Hi Cuties! You are probably bored looking at quilt tops from me, but here goes another one. I call it Long May She Wave.
A lady gave me two panels she said she had forever and knew she would never finish them and thought I would. Well this is the first.
The red stripes that are still on the top and bottom of the panel were on the sides too. I should say they were included but very curvy, wonky. I wish I had taken a photo. All I could do was cut them off because to even the panel up, you would have some places with stripes and some places without.
I had some fabric similar to the stars that were only on the top and bottom, so I added that to the side panel, even though they were not exactly alike. I needed width because after trimming sides the panel really was very narrow and long.
I had seen something like this on the internet, so I added 2 1/2 x 6 1/2 rectangles for the background, to hopefully look like the continued waving of the flag in the panel.
While I am not too happy with the result, it's not that bad. The measurements came out 64 wide x 83 long. I started this Monday, but before you say anything, I sewed l late both days and finished up this afternoon. My hubby helps hold me rulers while I cut the pieces, too. Anyway here she is.
Hope you are all well-we are ok-My best to you all-Toogie
I get lazier and lazier as the social distancing continues. Even send less cards and make less phone calls. Now that we can swim again - with a lot of regulations - I feel a lot better, it gives me renewed energy to do my 40 laps. I have mainly been practising forgotten things on my knitting machine. But my stash still takes up more cupboards and boxes than I dare to confess. But when I needed some part for the machine I also bought some new yarn as it looked so nice :)
I no longer listen when my DH watches the news, reading one daily newspaper will do for me.
Serenity prayer says it all.
(anybody old enough to remember plaster of paris?) -lol
