Welcome to a week of stitching & living! FABRIC/CRAFTING SALE INCLUDED!

 It is mid Joyful July!  Hard to believe it is already mid year wherever you live!

Here is a pic of my grand enjoying a drive in her kid friendly side by side thing with your pet turtle... no worries ... mom and dad supervise and she hand washes exceptionally well they say to avoid any salmonella or anything else until they have been transitioned to indoor turtles... they are doing research on turtles and caring for turtles... it is quite interesting from all my son shared with me!
Here is a pic I made up last night... I will have this printed and frame it and gift it to mom and dad sooner than later for them to enjoy!
Here is a pic I found.... it is quite profound... I guess I only show your the clean parts of our moving mess... we are now outta boxes and crates in the house COMPLETELY though now! lol
This is a Pinterest photo...
Here is the final version of that quilt bound and ready to gift from my close friend Denise :)
Here is a second version she cooked up next and will quilt and bind soon ... I plan to make one since she makes it look like no time consumption ... but it does take finesse to get these colors and positions just right...PLUS her mad sewing skills make these easy for her where all these little parts may be a challenge for others!  If you are interested in one like this but in your fave colors or one of these specific ones????  Leave a message on my blog ending comments section... I can hook you up with each other :)
Here is an awesomely fun and easy quilt I would LOVE to make.... after the curtains, new wallet, secret project and the granny square hand quilting finished and delivered.. whew... but in my off time I wanna start making these 9 patches... it is important for this setting to work I THINK... that your nine patches are the same in that they are scrappy or not all together and the light or the dark is prominent in the criss cross blocks... here they used mainly lights to be their criss cross... I like that ... then depending on the sice you make them cut your squares the same unfinished size as your nine patches.... andd flippy corners and  you have a snowball block from your leftovers of you fabrics pulled for the 9 patches... best kept this project in a small crate to hold your different fabrics.... then put a border on it and call it ready to layer and hand quilt!  Do you find quilts like this??? Simple and easy and need to make???




Don't y'all love this meme... this kid comes in sure his mom can fix his baseball right away! lol :)
I wish I had those kinda skills... do you?
As mentioned earlier... my room is clean except for these piles waiting to be claimed...  Are you interested in 1 of the 4 options?  They are $30 shipping included IN THE USA ONLY with secure Paypal invoicing you can pay with confidence your security of your payment method is safe... from me or anyone.  Also you have insurance you will get what you purchase... AND you don't have to have Paypal just a credit or debit card :)  Let me know if you wanna claim one ... first to claim means it is then unavailable as I only have 1 of each :)  Custom curated you may say! lol
I also have a small crate of crafting supplies... one you are a child you know or a scrapbooker like this lot??  This is also $30 with same buying as above... Price for any bundles INCLUDE SHIPPING in the USA :)
Hand stitching.... I finished the bottom of the tea kettle...
Now I am thinking I will use the X format I used on the base for the wiry handle but what stitches should I use for that top of the kettle knob do you think???  And do any of you have a design for the belly of the kettle?
My hand quilting has culminated in finishing block #3 on this row... there are 4 per row... so floral in between each block is next then on to block #4 then the border and ROLL!!!!
I got this pattern recently... I wanna make it for a gift for someone and if not too arduous a stitching ... I will make me one too!  I feel so blessed!  This would make me and my friend both happy :)
Linking all this handy fun to my friend Kathy at Kathy's Slow Sunday Stitching crew... these are some magnificent stitchers... please come take a  look HERE <<<< Feel free to link up you WIP or Finish :)
She has a fun slow loving donkey meme on her page today! hehe

I got a new band and a cover for the front of my new apple watch... This new band is MUCH more comfortable than the original one I purchased !
Y'all... I am loving this new smart watch... it interacts with my iPhone and reminds me to stand, be mindful, and encourages me to move about and exercise or get in steps... something fun... also it keeps a  check on my heartrate and my oxygen rate and warns me if they are off kilter or if I fall... since I have seizures intermittently still... I hope this will help if I fall during one.  I never liked my FitBit this much... Yes this was more expensive than the $45 I paid for the first watch... but I was ready for this watch and I have no idea all it will do yet!  I am just messing around and seeking vids when I can on that specific need at the time ... lol!

My honey turns a big milestone year for us... He will have outlived most all his large family and including cousins... before this  time... even his dad... so I ordered him new pill boxes because his old ones were worn out! lol... so the ones on the left came in ... all the supplements and meds he takes daily won't fit completly in those boxes so I reordered what I thought would be a larger size... they are HUGE... much bigger than he needs... see the difference below???  I keep mine in a daily dose pack for the week.. no issues with mine.. it was replaced last year lol!  But his is now fixed up I guess... any more supplements you have to recommend??? 🤣
I hope you each have a fab day... thanks for making it this far... if you mention the discount word in THIS EMAIL <<<. You will get a $5 discount off the $30 flat fee for the box of the 5 options you may like to be delivered in the USA only .
Special Discount Code Word... Winner :)

Have a fantastic week and make time for a bit of pondering your life situations with some slow stitching time :)

  1. I LOVE that quilt you show made with the 9 patches!!! That what I needed to see, another quilt to add to the someday list! Maybe you could organize a sewalong on your blog. I think I'd use satin stitch on the teapot knob and what about a flower on the side, something with lazy daisy stitching? Have a blessed day!

  2. That is a beautiful quilt, and yes, I too find beautiful simple quilts and pop them on the to make list. That would be a great leader and ender project as you are working on something else. My hubby takes lots of pills and has a big pill one for morning and night that is removable from the case. Made it nice to go to the beach for 2 days and just take his Tuesday/Wednesday pill days. Have a wonderful week Kathi.

  5. What a wonderful blog post. I love the quilt you are considering making. It looks like you have to make quite a few nine patches and snowballs. The photo collage that you made for your parents is wonderful. I love the teapot you are stitching. Perhaps a pretty floral design for the body of it. Enjoy all of your pretty projects.
