Bits and Pieces and some Chit Chat
Helllo Fellow Quilters, it's been awhile for sure lol. Well here is the latest in chit/chat and I know you can relate. Ohhhh it's so painful using my pinky to type....let me tell you the story.
I inherited some solid wood furniture, fancy off white, antiqued, French Provincial from the 60ties and from Chicago. I had always admired this particular set of bedroom furniture. Now, 40 years later, it is in my house as my SIL decided I must have it because it's not her favorite style. Talking about, good things come to those who wait 40 years lol.
Anyway to make room for this wonderful furniture, The one bedroom had to be emptied of it's contents first. That bedroom also has a nice set of the French but not as beautiful as this one. I am loath to get rid of solid wood, so instead, I got rid of a plastic storage cabinet in my studio and in it's place went the highboy. Then I moved all the bins and the tripple went there and bins were emptied into those drawers and stuff got thrown out too lol.
I love the look, even the tops are been use for storage. we put portable shelves on top to store my stuff.
Now lets get to the injured pinky. After moving all the stuff around, pictures had to be rerouted, so while hammering a very slim nail into the wall, I missed and smashed my pinky....it is black and blue but not busted, thank God but very painful, not too bad today.
I have been working on my Wheel Quilt in Aunt Gracie fabrics and that went on hold while I had some company for two weeks. I had finished working on my Twist quilt and table runner and had a bucket full of scraps to toss. I decided at the last minute to not toss them as hubby was doing the garbage.....so today I sorted the Aunt Gracie from the other and started this bit and piece quilt.
When I get the the thought to do it, I do it and this time I just picked an odd shape scrap and started to add pieces. I did 10 pieces and just sewed without cutting. I just cut off the seam allowances if they were too big. The I cut all the piece at odd angles and put them on the board to see. I will start another post as this one keeps droppin away from me.
