I was really busy this past week. I joined several members of my charity group and we sorted and bagged up 325 quilts for six different local agencies in our area and deliver them. My grandson brought me a pair of firemen's uniform pants to hem. Good thing I love him as alternations and mending is definitely not a favorite thing I care to do. These were complicated in that they have a buckle and velcro strap that is used to chinch the leg around their boots so the end of the pant legs don't catch on fire. These were too long, they wear them sorter than normal length and had to be hemmed up 4 inches, which required the buckle and strap to be removed and moved up. Sewing through multiple layers of heavy fabric, taking off the buckle and strap and getting it back on in the right position was a bit scary.
I did a bit of cutting table clean up this week. I happened onto this rotating storage container on Amazon. It has replaced multiple containers that I used to stash little rulers, marking pens, glue and other small tools. I can finally stop searching all over the table for small items, all in one place now. I am back to working on week two's blocks of Autumn Nights. I have one more to go and then can put the small quilt together. These little guys are buggers. Not fun at all! I have gone a bit pumpkin crazy this past week. These little guys are fun and will be making a few more of them for our guild's quilt show boutique coming up in January. I might keep this bottom one for myself. Working on one with black fabrics that I really like too.
