well today is shopping day for myself and my sister so no sewing unless something delays us. If so, I have number of piles of blocks to stitch out making double HST for the Exploding Heart pattern. I worked on them yesterday and made a big mistake for the blocks in group D. Thought I would have to rip out all the stitches but found a way around it. I'm using various whites on whites for my background fabric in this pattern to use up small yardages. I've had the 1st stitchouts on all groups A thru E, sliced and pressed them. Marked the next step on all of them and have them ready to stitchout either tonight or tomorrow for sure. I want to be at the point of putting them up on the design wall to start arranging them. I used blues, reds and greens for my colors.
I wouldn't have even started this project except Iowa was in a blizzard the other day so I didn't want to turn my quilt machine on as my power was flickering. The winds were so strong that it pulled out the power wire right off the house and I had to have an electrician plus the power company come out to put it back safely. Now it's done but by the time they were finished, I felt it too late to start quilting my next quilt, Elizabeth Hartman's Dinosaur pattern. Still up in the air on how I'm going to quilt this bad boy but I will get started on it tomorrow also. Been on a roll with my quilting of late and don't want to stop now. I was able to finish a quilt I started quilting back in 2023 and finally finished it plus 2 more oversized lap quilts in the past 2 weeks.
