Scenes from the Road of Life
I know nothing about basketweaving. I bought a kit with instructions from Flax & Twine. I opened the box today and reading the instructions cut some cords for the warp and wrapped the ends with tape. Then cut a very long piece for the weft. And started the weaving.
I actually enjoyed it, but had to quit for the day.
I got the instructions for month five of the SeaMQGBOM2026 last night.
I cut the parts and pieces out and sewed them together to make four more 'blocks'.
I quilted, trimmed, made binding and sewed it onto the Babe in the Woods quilt. It measures 35" by 36". The top is all flannel.
Its done! This is finish number nine for the year!
I had all of my Stitch Book 2026 pages sewn into groups of four and they needed to be stitched together. I thought I would do something like a Coptic stitch. But, that didn't work out. So, I just used a basic Pamphlet stitch and I added some beads between each page to space the pages.
Since we moved into this house the upper part of the pantry has been a mess. I had put all of the containers which held various flours I used for making bread up there and have ignored them since.
I don't make bread anymore since we both went gluten-free. So most everything was expired and just taking up space.
I took it all out of the pantry and tossed the expired stuff, which had been stored in Tupperware. I don't like the idea of storing things in plastic anymore, so it all has to go. I washed all of it and will donate it to Goodwill or somewhere.
There was some things stored in glass jars, my preferred method of storage. I emptied those and washed them out too.
I got the 24 100 Day Stitch Book pages sewn together in groups of four. They are ready to stitch together.
I got back to work on my block for the BP Sewcial Collab 2026 today and finished it.
First I made the next two letters and sewed them to the others and squared it to 18".
I did the final stitching on the last two pages of my Stitch Book 2026 today.
The pages are now ready to sew together.
