IN THE 'PINK'

I am actually sewing with pink today--
on a Saturday--
usually my 'color of the month' sewing is any day but Saturday!!!

Here is the 4-9patches--

and here is the star blocks--

and I have all the pretty dresses all laid out-
for the next batch of 'sisters' blocks--

Also I did a lot of 'future' cutting for all '3' sets of these
color of the month projects I do--
for the basic fabrics--black squares for center-
off white squares for the stars and --
and body pieces for the sisters!!
should be set for the rest of the year--or pretty close--

and I have a second color collection in pink--
remember--so will be sewing more pink blocks before the month is over!!!

And here is a good 'sorta' finish--
as in the top is done--
on the Christmas hand piecing club--

This is the set-up I came up with--
all has been hand pieced--
I had to order a Christmas print for the backing--
and something for the binding--
as soon as they come in--I will be layering this one--
and basting it for hand quilting--!!

I have also started putting together the Aqua block one--
That one is not on Junes OMG list--but need hand work to do
while waiting on the Christmas fabric to finish that one--
and actually as far as the OMG goal--
I only listed getting the top done--on the Christmas one--
so 2 out of my 3 goals for OMG are done for June--
and good news on the 3rd goal--
which is finishing the top for the pink rose heart top--
my order of solid pinks came in yesterday--
and--
one of the pinks did match--so can work on that top again!!!


^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Just a story for you--
When I moved in this apartment--
I put dark purple rugs in the bathroom--
2 of them side by side-
and they needed to be laudered-
but I kept putting it off and off--
cause I was afraid they would run like crazy--
As I got some money for my birthday--
I decided I wanted a new shower curtain and I would just get new rugs--towels, too--
you--know how it is--

I really jumped down a rabbit hole here--
ordered a new liner and a new shower curtain--
and new rugs and towels-(yep I can get carried away)
the new shower curtain came in--
it was a huge humming bird--
only --
the bird was really pretty--but the rest of the curtain background--
was a dull dirty grey color--and it looked terrible--
so that got sent back--
and in the mean time--I decided I really liked the purple in the bathroom--
so I finally --finally got brave and popped them, and
the shower curtains I had hung up and 2 towels, and the rug that is light aqua
and is in front of the sink --
all of them at once in the machine with 3 color catchers-- and waited!!!!
Would you believe those really dark purple rugs did not run!!!  unbelievable!!!!
everything came out nice and bright and clean!!!
so I still have all the 'old' things in my bathroom--
as a side note--I had no problem returning the shower curtain and getting a refund--
and when I went to send back the new aqua colored rugs and towels--
they did easily give me back a full refund--and then told me to keep them--
I can still use them, donate them or throw them out!!!!
So now where do I store them for now?????
Also the liner went back--it has these little suction cups and the stitching
was completely loose and it was way too long --and it cost me $15--
I only paid $3-4 for the one I had up and it is at least 6 years old--
and has been washed several times--!!!!
Luckily we can climb back out of the rabbit hole sometimes!!




Well--that's all folks--
for today anyways!!!

PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY--
I FEEL MORE UNSAFE TODAY THAN I DID WHEN THIS ALL STARTED BACK IN MARCH!!!
LUV AND HUGS, DI

i KEEP one extra mask in my purse--
and I keep one on my door handle--
so that I always remember to put it on as I leave the apartment--
some are saying --they don't work--at least that is the 'excuse' they are giving themselves--
but--
I say--it just might help you not to get Covid-19 by wearing one-so why wouldn't you want to 
wear one--and what if you are coming down with it and don't know it--
would you really want to 'pass' it on to others?????  And how would you feel if someone died
cause you gave them Covid-19--
I will continue to wear mine--for a year if I have too!!!
Do I like wearing them--No way--they are hot (remember I live in Florida --mid state--our daily temps are in the low 90's now-)and ever time I bend down I cant see--
and I miss people seeing my smile!!
and here--I have to wear them to go down and do laundry, to get my mail-or pick up a package at the front desk--or like now--take garbage down to the garbage room--alot of you only have to wear them when you go in a store--!!!
