Happy Sunday
Happy Sunday, aka: Happy Father’s Day.
The sun is bright with a brisk breeze for all that like it this way. I was up before six this morning by the grace of a call for the bathroom. I started the coffee and decided that I would take advantage of the cooler temps and the wind and enjoy our yard.
My goal was to take out a few weeds before the bugs knew I was up . . . and it worked until 7:30. The black flies were at it. Dennis and I did get a cup of coffee on the patio before it wasn’t fun anymore. I wasn’t about to put any bug repellant on as I knew I would soon be heading indoors. I sure didn’t want to feel sticky for the rest of the day.
Dennis made sure he had his cell phone with as there would be some Curry kids calling hi today.
I did head for the studio with coffee cup in hand. Today’s quest was working with 60 degree triangles. Keeping the angle of the fandangle straight was a challenge to make these blocks work. Looking at each
cut triangle it would appear all sides were equal . . . not! I had my trusting brass “picker-outer” close at hand. As evident from my photo, not all tips of the triangles turned out perfect. But hey? Who do I have to impress? Two separate finished blocks of these triangles will be incorporated in the final project.
When I got this pattern, it was a mix of fabric prints for each old time pattern. I had a heck of a time finding the older cherished patterns within the 60″ x 60″. I had decided I wanted to make each pattern quite distinguishable within its own block. Quilting is all about interpretation per quilter. So today was my green and cream combo, plus the strip of six in gold and cream.
Tomorrow if the heat continues, I will be turning the next page in the “Long Time Ago” pattern. This pattern has kept my interest, much like the novel I have going in my west porch bedroom.
Take it easy tomorrow. I would like to think of you all rather than read about you.
