Incremental Progress

In addition to the two quilts-in-progress

on the design studio wall

there are three more in my sewing studio.

Left side - the first few Otsego Revisited blocks

Right side and quilt rack -

Dumpster Diving 9 - Blue Springs Road

partially sewn together

Table top - Heliophilia HRTs paired ready to sew together.

(and yes, that's also the way my brain feels these days;

scattered between too many thoughts, worries, and ideas)

A few days later, the HRTs were sewn and pressed.

105 yellow and gray

44 yellow and green

(I won't need all of them but with a scrappy project

I like to have extras for layout options)

Also on my short list are these two pillowcases.

A very special young man 

will be turning 4 all too soon.

Shifting gears a bit, back in 2013

Cherie (one of my book's SSOBB barn builders)

gave me these scrappy leftovers when

Lynne and I visited her guild in St. Louis.

I was in the midst of making Open Ended

as part of Vicki's Fractured QAL

so I used that technique

along with some of my greens and yellows

and Cherie's scrappy squares

to make this happy scrappy quilt top.

Cherie recently posted about this project's

new forever home - click HERE

to read a feel good story.

The move-out from younger son's apartment

and the renovation of our bonus room 

into his new living quarters are also progressing.

All but a few tiny bits of carpet are gone

and the staples have been removed 

from the OSB flooring boards.

The ceiling is freshly painted

and new lighting has been installed.

Both of the closets have been emptied and painted

with new LED lighting has been added.

The walls are about fifty percent painted.

New wood laminate flooring is on order

and expected by early next week.

Inch by inch we're getting things done.
