Thread beds almost done

I took a half day's vacation on Friday; I just had a lot to get done. I made a road trip to the bulk food store I like and needed to go to the credit union in person. After that I headed home; it was a 124.9 mile round trip. I first trimmed these blocks. I never had time at lunch last week to trim them.

Some of the blocks had just enough fabric left that I needed to do something with that.

I made some tiny four patches. It would have been so easy just to pitch those cut off bits.

Next I worked on getting the rest of the pieces I needed for the thread beds. By Saturday at 11:30 am, I had all the pieces cut and the thread picked out.

By 6:30 pm Sunday, all 16 of the thread beds were sewn. The finished 10 1/2" x 13".  They still need snaps.

The punch, maul, and board showed up on Saturday!  Tonight I will be installing snaps. 

That was pretty fast from Texas! I didn't get a chance to try the punch out. By 6:30 pm I was just too tired. I had only taken one does of that elixir on Saturday, and on Sunday my chest, neck and teeth were hurting. I was almost out of the elixir so I was seeing if I needed to get another bottle or not. I got three doses in on Sunday and I am going to get another bottle today.
