Yesterday, I kind of started working on my newest snow person punch needle design. BUT Sandi and I had not seen each other for a couple of weeks, so we did way more chatting that stitching. Loved it! So this morning I fit in about 25 minutes to finish off the first piece of this design.
Last night I did some woodworking. Kevin and I bought 2x4s and a 2 x 4 foot sheet of plywood. Then we went to his school and he used the chop saw and table saw to cut the boards to proper sizes. I held the frame pieces in place while he screwed them together. Then I drilled holes in the two pieces of plywood and we shared the task of screwing them down. What did we make? A craving bench for me to use at the apartment. Will it travel back to South Dakota in May? (Well, if I could get Hermoine's carry all bag maybe, but time will tell.) I also purchased a fun mat to stand on as I carve. Hope to do a little carving this afternoon, but I have other plans for the rest of my morning. My next carving class is Monday afternoon.
I am working on my large Christmas Twister quilt. I am not thinking it will be long before it is pieced, but I may not get it on the bed until MUCH closer to Christmas. Once it is on the bed we will have exactly 4 Christmas decorations. The Advent wall hanging needs about 2 hours of quilting and then it will be on the wall today. Better late than never, right?
Off to recut and stitch. Figure that if I work at this twister quilt steady for the next couple of days, I should have it on the frame by Wednesday. I am always the optimist!
