Olympic Sewing

 Hello Everyone,

I'm engaged in my very own Olympics here at Wilder's Last Resort by doing some Olympic sewing.  I'm not a Quad God but my pincushion resembles a spiky crown. 

Twenty-four little 6" baskets are now finished, and I've been a focused bundle of determination just like an Olympian focused on their sport.  My sport is creating heirlooms for future civilizations....well family members at the very least.

Next up I'll be tackling the purple blocks.  Once they're done, I'll stitch them to the medallion quilt and move on to the next round. It's not the finals yet, but I can see the finish line off in the distance.....the very distant finish line.

 

I have some commitments this week that will limit my time in my sewing room....sigh.  My forward progress is going to be at a much slower pace.  

Next week there's a lot of snow in our future.  Mr. Joe tried his best yesterday, but he couldn't get the snowblower working even after his best pep talk with a few 'blue' words thrown in as punctuation. He even called our son, the resident family mechanical wizard for some pro tips.  Our son wants to come up here to the mountains and help him out, but he's traveling to Connecticut for work and will be gone during our snowstorm.  If you don't hear from me next week, just know that we will be as snug as two little bugs in our snowy fortress waiting for spring or rescue whichever comes first.

Soon,

Lynn
