Journal Notes

07/10/2026 - Got to work on my quilt some today, almost have the quilting finished, should be done tomorrow. 07/08/2026 - Couldn’t work on it for a few days due the the extreme heat, I couldn’t run the iron, it heats up my small sewing room too much. I have the quilt top finished and the backing ready to go. 2 bobbins wound and a new needle in the machine. Tomorrow I’ll get out the bolt of cotton and cut the batting. 07/03/2026 - So I threw a wrench in my own plans. I think that I need another row, it’s not quite big enough So today I’m making some more blocks to add to the width of the quilt. 07/02/2026 - I went out yesterday and found a very soft pink/rose color for the back and trim. The quilt top is finished, I’ll add a pic tomorrow, I need to iron out the seams and then I’m ready to sandwich! 06/30/2026 - I have the rows assembled, but I still have to press the seams. I’m hoping to get the rows sewn together in the next day or two. 06/29/2026 - Finished squaring up the blocks and laid them out. I started sewing the rows today too. 06/28/2026 - Haven’t gotten much done over the last few days, I threw my back out and was laid up for a bit. I’m about 3/4 done trimming the blocks and thought I’d play with the layout, what do you do when you don’t like what you’re making? Hmmm 06/24/2026 - Took a break today from cutting blocks to make a new dress for my tiny dog, I ended up making some scrap fabric, I tried 06/23/2026 - I have a bunch of blocks made, not sure if it’s enough. I’m going to square up the blocks I have made and then start the pattern and see where I land, lol. 06/22/2026 - I’m making this one for my wheelchair to keep my legs warm.
