Tag: Stitch Project: Table Series

Scrap happy

I had so so many bits and pieces of cloth leftover from the Albers triads and painting log cabins … so I’ve been piecing pairs, then combining them into strips, and stitching the strips into blocks …

Most of the patches are whipped together with two strands of black DMC floss, for unity …

The blocks ended up being around 8” or so … but I’m not measuring at this point. Eventually they’ll be pieced together into 54” strips and added to the table cloth.

In other news, a wren family has moved into the bird house that Don and the kiddos made …

And Don’s garden is thriving in our above-average spring rainfall …

Simple pleasures

Like joining the crowd when it comes to sharing views of Deb’s threads …

And finding that one-in-a-hundred Instagram reel that triggers an “I’ve gotta try that” response … this video made in reaction to the question “do you know the right way to use a bubble wand?” …

And for those who can’t see the video, dip the wand in the bubble juice, lift it halfway up and blow … repeat endlessly (or until you hyperventilate as I did) …

Not to mention the pleasure of adding a leaf to the dining room table in celebration of completing one end of the table cloth …

only to discover that the base cloth isn’t quite as long as I thought …

But hey, that just means I get to work on it a little bit longer than expected … which is all good, right?
