Day 117

 

Done. Now back to Nevertheless. 

Day 114, 115, 116

On Monday I finished the last of the machine appliqué on the Nevertheless. 

 

On Tuesday I searched for the right Star block pattern for the 2018 raffle quilt. The kit included the fabrics but you pick your own block. 

 

And after that block searching, tonight I just drafted a typical star block. 

 

Day 113

 

I'm half way done with the zig zag appliqué. 

Day 112

Ironed on with fusible and zigzagging the edges.  

Day 111

 

Day 110

Found this pink to red ombré fabric for the lettering at Sew With Me in Woodbury. 

 

Day 109

 

Turns out I didn't like my fabric choices this morning and decided to stop by a quilt shop tonight; turns out I worked late and Sew with Me closed by the time I left work.  So this is what I'm spending my creative time on. 

Day 108

 

I'm thinking of going with some pinky-reds for the lettering but I didn't get far tonight because I don't want to start cutting until I make sure I like them in daylight. 

Day 105, 106, and 107

On day 105 I finished the text on the quilt, which is definitely a banner. 

Day 106 I decided the layout and today I pick out the fabric.  Should I hand or machine appliqué the letters?  Big time difference between the two but I'll be happy not to be glued to the sewing machine.   Maybe some type of blanket stitch with floss?  Hmmm...

 

Day 104

I probably have only one row left but I'm starting to make mistakes so it's time to stop. 

I see mistakes from previous day's work that I'll have to redo. 

 

Day 103

 

This is what I have left to quilt on Nevertheless. I will complete this by Saturday if not tomorrow; and then I start on the Dingleberries font. 

Day 102

 Two more rows done. I would estimate that I have 7 or 8 more rows to go. 

Day 101

Only more machine quilting on Nevertheless. 

Day 100

Tonight was Cavewomen and it was kids night at Pizza Luce and walking in I got felt up by a kid who pointed to my boobs and asked why I "have those".
