Day 7 of the challenge had me sewing the binding strips together for Narragansett Blues before work and then ripping them out and sewing them together correctly before attaching the binding to the quilt after work. No pants were hemmed tonight.

The status report stands as it did after Day 6.

Not much happened on the quilting front.  I cut the binding for Narragansett Blues, then hemmed 2 pair of pants. I cleaned up a bit of batting and backing from recent quilts, and tracked down some of the fabric for those “bonus”

Here’s what is left to do:

• A customer’s quilt – binding needs to be pressed, then can be attached and stitched down 6/6/2020
• Allietaire – plan do do both scallops and a 2 color binding.
• Narragansett Blues

Yesterday I decided how I’m going to bind for Narragansett Blues. I’ll use the blue backing fabric for the binding with the gold as the flange. But that’s not all I did.

I unpacked 2 boxes from the office. I haven’t posted about the changes I’ve made in the living room.  I painted, put in new flooring, purchased a new sofa and recliner and rearranged the furniture.  All of this required moving everything out of the living room and dinning room.  I think there were 32 small moving boxes of books and nicknacks, plus various crates. Most ended up in the back bedroom.  I’ve SLOWLY been unpacking.  Perhaps I need to add unpack boxes onto my challenge.

The first box contained yearbooks. There must be another box because that cabinet was full before the shuffling began.  The second box contained photo albums.

My wedding album is what is missing here. Currently it is on the hearth.  The “leather” cover has gotten sticky over the years so I need to do something so it doesn’t tear up the finish on the table.

But back to the real challenge.  I hemmed 2 pair of pants!
