More HSTs

Half Square Triangles in seafoam and lavender are the only thing on my plate for the next couple of weeks. I might squeeze in a block here or there if the BOM instructions come out. These are the pieces for the next 32 Broken Dish units.  Once they are made I’ll assemble the next quarter of the wedding quilt.

Another Easy Breezy block was finished.

In other news this sheet pan and cooling rack arrived today.  I’m playing with acrylic paint pouring and previously only had this silicone mat on the counter to help keep the counter clean.  My hope is I’ll be able to contain the paint drips in the pan and off the counter, as well as be able to easily move drying canvases.  Since it’s a full sheet pan it doesn’t fit in my oven so I don’t have to feel back about getting paint on it.  I am wishing I bought two cooling racks though -one for painting and one for cooking.

  • 350 Challenge = 16
  • Easy Breezy = 93

P.S.  I forgot this post was to be part of Finished (or Not) Friday, so here is where the wedding quilt stands.  1/4 finished plus all those HST above.

40 Day Challenge Day 9

Yesterday my sister came over to quilt a baby quilt, so I had to clear off the quilting machine, again. Although I don’t think I’ll leave the leaf of my sewing table up on a regular basis, it did prove to be a great place to stack the various projects I have going. From the front to the back. On the bottom of the first pile is Allietare. On top of it is the binding fabric, the baby/doll quilt to bind and fabric for the bonus pillowcases. The middle pile is the quit which I need to label and the logcabin quilt. Leaning against the last pile is my Star Studded BOM. The last pile are quilts which need to be washed and photographed. Next to the sewing machine is pair #6 of the pants which need to be hemmed.

I only got one pair of pants hemmed yesterday. I got a bit distracted.

Acrylic Pour videos have been popping up on my Facebook timeline. I saw one by Mixed Media Girl where she used supplies from the Dollar Store  and thought that would be an inexpensive way to try out the technique. This is my first attempt.

Today after I run to Fedex to ship a package, I’m going to do my best to finish the hemming so I can cross it off my list.  I may load the log cabin quilt and while it’s quilting I think I’ll work on the BOM. It would be nice if I had a few more blocks done before I picked up this month’s kit.
