Scenes from the Road of Life
Today was the fifth, and last workshop in the Improv That Block Squad on Brave Patch with Sherri Lynn Wood. Today we got to pick the block we wanted to work on. Sherri provided some prompts that we could use (or not).
I choose to continue working on the previous types of blocks we have made, namely the nine-patch, the fan block, and maybe some four-patches and more friendship stars. And I continued making tumbler blocks as a filler.
Here is how I left it after the workshop:
I've been sewing on the Improv That Block quilt and finally sewed the challenging last Fan block into the rest of the quilt. I've not really known how to do it, but once I just started it was not that difficult.
And, then I went on to sew in some other challenging parts. It's coming together.
This morning my walk took me to a nearby P-Patch. It's on 35th SW and SW Barton. It was raining very lightly.
I put labels on the fronts of the drawers. Then I made some draw dividers to hold the spools of threads. I finished those up today. Not every drawer has dividers, mainly because there isn't much thread in those drawers, specifically the 5wt perle cotton and the 3wt perle cotton. I'm storing my boxes of floss in those at the moment.
I got this Jessie Twined Bowl Kit from Flax and Twine a while ago, I've worked on it off and on over the last few weeks.
I finished it today. The instructions called for just burying the cord ends along the side's warp threads. But I decided instead to tie them in knots around the outside. This was a very fun project.
I got this in the mail yesterday and Darrell helped me put it together today. I got some special red roller wheels for it, and he put those on too. I'm going to store my special embroidery threads and stuff in it.
