Oh Boy Here We Go Again Hallucinationville

Oh Boy!

I'm in trouble now!

I finished the piece of work that was on the "must practise" listing and found myself with some extra time tardily afternoon.

You know how they say "Idleness is the devil's playground?" I disagree!

Because fabric and rulers and rotary cutters tin go me into a big heap of trouble in a blink! LOL!

And I call up this is where I'm leaning.

But then again, I could change my listen at any time, so don't quote me!

The two tubs of inspiration strips, received as a souvenir from a quilty friend.

I recognize a lot of these prints - they probable date back into the early 2000'due south with some before.

Deep, rich browns and all of those warm and toasty neutrals. And they are already cutting!

The beginning thing that came to mind for me were all of the traditional go-tos. Log cabin. Ix-patches. Four-patches. Rail fences. And sky knows in that location are enough strips that I may exist able to still go that road for another quilt down the road from these -

Yesterday I asked the question on Instagram/Facebook:

"What comes first for you?

⁣

The pattern that inspires you to pull fabrics immediately?

⁣

Or the fabric on hand that demands to exist fabricated into something that knocks your socks off?"

And the replies were wonderfully varied. Some are inspired past the textile and the colors that just need to be fabricated into something, so a pattern idea forms around the fabric.

Others see a quilt they just have to make, and so go about pulling the fabrics to make that quilt dream a reality.

No matter how yous work it - it's all skilful!

This is where I landed yesterday.

And I like it! That turquoise hourglass in the middle is going to add a bit of a pop.

I was also thinking red, but there wasn't enough contrast, and I'thou already using cerise in a couple of other quilts I take going on. I needed something else.

All sewn together.

And being pleased with the results - Away I went to cut of the hourglass units I volition demand (roughly equally nothing is set in stone design-wise all the same.) to get a proficient commencement.

These hourglass pairs are already matched brown/neutral as I cut them with right sides together then they are ready to feed through the machine as I take time.

This is likely to be my winter project while everyone else is sewing on this twelvemonth'southward Quiltville Winter Mystery! HA!

I'thou pulling the needed squares from my squares boxes, and if I run out - I'll cutting more from strips and other scraps.

The Brownish is going DOWN!

I too have to thank an anonymous someone who dropped iii grocery numberless total of wonderful magazines at the front door of Quiltville Inn.

NO NOTE!

In the Free basket for retreaters to grab!

Thank you lot thank you, whoever you are. You brought a grin to my face up and I'm pitiful I wasn't around to greet you.

My evening job -

Taping off columns and supports.

It's going to take us a long time to get the porch painted all the way effectually. Those rails are going to exist a booger.

Right now we are focusing on simply the dorsum dining area because that's where people get together.

Nosotros'll exist working on this more than this weekend.

While I taped, this too went on:

The blocks surrounding the center cauldron take been cemented in to place so they are sturdy.

The cauldron has airholes drilled into the bottom of it, and is raised on big rocks underneath to allow air flow. In that location are cracks between the blocks where air can period to let more air in.

Dave added metal edging in a circumvolve around the pit, and then filled that area with gravel.

We demand more gravel - and don't ask me why that ane purse is a darker color? The next batch we get will even it all out and we'll mix it all in.

It was late when nosotros got back, dinner didn't happen until 8pm and it was all I could do to keep my eyes open until 9:xxx when I gave upward and went to bed.

And this is where the excitement continues.

This morn nosotros are headed to Wallburg. Our renter has moved out. We are meeting with a realtor to get the house on the marketplace.

Which means in that location is way too much stuff to deal with - let the donation runs brainstorm.

There is some furniture that Jeff and Ashlyn want. There are things I want either here at the cabin, or for the retreat, or in the QPO studio.

And all in all, it is overwhelming, but while the conditions is yet expert I plan on taking 1 24-hour interval a calendar week to go down at that place and empty out each room ane at a fourth dimension getting it show-ready.

I've emptied a cupboard in the guestroom here at the cabin - and the overflow of quilts will exist stacked floor to ceiling.

Then I will start the distribution to family and friends.

The bed in the chief chamber at the Wallburg house is of much better quality than the IKEA bed at the cabin, so today nosotros swap the beds. Just the frames - the IKEA stuff can stay to stage the Wallburg house.

AUUGHH! Downsizing is so difficult.

But here we go.

Quiltville Quote of the 24-hour interval -
