Name Dropping Again!
I'm such a fan!
Marie Bostwick came to visit our local Quilt Guild.
Been waiting all year for her visit.
Her new book is a page turner.
Have you read it?
"Esme Cahill Fails Spectacularly "
I was on the front row. Of course.
I have a few chapters left.
All of my Books are signed, I had to wait until the end.
If you go to her website there is a tab that says 'Goodies', recipes and free
Quilt Patterns to download.
That Caramel cake was rich and delicious!
I spent the day doing what I needed to do.
Not my favorite to do hems and replace Zippers.
Hubby's newest suit needed a zipper.
It required taking out about 5 seams, ug!!
So glad that is done!
I also did some hemming for a friend who's daughter is having a destination
wedding in Jamaica soon.
6 blouses, 3 lined dresses.
While I had the serger out I fix one of mine.
So the tally was 13 hems that were measured, pinned, cut and serged, then hemmed
with a straight stitch.
I only had to buy one spool of Pink thread.
Didn't have one to match close enough
in my Thread Stash, lol.
Today is the Lori Holt Day!
Time to make those last 3 Blocks.
Got them all cut and then found I had already cut the Colored parts for the Milk Cow. Uh oh!
Changed it up a little with the fussy cutting of the background fabric.
Can't wait til you see it.
We chose the Borders for the Guild Raffle Quilt before listening to Marie.
That got me started on my own Farm Girl
Vintage 2 quilt July 19...
I didn't grow up a Farm girl but I did visit
many farms as a young girl.
And I married a Farmer!
Tomorrow we set up the Quilt Festival.
I was asked to show the new ladies how to Pin the leaders between two quilts.
Guess I am the professional at pinning.
Happy to help.
No Temple day this week.
It's the anniversary of the Day we had our first bouncing baby boy 👶.
Happy Wednesday!
Glad you got to meet Marie Bostwick at your guild meeting.
ReplyDeleteKudos to you for getting all that unpleasant sewing (mending) completed. I am the worst at putting that off.
I look forward to seeing your Lori Holt creations!
I recently finished Marie's Esme Cahill book and loved it. I was hoping to find a recipe for the caramel cake at the end but it wasn't there. I didn't think to look for it online so I'm very grateful to have read this post with directions to find the recipe. I'll try it soon!
ReplyDeleteOh, the mending. Does it ever end? It seems like I finish and then there's another piece of clothing that needs help. It sounds like you're an experienced seamstress with the kind of mending you do. (Mine is usually repairing holes.) Good for you to get yours done.
