This past week I managed a good deal in the sewing room. Our heater, AC unit, and ducting for them which is under the house had to be replaced. We had 3 or 4 technicians for 3 days crawling around in the attic, under the house, and in the hall way closet from 8 until 4:30 and almost 5:30 one night. With no heat and our temperatures in the high 40's or low 50's and only the two space heaters they provided it was pretty much the plan for us to stay locked up in the living room or the sewing room. I select the sewing room for most of the days. I got a good deal accomplished.
I shopped a week or so ago to find some fabric to make a couple of winter table runners. A comment from one of my bloggers about blue being a good winter color had me going through my stash and I found some really nice blue prints. I had a couple of great patterns and whipped up these two in two of the days in lock up. Several months ago I embarked on making a new bedspread for our king size bed. I was determined to do away with the dust ruffle on the bed, which required me to make the bedspread 100" by 120" rather than the normal king size I could have purchased. I got the bedspread, pillow shams and these two decorative pillows on the 14th back from my quilter. I started work on these two deco pillows. Just needed to get the envelope backs on them. I decided to start small and move on from there. I am using the fabric that I backed the quilt with. So it is now on to the pillow shams. Once I have the house all put back together I will bring my sewing machine out into the dining room and bind the quilt. I am going to need lots of space to get that accomplished.
