When I opened the studio early this morning, I looked at the pitiful blocks on the design wall and set about helping them. Because the original quilt was done on point and really looked great, I decided not to fight success and put this little left over quilt on point as well.
|
Now, that's better!! Do you like the setting triangles? I sure do! |
But the little quilt would have to wait; I had the paper pieced quilt on the frame calling to me to hurry up and quilt! The black parts took most of the morning and just a bit of the afternoon, finally changing to colored thread at 3:30pm. At 5:30 the quilt was finished and trimmed! Yippee!!
|
The back is a wild batik! |
Once this challenge was done, I began sewing the little quilt's rows together. I only got the three upper left hand corner done because it was after 6:00 and I had to start supper.
|
With a little luck, I may get the top put together tomorrow |
While I was stir-frying veggies for dinner, I heard a big rumbly sound and Molly got all worked up like someone was here. I went outside and there was a guy on an earth mover moving earth! Remember, it is well after 6pm when this happened. There in the thick of it was Mr Wazoo, like a kid in a candy store, following the guy around and enjoying the action. Sigh... It is now 7:30, I ate
my dinner, and now there are
two guys and Hubby out in the driveway framing up and leveling the ground for the cement trucks tomorrow.
|
The origin of the rumble just outside the kitchen door! |
|
Mr Wazoo dug the trench and laid in conduit for the electricity for his shed. It will be under a load of cement tomorrow at this time. |
|
The second guy continued earth moving while Hubby and Guy #2 inspected wood for the forms. |
|
Wood laid out but not made into forms yet |
|
Notice how Mr Wazoo supervises while Guy #2 unloads the wood |
|
Rumbling and wood moving continued, but the food was ready and I eat when it's hot! At 7:45 the Hubster came in to shower. I guess I better get his dinner re-heated. Never a dull moment at chez Wazoo! Stay tuned for tomorrow's episode. |
Home Improvement--next to quilting, what a wonderful hobby! I love Mr. Wazoo stories.
