Good Deed Done
Today when I shut off the sewing machine it was with heartfelt thanks that I finished a good deed done. The family request to finish a started project came from a Speedy Delivery last Monday forenoon.
The printed feed sack that had been from decades ago is now a 52″ x 62″ cozy lap robe for cuddling. I had told Dennis this morning that my quest for the day was to finish this quilt from A to Z. The “Z” included using the last of the blocks to put them into a pillow. Not enough blocks to make the lap quilt larger, but too many to dismiss.
When the lights were shut off in the sewing studio, the first thing I did was put my walking shoes on and go for my walk. Square the shoulders, move from side to side and get the kinks out from perhaps too many hours at the machine. What can I say . . . started projects are hard to leave alone when the recipient of this quilt has plans to pass it along to a grandchild while she still can.
The walk has been had. A shower has been had. Thank goodness there is a hearty amount of the scalloped potato and ham dish reheating in the oven for supper.
By the way: the belt buckles that didn’t want to stay in the wall cabinet. There is a product that I had purchased at Michael’s for crafting . . . Zots. Little adhesive dots that when layered one onto another or perhaps another to adhere the belt buckle to the back of the shelf that they are perched on . . . time will tell. I know they work as I had used some when putting a Christmas decoration up a few years ago. When I took the decoration off of the wall, the Zots plus some of the wall’s finish came with it. We determined that the belt buckle case was really inadequate for the honking large size that some of these buckles are. As I said, time will tell.
