Hello Everyone,
I officially have a flimsy! "Spoken For" is a completed quilt top.
I put it on the snowbank in our driveway and took a picture between snow showers. Yes, there is a double flange! Flanges are like potato chips, you can't make just one.
I think this quilt is a beautiful showcase for the Far Horizons fabrics by Henry Glass Company. I really enjoyed putting the combinations together.
I'll have to wait until it warms up outside so I can put this flimsy on my longarm. The machine lives in my garage, and it was a balmy 32 degrees inside the garage yesterday.
My resistance to Mr. Joe's ailment finally caught up with me. There was absolutely no social distancing in our house, and now I have what he has. Stuffing nose, sore throat, cough, but no fever. When I took a 4-hour nap on Tuesday, Mr. Joe knew I was sick. Napping in the middle of the day is not something I do, since I have so much to do.
I was the vision of loveliness, and was over the top sexy last night when I went to bed. I used my mom's old home remedy of applying hot Vicks on my chest, then pinned a piece of wool to my pajamas to help keep the Vicks warm. Then I curled up in bed while clutching the heating pad on my chest. My new fragrance was "eau de Vicks", and acts as instant birth control.
We are taking it easy, except for the snow shoveling yesterday. We like to keep the driveway cleared just in case we need to get out in an emergency. The snow plows have been coming by regularly, so the streets are nice and clear.
Remember......the longer we stay put, the sooner we will be out of our confinement.
Soon,
Lynn
Love the closeup. I’ve used a flange a few times but always at the binding. I’m totally loving the look of the flanges on this quilt. Reminds me of when I used to use mascara. Can’t now secondary to allergies. I now only have my ‘normal’ face. The dress up face disappeared a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet your "normal face" is beautiful!
ReplyDeletehope you feel better soon - vicks fan here too - always have a jar in the house
ReplyDeleteI read that it helps colds if you rub it on the bottom on your feet. Now if I could just reach my feet!
DeleteI really like these fabrics in "Spoken For"! I'm hoping that you and Mr. Joe are back to normal as soon as possible!!! Don't fight off those healing naps. By the way, I thought I caught the scent of Vicks in the wind this morning Lynn! Exactly how much did you apply??????
ReplyDeleteLet's just say the bottle is getting pretty low. Whatever works.
DeleteThat's all that counts, my friend!!!!!
DeleteWell you have done it again! "Spoken For" is beautiful! What's next? How about just taking it easy and getting over the cold? My news is a first time "Zoom" meeting with my Kenwood Church Board. Amazing! What's next for my 85th year?
ReplyDeleteFran, you will have some amazing things happen in your 85th year......including my retreat! Take good care.
DeleteGorgeous Lynn! Those double flanges do really make the quilt sparkle! And take care and get plenty of rest! Hugs, H
ReplyDeleteThanks Helen. Getting the flange and borders on took every bit of energy I had.
DeleteWoo-hoo! Thanks to lots of time during this self-isolation period, I've finally figured out how to get my comments accepted while using Safari! Hope you're both feeling better! Mr. Squash is spending his isolation time contemplating this year's blueberry harvest...we both love how Spoken for looks like blueberries in the snow!
ReplyDeleteIt's so good to see you're able to comment again Candace. I've missed your sense of humor. I would like to say we are feeling better.....but. We do fine in the morning, but by afternoon we are like wet noodles. Say hi to Mr. Squash.
