure I get enough exercise in. Here's a picture of me this year and a picture of me last year. I was so unhappy (crappy couple years before too) that I ate myself into that. Like I said I have a ways to go but I'm happy with what I've done so far. And yes, I've also become a red head. Why not? :)</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LzKxVM_vF38/X6gqrlN3PEI/AAAAAAAAHCI/JqCM7YOjjZcDvFFTzjc3qnwCoj_090HHgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/RenderedImage%252811%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1551" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LzKxVM_vF38/X6gqrlN3PEI/AAAAAAAAHCI/JqCM7YOjjZcDvFFTzjc3qnwCoj_090HHgCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/RenderedImage%252811%2529.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Cjmc3KC--ls/X6gs6dq5XwI/AAAAAAAAHCU/txBqfsIxE58QTEBwme8d6gjwzMW5FVuwACLcBGAsYHQ/s1280/fat%2Bme.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="720" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Cjmc3KC--ls/X6gs6dq5XwI/AAAAAAAAHCU/txBqfsIxE58QTEBwme8d6gjwzMW5FVuwACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/fat%2Bme.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p>We are still in the process of closing my dads estate. My brother is doing an excellent job and we hope to have it all settled by the end of this year. Then we have to figure out what to do with both my mom and dad's ashes. Right now they are at my brothers. </p><p>Work is great. I love my boss and we have a new principal whom I really like as well. (I liked the last one too.) It's an interesting time to be working at a prison--I still am following my protocol of washing everything once I get home before I touch anything. The staff gets tested every week now and so far I've been 'not detected'. I am very diligent about wearing my mask at work and when I go to the store but it's also mandated in California and we can get fired if we are caught without a mask at work. So there is that. </p><p>If you made it this far in my post, thank you.

I will work on the handwork piece for one week and then choose again. Luckily this was the first one it chose and all I really had to do was paint the fabric and add the beads.

I think we honored him and he would have liked it. I was surprised at how many people came. And we had it live streamed and the church said 75 people watched it. Because of Covid and health issues with other family members, a lot of people that normally would have come, couldn't like my dads only living sibling (of 11 kids). Our family friend Lori spoke (she spoke at my mom's service too) and made us all cry. Then my oldest nephew Kurt represented all the grandkids and had a great and funny talk about all the tales and jokes my dad did with them. He was a great grandpa for sure. They all have such wonderful memories of him. We left the house with all the stuff we wanted and will now have an estate sale to get rid of the rest of furniture. They (estate sale companies) take a pretty good cut of the sales but they take everything out when they leave. Then we will put the house on the market. We hope it will sell quickly and it should. It needs to be updated a bit, but other than than, it's in great shape. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">My brother is the executor and we had to hire an attorney to help us with all the paperwork and legal stuff and now we have to hire an accountant to do my dad's personal taxes for this year and the trust account taxes.

I haven't quilted a lot lately. I haven't finished a lot lately. I'll discuss why in a second. <br />
<br />
My younger sister Beverly asked me to make a quilt for a friends' daughter graduation gift. I gave her some pattern suggestions and she chose a free pattern<a href="https://confessionsofafabricaddict.blogspot.com/2017/02/stunning-stars-4-supernova.html" target="_blank"> (Supernova)</a> The colors she wanted were beach colors. So I pulled solids from my scrap and asked what color background. She didn't want white and we decided on a sand color. Then I purchased more solids and the sand and she didn't like the sand so we decided on a yellowish cream (not pictured)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So this is the completed quilt. However before she told me she didn't like the sand background I had already cut and marked them so I decided to make another quilt using the just the blues and green solids with the sand. Figured I could sell at our guilds boutique. </div>

After seeing this, my sister decided she liked them both. I made a label for her and she can choose which one she will give as a grad gift and she said the other one she will give as a gift to someone else. Super easy quilt to make and quilt. I just did straight line quilting. </div>

Now on to life news. As you know from my previous posts, last July my dad fell and broke his femur bone. He survived all that surgery and rehab stuff and was home and doing pretty good. We had 24 hour care for him and was doing okay. Then a few months ago, his hip replacement popped out of its socket and he had to be hospitalized for a day again. After that, he never was the same again. I think he was afraid it would pop out again or that he would fall and stopped exercising and pretty much gave up. They also think he had had several minor TIA's as his memory got worse too and lately he had been getting pretty ugly and mean and very agitated at night. He would try to get out of bed and fall out or crawl around and end up tearing all the bedding off the bed, taking his briefs off and making a mess. Almost daily texts from the in-home ladies about his behaviour. They only knew the sweet guy so it was a shock to them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
About 2 weeks ago, he had a major TIA and lost all ability to speak and swallow. Hospice had already been contracted about a week or so before all this. But at this point they put him on morphine and some anti-anxiety meds for comfort care. Five days later, my father died holding my older sisters hand. She flew in a few days before after we facetimed with the in-home care lady and saw how bad my dad was. My little sister and I were coming back on Thursday. We had both just been there 2 weeks before and I was also there the weekend before he died. So we all got to say goodbye. My brother was on vacation but he called and told my dad he loved him and said he wished he could go fishing with him one more time. We know my dad heard him because a tear came out of his eye. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
He will be missed. His services will be held on August 1st. We will put my mom and his ashes together and find a beautiful place to spread their ashes. We are glad they are finally together again. My dad missed my mom every day. It was sweet to see. </div>
<br />
I've been keeping myself busy with stitching and some sewing. I have to make 4 pillows for a consignment job. I got one pillow top done today. But really have just been sitting up front in the evening with my husband and we've been talking about stuff - life, death and work. His dad is 90 so this is hitting him hard Him mom passed away over a year ago.<br />
<br />
My health is still a little off. I am currently off the diabetes meds to see if that is why I've been bruising so easily and also my kidney numbers were abnormal. (A side effect of Metformin.) My corodid artery scan also showed some build up so am on new meds to stop that. I'm continuing to exercise and diet. I need to lose another 25 lbs. It's getting harder to lose. But I know I can do it. <br />
<br />
Anyhow, thanks for looking. <br />

Sorry about that. Life does seem to get in the way of doing things that need to be done. <br />
<br />
I did have a quilt finish. I finally finished the Bonnie Hunter (<a href="https://quiltville.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Quiltville</a>) 2019/2020 Mystery quilt. I didn't do a lot of fancy quilting. It was so busy that it wouldn't have shown anyway and I'm getting to the point that getting it done is better than letting it sit there. I did do some fall leaf design in the border though. <br />

It turned out less mottled than I thought it would be since there wasn't a whole lot of value change in the red and orange, but I like it still. It will make a great bed quilt in the fall which is exactly what I wanted. <br />
<br />
My younger sister has consigned me to make a quilt for a friend's daughter for her high school graduation. It took a while to get the fabrics I needed and now I have 108 6.5" HST with a creamy yellow background and some beach color solid fabrics. These are the times I really wish I had a design wall as the <a href="https://confessionsofafabricaddict.blogspot.com/2017/02/stunning-stars-4-supernova.html" target="_blank">SuperNova pattern (a freebie) </a>really needs to be designed before sewing the HST's together. <br />
<br />
I just haven't been inspired to quilt these days. I hope that mojo comes back. I have also been consigned to make 4 pillows (not reading pillows - these are for adults - embroidered and quilted.) I like the projects I'm working on, I just have been finding other things to do with my time. <br />
<br />
I participated this year in the cross stitch Stitch Maynia - which is you chose as many new projects you want to start in May. I decided to start working on my Christmas ornaments. I gave myself three days for each ornament and I got all but one done (it's a 1 over 1 situation). I also am making two pin cushions for friends and they took a little longer than three days but I figured they would. I'd show you pictures, but my siblings and friends might read my blog. <br />
<br />
However I did finally finish stitching this 4th of July piece. It's called Liberty Lane by Country Cottage Needleworks. Not sure how I want to fully finish it. I have several frames I might paint if it fits. We'll see. <br />

I'm currently working on my Spring cross stitch. I think I'll work on it until it's done instead of working on several at a time. I need to focus. <br />
<br />
As for work, I'm still teleworking 3 days a week and going to the prison 2 days a week. I still love my job and I really like the people I work with. Yesterday I finally had a hair appointment and a dentist appointment and in between those two appointments, I got to visit with my old boss Greg. It was great to see him and he also warned me not to go to the mall--it would only break my heart how bad it looks. Apparently the fountain is green, weeds everywhere and the grass is dying. I know some of the problem is the Covid but I have a feeling a lot of it has to do with the management and the ownership. So glad I am not working there anymore. Another sure sign that God was really looking out for me when I thought it was a bad thing or punishment. ALWAYS TRUST GOD TO DO WHAT'S BEST FOR YOU!!!<br />
<br />
Thanks for looking! Stay safe out there.<br />

Could be where I'm getting comfort from whilst stuck at home (except on Tuesdays and Thursdays when I have to go to work--teleworking on Mon-Wed-Fri). <br />
<br />
But I did finish my Summer Swoon quilt. This fabric was bought several years ago during a late night Party Party Party that the now closed local quilt shop had. <br />

Pretty subtle summer colors but it has lemons and ginghams and a little brighter in real life It will be perfect for my summer bed spread. <br />
<br />
With the Material Girls challenge my next project to work on is Frolic, the Bonnie Hunter mystery. All the parts are together, and the full blocks are done. Just need to piece the side and corner pieces and put it all together. Just! Ha! It's a Bonnie Hunter quilt - thousands of pieces. I'm not thrilled with my color choices - it sounded so pretty in my head but just not enough contrast in real life. But it will be perfect for my bed in the fall Pictures to come in the next month or so<br />
<br />
As far as other stitching, I did get a little bit on the face mask bandwagon. I made one for myself and then a workmate of mine from Sierra Vista Mall asked if I would make one for each of her family members which I was happy to do. I also made one for my boss as we do have to interview inmates and since where I work is a petri dish of germs, it makes sense that we protect ourselves as best as we can. Now the principal wants one and I luckily have two extras cut out and ready to go so I will do that for him and his girlfriend who is going through chemo so she should have a pretty mask to wear. Here's a picture of mine. I use two different fabrics and I put a woven stabilizer in the inside and a piece of twist tie for the nose area.<br />

I also have two charity quilts to machine quilt. One is almost done and the other needs to be pinned, quilted and bound<br />

<br />
This is where I am getting in trouble with haul. I have over 150 charts now and I can't stop myself. They are always coming out with all these beautiful patterns and I just need to have them. Now I need the time. (Yes, I know I am home more now but you will see below what has been keeping me busy these last few weeks.) Anyway I only have one fully finished project.<br />

I'm also working on a Prairie Schooler Autumn town scene. I'm a bit over 1/4 done with that. I try to work a couple days in a row on a project. Because I like to see some progress and only working an hour or so a day just doesn't show enough progress to make me happy. </div>

This last picture is my bag for Stitch Maynia. I have never participated before but thought it would be a perfect time for me to start my Christmas ornaments for my family. I made a list of all the threads I'll need for all of the ornaments. So far I've been able to convert all to DMC floss. I also dyed two fabrics for the projects. (see pics below). One turned out pretty green and the other I just dyed using brown Rit Dye and then baked for some mottling. I've scaled back on the projects I wanted to work on from my list I made in January. Keeping it mostly to family gift ornaments and not any for me or other holidays. I want to get them done.<br />

I gel stained and chalk painted my dining room furniture. The only thing I still have to do is reupholster the chair cushions but I need to go shopping for the fabric for that. I plan to use a dark brown fabric to match the table top. Now picture all this furniture in oak wood - purchased over 25 years ago. Long overdue for an update. The chairs and table legs and inside of hutch were chalk painted with Annie Sloans cream and I did age a bit with brown wax. The rest was gel stained with a Hickory colored stain. I think it turned out great but it was a lot of work. I was able to clear out and donate more stuff once I had to put all my hutch stuff back. A week ago the dining room had about 30 boxes of stuff along each side and the table and hutch shoved around while I painted/stained. It was a mess and a trip hazard Here's a close up of my tiered tray. You also get a better sense of the stain on the table. Oh and I know I need candles for my thrift shop candle sticks but the stores are closed that would sell them. (Non-essential stuff you know,)</div>

There are still a lot of projects that need to get done around the house. My husband and I were going to tackle some weeds out front today at least enough to make it look better but he will need to spray once the sun comes out. Poor guy sprayed the pasture and then it rained so none of the weed killer worked. We live on an acre lot so that was a lot of work. </div>

I have only lost another two pounds since the last post but that's better than gaining. All my Dr. and Dentist appointments were cancelled as expected so I have no idea how my blood sugar levels are but I'm assuming much better since I have been eating so much better. Lots of veggies and protein. No flour, rice, potatoes, etc. I will have whole wheat toast or bread occasionally, but that's about it. No chocolate or candy. </div>

It's been a rocky road around here. First I was going to get a divorce and move out but now I'm not getting a divorce and I'm staying. I'm still unpacking boxes. Long story - 25 years was too long a time to be married without a fight and we both realized we still loved each other so we are working on it. So far so good. I have my moments but I try to talk them out and work them out. We are talking a lot and laughing together and doing things we haven't done in almost 10 years. It's like we're dating again. Fun. But on to stitchy news. <br />

<br />
I haven't been doing a lot of sewing. Last July before my dad fell and all that drama I stayed with him for 2 weeks and after he went to bed each night I cut kits out. This was one of the Fig Tree Little Box of Figs projects. <br />

I did get almost done with the final Bonnie Hunter mystery clues. And I started a Swoon quilt - another one I had cut out last year but haven't pieced it together. I remembered I made some cutting errors and have to piece some of the squares so I put it off but really want to get it done soon. So far one 3 completed blocks and 3 with most of the pieces together. (total 16 blocks though).<br />
<br />
I also made 4 reading pillows for my sister-in-laws sister-in-law.<br />

She paid me for the 3 kids covers but she is a bee keeper and I couldn't resist making one for her in exchange for some honey. I thought it was a great deal.<br />

<br />
So that's my life. I am spending more time with the husband which makes less time for the stitching. <br />
<br />
Work is great. They made me a permanent employee after 4 months and I am now the office tech for the Academic Vice Principal of Special Programs. We make sure that reasonable accommodations are being met for any ADA inmates at the prison. It's so different than what I did before, I like the people I work with and the prison has actually become my gym. I walk everywhere. Along with my new diabetic diet and all the walking I am down 24 lbs. Feeling great. Still more weight to lose but I will just keep walking. Which isn't hard at the prison. It's the biggest one in the state of California. <br />

You list 10 items on your WIPs list and assign a month to it. Your goal is to at least work on that quilt during that month. You don't have to finish the quilt - just make some progress. We also have a second challenge to use a ruler, template or tool that you bought and have never used and to include text somehow. <br />
<br />
Here is my quilt list for 2020. a<br />
<br />
1. Finish the 9 pillow sleeves I started 2 years ago. (February)<br />
2. Orca Bay (Started about 3 or 4 years ago) (May)<br />

I had 13 items on my 2019 Goals list and I was able to finish 8 of them. (Orange Jamestown Landing, Good Fortune BH Mystery) Black/Tan Idol quilt, Guild mystery, Moda Blockhead, Consignment Blue quilt, Trick or Treat, Material Girl Challenge-curved leaves) <br />
<br />
Cross Stitching has been added to my hobby list which was a blessing to have since I spent a lot of time sitting in a hospital and rehab with my dad. So without any further ado...<br />
<br />

Tomorrow I'll work on my goals for 2020. Since my friendship group is having a list of WIPS to work on it shouldn't take me that long for the quilts. I also have kitted up about 13 new cross stitch patterns so I'll share those too. <br />

<br />
My friendship group, Material Girls, has an annual challenge. This year it was we had to piece curves. When we chose the challenge I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I posted mine a couple posts ago, but just in case you missed it, here is my quilt.<br />

We don't have to have it finished. We don't even have to do it. It's just something most of us like to do. <br />
<br />
This next year our challenge is to use a ruler or technique we haven't used (you know - we all buy those things and never use them.) We also have to incorporate text of some sort on the piece - either using fabric with words on it or applique, embroider, etc.<br />
<br />
And since we all have a lot of WIPs (Works in Progress) we each have to submit a list of at least 10 WIPS we have that we want to work on next year. We pick a month we want to work on it. On the form we have listed what we have done so far. And at the end of each month we put where we ended with that piece. You don't have to finish it, just need to work on it. <br />
<br />
Here's the group that was at the party this year.<br />

And a few posts ago I showed you my new morning view. It was the beautiful sunset. Well here's my view on my way home. It's been cool and clear so you can actually see the Sierra Mountains. It's beautiful. (Picture doesn't do it justice - I was driving when I took it.)</div>

Next year it's going to be a little crazy. I will be moving out of my house and will be looking for something smaller. I will also be going through a divorce after 26 years of marriage. Long story, I was going to leave 2 years ago for many reasons I won't go into here, but he talked me into staying and working on our relationship, Well let's just say, he has an odd way of working it out. So I may not get a lot of quilting done for the first few months, but for my sanity sake I will have to do some. I have a lot of family support and friends supporting me. I will not let him steal my joy. My first husband cheated on me and it took me years to get over it. I will not waste that time this late in my life.<br />
<br />

It's been kind of slow month. My machine (Bernina 750) has been in the shop for the past two weeks so not a whole lot of quilting going on. But I did finish a cross stitch piece. It's a Prairie Schooler Santa. See photo above. This is the one with the Sewing Machine. I also have the pattern with a quilt and that will be the next one I work on. They are pretty easy patterns and they use mostly the same DMC colors so they all coordinate. They have an annual Santa. The one with the sheep is from this year and the sewing machine one is from a previous year.<br />

As far as the Bonnie Hunter 2019/2020 mystery Frolic goes, I was caught up until yesterday. Now that my machine will be back (today) I can work on yesterday's clues. I don't have pictures of my finished Clue 1 & 2 but here are pictures of the pieces I needed to make those clues. I'm trying to do mine in Fall colors. It will be dark (not a lot of contrast) but I'm okay with it. I wanted to use the metallic fabrics because that's what I like.<br />

Hurley our new little puppy is thriving and growing. He's a very lovable little guy - still likes to eat paper and bringing in small twigs that he's chewing and he will nip at your hands and arms. I'm working hard with him to break this habit. But since I'm gone all day and my hubby doesn't seem to care, it's going to take a little longer. He has been better at the potty -by that I mean he hasn't had an accident all week in the house. :)<br />

With my new job I actually am starting at the same time I used to leave for my old job. Who knew sunrises were so pretty. I'm a night owl so this has been quite the adjustment for me. <br />
<br />
And as promised, some quilt finishes.<br />

Trick or Treat was a block of the month, pre-cut with the fusible already on it from Shabby Fabrics. I did zig zag with coordinating threads around all the pieces and then quilted it. Some of it glows in the dark. I love this and can't wait to hang it next year.<br />

And this is my Material Girls (my friendship group) annual challenge quilt. We were challenged to piece curves. I love fall so when I saw this in Sew Kind of Wonderful's mini book, I knew I had to make it. I had a bunch of fall color solids and wanted a light blue background and it's another of my fall favorites. <br />

My cousin Barbara, who was very instrumental in helping me get home health care for my dad, has a set of twin great grandchildren. So to thank her I made these for the twins for her to give to them for Christmas. <br />
<br />
Not a lot of Cross Stitch finishes. I'm actually working on 6 other projects at the same time. A little each day while watching PD Live or now Hallmark Christmas movies. <br />

I spent Thanksgiving and the day after at my dads and got him all situated and then ran home for two days to decorate my own house (and clean, etc.) I usually have all these cross stitches hanging in my husbands den area but realized I couldn't enjoy them there so I moved them to my sewing room. These are all cards my mom made for us kids each year for many years. She also stitched the big one in the middle for me. These are treasures to me and I smile each time I look at them.<br />

2019 has been a pretty crappy year. I'm looking forward to making some big changes in 2020. Stay tuned and thanks for looking.Barbara Sindlingerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05864004276255587051noreply@blogger.com1
