Frustration!!!

Well I can't seem to get anything to work out right in my sewing room and that means I don't have anything new on the quilty front to show you. I'm working on the Antique quilt and I think I may have messed up somewhere along the line, but I'm not sure where. It could be that I'm trying to convert from cm to inches or maybe my printer is way off, but things don't seem to be lining up like they should. I decided to put the AQ down and just do something mindless for a little while.

First I went out on the deck and took a few pictures of the wonderful flowers out there. Usually by this time in the summer they are looking pretty wilted, despite my husbands best attempts to keep them green and flowering. We've had unseasonably cool temps the last few days and a bunch of rain. Seems we've switched places with Seattle somehow...poor them... Anyway here are some pretty flowers...

 

 

 

Then I moved on to taking pictures of the animals. Shia is saying "help! the kitty is taking over my bed"

 

Now Shia is saying "oh well might as well live with it"....lol

 

But I still wanted to sew something and I don't make a lot of mindless quilts as most of the stuff I do involves itty bitty pieces, so I remembered that Monday when I was at the Savage Quilter in Oklahoma City I picked up this panel (forgot to take a picture) of kitchen towels and tada.....

 

 

 

Cute huh!?! Didn't think I needed to take pictures of all 7 of them, but they each have a scene of the chores for that day just like Grandma's used to. Very vintage and nostalgic looking, although it's just printed on the fabric. I thought about both of my Grandma's while sewing and I really, really miss them. Also the panel came with 4 napkins, but I didn't get them hemmed yet.

Okay I guess I should accomplish something around this house today and maybe I'll pick up the AQ again tomorrow. Sometimes if you give a frustration a few hours it works itself out.
