Block of the month

So I decided I would try to participate in a "Block of the Month Sew Along".  It's the end of July, and seven months into the sew along and I have not done a single thing....until this week.


I don't understand why I thought this was so hard and now I know why people can participate in this! Maybe it was because I just couldn't decide on the fabric, I don't know.   I literally decided to work on the pink block on Sunday night at 8!  I cut the blocks out and had them all put together by 10:30.  Only had to rip once!

I got the other block done on Monday night.  And now it's Friday and I haven't been in the sewing room since Monday.




I also realized I had a limited amount of the white swirl fabric and there will probably be not enough for 12 blocks.  I've looked all over the internet for "Spill The Beans Swirls" by Barbara Tourtillotte for Clothworks"  and I haven't found it.

It looks yellow beige in the picture but it's really and truly white on white.  I have decided that I would make as many blocks as I can with this fabric and then I will use KONA white for the rest.  I am telling myself that it will be just fine.

I hesitated to make this quilt because I didn't know what I would do with it.  But Allison commented to me that she liked the traditional quilt blocks.  So maybe this will have a home after all!!

Here we are again...

As I started my blog adventures again, I decided to spend a few posts reflecting on life during the hieght of the pandemic.  But now, after a few months of various vaccines being available, and a few months of mask mandates being lifted and the hope of life returning to normal.... mask mandates are now coming into effect again.  There is a surge in variants of COVID, especially the "Delta variant".  There are increases in those testing postive and increases in those being hospitalized.  At this time only 45% of Kansans and 50% of the US population are vaccinated.  We are a long ways from herd immunity people!! On Friday K-State issued the mask mandate again just as employees are heading back to campus today. USD383 issued a mask mandate for everyone and as far as I can tell when kids return in the fall: I just feel like we are going backwards instead of forwards. Most of those that are being hospitalized are those who are not vaccinated and many of them ar...

Let's start again....

 WOW...Where do you start? You would of thought that I would of wanted to do this blog during the pandemic...but I didn't.  I always wonder why I start and stop...why I can't keep up.  Maybe I run out of things to say or maybe there is just too much going on to share my thoughts on a blog post.  Who knows? What did get me starting to think about blogging again was a question that was asked from someone I follow...."how do you record your projects, do you use Instagram, Facebook, blog, paper..?"  Which led to a bigger question... what do you want to record... your life, your projects, your travels??  That is alot to put out to the world.. But I think what I do want to record are my projects...the hows, they whys and especially the "whats".   What yarn did I use to make that teddy bear, what size needle did I use to knit that blanket, what was the free pattern for that quilt? So here I am again attempting to document yet again.   I am real...

July Happenings...

Since these are catch up posts for the month of July, here are the other happenings.... What do you do with all of those flowers left over from a wedding?  You decorate your house with them! Hubby had a birthday...  And a visit was made to see great-grandpa in Lawrence.  Someone loved moving the bed up and down.  Three generations of the Pacumbaba clan These mug rugs were made for hard working colleagues who had dealt with the fire recovery and are still dealing with the fire recovery.  The inspiration for the mug rugs came from here . Mimi got a new house cleaner... And as a reward she got to spend lots of time at the pool... eating snacks of course! And Mimi and Papa did some baby sitting...  We did not know we weren't supposed to play with Mama's makeup... And another visit was made to celebrate dad's birthday... And since it is July, it is peach jam time! We got our bikes out for the first t...
