Am actually finishing up painting my kitchen cupboards. The ones damaged during our kitchen fire got a fresh coat of paint but it made the rest of the cupboard doors look old and tired so, with the leftover paint, am giving them a clean, nicer look, covering up years of nicks and scratches and abuse.
And, I have made a new table topper for my kitchen table.
I also worked on my monster mystery quilt. I was determined to get this quilt quilted and bound and out of my sewing space. It was taking up too much space and yet I was dreading the pulling, pushing and shoving that was required to get it through the machine. The quilt was too large for our B-line set up and I didn't think that it warranted me spending big bucks for professional quilting so I did it myself. PHEW! Done, finito, bound and on a bed. I is totally made from scraps from my quilting leftovers. Even the binding is made from leftover binding strips from other quilting projects. Am so happy it is finished!!
I also found an old quillow, made for my daughter, 20 years ago that was in sad shape, badly torn and worn. I didn't do much to it but fixed up the major tears and thought it was worth salvaging as it has obviously been well used and hated to throw it out.
So, while I haven't been spending time adding to this blog or on the computer much at all, I have accomplished some other projects and it feels GOOD!
