And more thread beds done!

Four more thread beds are done! 58 out of 66 are done which is 88%. Now if you know me at all, this is not the end of these. Tomorrow I will show the next batch.

This fabric is from Wanda and is so cool! I had never seen this horse batik in all my years of shopping for batiks. There was enough for two and I will sew those tonight.

I received an email from a local grower. They have events for putting together planters using their plants and pots. This ad arrived and I thought what a cute idea! I have a slumped bottle from Colorways by Vickie Welsh, but right now I keep stones in it from trips to the ocean. I will have to see if I can persuade her to make me a couple more. I have some bottles I would be happy to mail her along with the Lenten Roses. I don't need a class to make one of this for $49.99!

More thread beds

I worked hard Saturday and Sunday on sewing thread beds. I am now 82% done with this first batch of 66 thread beds which means I have 54 done. I sewed together 22 this weekend and have 12 left to finish. These are the ones that the outside fabric and some of the inside fabrics were sent to me from Wanda.

These were made from fabric from my stash

Here they are all stacked up and now the bin is full! I'm going to need a bigger bin!

I did have to stop and make more flannel pieces.

Saturday I did go outside and trim the yard since my neighbor was out trimming and mowing. While I was trimming, he came over and mowed the front and side for me! It is his way of thanking me for watching their house and picking up the mail when they go on vacation. While I was outside I saw a one weed I needed to pull before it went to seed. What I didn't see was the weed in front of it which was one of those with the sticker seeds. Those seeds were stuck all over my shirt and pants! It took me an hour to pick them off!

Four more done and another show

The Hulk was hard at work and these four thread beds are done!

The band had a show in Soutrh Euclid last evening. I made pan banging penaut butter chocolate chip cookes for everyone.

We had a nice place to set up the merch booth under the big tent the event had erected. The crowd was great and since it was in NE Ohio, many followers of the band came.

Four more done!

I am now 45% done with this first batch of 66 thread beds. I finished four last evening.

More thread beds finished!

I was pushing hard last evening and met my goal of finishing those 10 thread beds. I am so glad I bought The Hulk! It makes it so much easier to install those snaps quickly! I am now 39% done with this first batch of 66 thread beds.

Here they are in the bin which is filling up quickly!

Thread beds progress. RIP Frank.

I got busy last evening and now have 10 thread beds ready for pressing the self-binding and final stitching. I had to quilt them then add the flannel to get them to this stage.

I was sorry to hear Frank Beard passed away. I have always liked ZZ Top's music; it is just fun. No messages, just fun songs.

Thread bed progress

I wasn't too ambitious when I got home from work. I was tired and watched an old movie. I finally got my second wind and trimmed the zipper pockets.

After that I went and sewed together two more thread beds. So now I have 16 out of the 66 I had cut out done. That's 24% done!

I have the lining and outside fabric layered and marked with tape for the next two thread beds.

Surprisingly yesterday was a bit slow at work. I had a pot of a succulent that had multiplied and needed to be split. Now I have a whole little garden! The cuttings all had a lot of roots so I hope they all take.
