After a night’s rest I was able to resolve my tension issues and started quilting. This is the first quilt I’ve done in almost a year. Prior to this one the last quilt I quilted was April 4, 2021. Four days later I decided to move and I started packing. This is the Mississippi Quilt Association‘s BOM from 2020. They are running it again. The blocks are available HERE.
Boxes were moved, one at a time. Books are heavy. They’ll hang out in the corner room until my bookshelves are built.
The front bedroom is the audiovisual library. 78’s, LPs, 45s, CDs, cassettes, DVDs, and VHS. A box of LPs are heavier than a box of books — including the yearbooks. All of this will be gone through and thinned out eventually. This will go in the den after that room is finished.
The instrumental music library. Clearly it all won’t fit in the piano bench. I’m pondering storage solutions.
I’m considering an Ikea Kallax.
I would use these inserts, put it on legs and fashion some doors. But that’s a future project.
While shuffling boxes I opened the next to last box the movers packed and finally found my silverware. I’m not sure what I thought was in the box. It was not labeled.
I found MORE of the auction blocks. These are smaller than the others. I have enough for yet another quilt. I’ll sash them and set them on point after trimming them to the same size.
Moving all of the boxes means I’m able to setup my quilting space. It’s not done, but I have a work space.
Last night the borders were added to the crazy quilt. I used straight pins to hang the quilt on the wall. I really need to get my design wall put up, but it’s on hold until the trim is caulked and that is on hold until my patio door is installed.
The quilt was loaded last night. This morning before work I started the quilting. I’ll do another pass at lunch.
