I had planned to post on Thanksgiving Day but cooking and company got in the way! I haven't been sewing too much around the holiday so I tried to make some progress today. I did manage to sew together the first section of the State Fair Sampler Quilt. This section measures approximately 69" X 48.5". It's a bit slow sewing these sections together. There are seams to line up as well as points to try to keep intact! I love the look of this. So far, so good!
I started the last counted cross stitch ornament. This one is for me! It's called Festive Ball and it looks like a round Christmas ornament. I hope to work on it over the weekend. The painters have been here everyday including this morning. I find it difficult to get anything done with work people in the house. I'm trying to go about my own business but it's not easy! I get called away quite often. My family room is done and most of the first floor is finished. We still have a ways to go but the painted rooms look so much nicer. It's definitely worth the discomfort!
Your 1st panel is looking great!! You did a super job with those points!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about crafting while there are workmen in the house--you'll be so glad when it is all freshly painted...
Hugs, Julierose
Thank you, Julierose! It was so nice to have no painting going on all day today. They worked a half day yesterday. I'll be glad when it's done but it's definitely a disruption to my day!
DeleteLoving this first section Rosemary, beautiful colour choices.
