Yes, I have been procrastinating.  I don’t know why, but I haven’t felt like sewing for a while.  I guess basting quilts is not all that exciting.

There has been some overtime at work.

And I did make a gooseberry pie.

Hubby will be picking cherries today, so a cherry pie will be made.

Getting outside and practicing my photography has been lots of fun.

And I have totally finished every stinking seam; that is, stitched in the ditch and removed all of the basting safety pins from this quilt:

I could actually call it done, but I am not.  The fun part begins.  There will be some free motion quilting happening.

I also started a new project. 

I saved alphabet pincushion embroidery patterns that Jenny of Elefantz so generously posted on her blog in 2018.  I haven’t worked embroidery in quite a long time, and I’d really like to get back to it.  This is an easy way to do that.

I took a white tea towel and divided it into sections for each letter.

Then I traced each letter with a blue washout marker.  The first marker that I tried had too heavy of a tip, so thank goodness that it will wash out!

My tracing set up is a clear plexiglass table that Hubby made for me, and an Ott light that I have slid underneath.

All the letters of the alphabet are traced; one in each square.

The letter A is embroidered.

I intend to stitch the letter B today.  

And bake a cherry pie.

Stay healthy!  Stay safe!
