In my attempt to finish some long ago started projects around here, I am happy to say that one is checked off of the list. I believe that the blocks were completed several years ago for one of the RSC projects. Then they sat there. After seeing
Teresa finish hers lately, I dug the blocks out, stitched them together, quilted and stitched the binding down yesterday. I am so pleased with it. The finished size is 76x84" so it is a good bed size. The pattern is called
Soul Searching.
It was such fun getting reacquainted with some of the great fabrics. The low volumes included bats, ants, shoes, chickens, bikes, cats and just about everything else one can imagine.
Many of the colored fabrics included scraps from the children's clothing that I have made in the past so there were a lot of good memories as I stitched this one up.
The days of late have been so rainy and dark. Today the sun has finally decided to make an appearance, Just seeing it again boosts my spirits. The persistent rains that we have been having are so beneficial for our years long drought. The hills and fields surrounding us are so green and beautiful. It is quite spectacular with the sun shining and blue skies.
The farmers are having a lot of problems with their flooded fields, but I am certain they must also be appreciative of the moisture from the skies rather than the irrigation.
This, however, was what the view outside my sewing room has been on too many days.
I was ready to grab a raft and float around a bit. There was just too much water for the drains to handle.
We are dry for a couple of days with more rain coming in this weekend. I will enjoy the drying out - even though it is only for a few days.
