💝 REMINISCING 💝

Good morning ❣️

Last week in May and we are almost into the middle of the year!!!

Sunday was a rare day I was home and able to do some sewing 🧵

(No better way to spend the day I say 💛)

The coffee table in front of the TV is 27 years old and I don’t think I will ever get rid of it . I’m lucky I have a handy husband and if the table becomes unstable due to age he will fix it 🤍

This table I bought just after our son was born. The boy is now 28 & is getting married at the end of the year !…. It has been a table that he has sat on … just because 😏… he’s run around it as a game …. Used it to play table tennis 🏓 seeing as he was little, and it has been a battering board for him. All his little toys were banged on it so he could make noise 🥳 Needless to say the table has many many scars and as as these days we pay a lot of money for a “distressed” look I think my table covers that aspect well 🤩

The table is wiped down and a light polish applied each week and now I cover it with my quilted table runners . This would have to be the most used table in the house & I’m taking it with with us when we downsize eventually 🔶

I love looking around my house and seeing things the kids have used over the years and still use when they come over. Life always comes full circle ⭕️ and everything I look at and remember is such a blessing 🟣.

And so …. Another table runner adorns my favourite table in the house 🏡

A slightly larger table runner washed and dried
It covers the table well
I have not done FMQ in a very long time as it takes a toll on my RA hands… but as it wasn’t a very large piece I was ok 👌

I’m onto my next project now so see you all soonish 💙

Another one complete ♥️

Good morning and happy Monday my friends 🤗

This quilt has been a while in the making 😍

I did have all the panels completed a while ago but had only got round to wadding backing and quilting two panels.

This is the first weekend in the last few months that has been a home based weekend and as the hubster was busy working on his project I sat and completed the third panel on Saturday.

Sunday saw me put the panels together with the QAYG method and it became heavier by the minute 😊

Last but not least the binding went on and instead of hand sewing I machined it in place ….

VOILA 🙌

🤍🤍

Another idea is brewing and this time it needs to be ready by 10th July as it’s a birthday gift 🎁… fingers crossed 🤞 I get it done in time 😍

We are back 🥰

Again it’s some scrappy goodness potholders ❤️

My girlfriend loves red …. And she’s always helping me out with various things … easy stuff…. Hard stuff and the best part is she never ever makes me feel like I’m taking advantage.

I guess that’s what friends are and I’m blessed to have her in my life. She’s been a part of my life since school and we lived on the same street. Her birthday is in a couple of months and I’m wanting to make her a quilt but in the meantime I keep making little things as a thank you for her as she loves anything quilted 🤩

Needless to say she was extremely happy 😊
