Nothing to show for today's progress

I got quite a lot of quilting done yesterday and have now finished quilting three name quilts. I'm working on Noah's now. Of course I still have binding to attached when I finish quilting so the end isn't in sight yet but I'm plugging away. Today was a busy day so though I took my quilting with me into Utsunomiya I didn't get more than three or four stitches put into it. Maybe tonight after English. Did I mention that my fingers are sore from all this quilting. Tonya doesn't use a hoop but that means the index and middle fingers of my left hand gets pricked a lot and so they are sore. The right hand's index finger is sore too from pulling the needle (but I do use a thimble on the right hand. I have trouble with a thimble on the left hand when I'm not using a hoop. I don't know why.)

Anyway, I don't have anything to show so maybe I'll put up a picture of this year's bazaar quilt since I started blogging after the bazaar. I'm in charge of deciding next year's bazaar quilt so I spend a lot of time looking around the internet for possible patterns...

Quilting!

Ok. I quilted for most of the morning and some of the afternoon. I'm still working on the name quilts and I'm following the advice of Tonya who does the wonky quilts and do the work for FUN not so that it's perfect. I didn't draw quilt lines, I don't use a hoop. I just randomly do the fans over any inch of fabric that I come to and it's working out better than I thought. I debated about skipping a lunch date with friends and just continue quilting all day but I decided that would be anti-social so I took my quilting to the restaurant and it was a good thing I did. The rest of the group (they came together) was 40 minutes late! I got a lot of quilting done just waiting for them! Here are a couple of pictures though they don't look much more different from when they were in the flimsy stage. Oops. Caleb's is done too but I guess I forgot to take a picture of it. Maybe tomorrow.

Mistake!!!!

Can you believe that when I was posting a picture of the 4 finished name quilts I'd made the day before, I that I noticed that one of the letters was backward! I can't believe it! I didn't think anything about it when I was sewing it or admiring it or even taking the picture. But I posted the thing and thought... "Something is strange. The "H" is backwards!!!!" And I'm supposed to be an English teacher. Now what...? I could leave it and say "Well, it is my mischievious nature coming out." But I'd for the rest of my life know that I goofed. I went back and forth in my mind "It doesn't have to be perfect. It's Ok. as it is." But in the end I took it out and resewed it. It only took my 15 minutes so it wasn't the disaster I thought it was going to be and I'm glad I noticed the blooper. I'll repost the mistake pictures (haven't taken new ones yet) but it has been repaired and once I get the things quilted I'll take an after picture.

Friends and Prayers

Well, my plan for yesterday was sidetracked by a visit to Narumi-san. That should be expected. We always talk a lot longer than I expect to. With Kamiyama-san there too of course the chatting time is tripled! I went to pray with them but ended up spending two hours chatting. Not necessarily bad... We discuss the problems of the world, our faith, Narumi-san's illness, friends and family that we want to come to know Jesus, etc. but as I say, it makes for a long time of fellowship. Narumi-san is expecting more tests, but her cancer has returned in her lymph glands. Some question about her ovaries too so our prayers were focused and emotional again.

I had given up on getting anything done on my projects, but decided I could put in at least 15 minutes (Yeah Flylady thinking!) Actually I must have sewed for nearly an hour and got the borders on Caleb's name quilt. I had quite a problem with deciding and making a fish for his block and I don't know if anyone else but me can see the fish, but it is there. None of these things are finished of course. I still have to figure out how they are going to be quilted. By hand? On machine? Anyway, today's goal is to "finish" Noah's and then I'll worry about quilting.

A few pictures

I've got cleaning and quilting to do but here I am again on the computer. Oh well, here are a couple of pictures I took yesterday of my latest Autumn Quilt and Lemi enjoying it. My quilts have more cat fur on them than batting in them! I also bought some "American" fabric today for Noah's name quilt though I could have bought it for less on the internet. Too lazy to wait for it to be sent I guess. That was what I had planned to work on today. Tomorrow?

Nothing getting done

Ok. I'm on the run so I can't put any pictures in today. I've invited Leiya to see my blog, so if you get here Leiya, welcome. I try to write about my progress on various projects every day. Yesterday I quilted for a few "minutes" but instead of sewing I went to the library and took them some of my old books. Today is a busy day again, so no project work?... Boo hoo...

Three things done!

Well, I had a profitable weekend thanks to the fact that Tetsu went out "playing" (pachinko). I spent Sunday afternoon up in my sewing room and worked on the name quilts. I finished Leiya's and Elijah's. I started over completely on Elijah's since the opinions of Kaoru-san and Shiozaki-san were that it was very Halloweeny. Ok. I got away from the Halloween colors, but I should have gone for darker lettering. I'm really having trouble choosing colors for these things. Well, it is done and not perfect but I've stopped striving for perfect. I also finished Tetsu's sweater! Yeah! One Christmas present out of the way!

Friends.

I'm behind a bit but here are a couple pictures of what I did Friday. Kaoru-san and Shiozaki-san came over and Kaoru-san pieced while Shiozaki-san machine pieced. I continued on my sweater. The last one is of Kaoru-san's Storm at Sea quilt. She was hoping for more of a "wave" effect but this is how it is turning out... I'm not sure if I'm responsible since I steered her to various fabrics. The colors though are pretty!

Looking forward to today

Nothing to tell anyone about. Knitting more. Working on ribbing. I hope to get things put together this weekend.
But today! I have friends coming over with their patchwork so I promise to get some pictures of that. I might even pull out my Autumn Blossom that is ready and waiting to be quilted. I'll ask opinions on those name quilts that are staring at me in my sewing room.

No decisions

What have I been doing recently? Yesterday, I spent more time on the sweater ribbing. The front and back is done so maybe I can do the sleeves today. I really can't see this sweater taking shape yet although all the pieces are there and just need to be put together. Nothing quilty but I need to clean the sewing room since Kaoru-san and Shiozaki-san are coming over to quilt for the day. I've got to think of something for the kids in America but if the quilt project is out then what am I going to do...

Frustrations

Dear me... I worked on another name quilt for one of the Dennis kids but I don't think I chose the colors very well. So far I'm not doing very well. One half done for Leiya that has no zing and I don't know what it is. One up on the board for Takumi that is in the same colors as Leiya's so I know where that is going but it won't be interesting. One for Elijah in orange which I thought was great until I combined with black lettering and that made it Halloween and they HATE Halloween. I tried to remedy that with a few random stripes of red but now you can hardly read the name and I realize I should have used a lighter color for the lettering. I don't have enough of either fabric for making a background so I'm stuck again. Do I really want to continue with the other boys' and then Keion's kids? I had such big plans but I've become bogged down and don't know if I should continue or give it up as an interesting learning experience....

One finished, one on the way.

Let's see. I played around during the day, but in the evening spent some time knitting. Here's a picture of the finished muffler.
After that project I worked on the ribbing for Tetsu's sweater. It doesn't look like much of anything yet. The back and the sleeves are knitted but I still need to put the ribbing on them. This is a raglan sweater (I think that's what it's called) so the front looks small. I think it supposed to have a strange block at the shouders extending from the sleeves.

Sunday afternoon

Well, got quite a lot done yesterday. Finished Leiya's muffler. It is definitely long! I think she'll like it.
Next project was the letters quilt which I didn't have any idea what I wanted to do anyway and though I got the words together to make "Leiya's place" it doesn't really do anything. Not really a placemat (about that size) could become a pillow I suppose...It needs more color but do I want to do anymore? I made up the words for "Takumi's place" too but that isn't in one piece yet. I practiced making wonky hearts which was a bit more difficult than I had expected but I suppose if I practiced a bit I might get it right. Do I want to continue this for the Dennis's and Kiana and Colin? Not sure... I think I'll work on Tetsu's sweater today.

Saturday afternoon

Spent the whole day knitting and doing patchwork! My kind of day! It was rainy and cold with a little thunder in lightning so I brought Choco in and she spent the whole day inside too. Worked all day on the muffler which is very nice. Decided it needed the extra length so I started on the second skeins. Guess I continue until I use up all my yarn.

Patchwork was a dilemma. Did I really want to go upstairs to the cold room and fiddle around on the sewing machine? I wanted to try making patchwork words with Tonya's tutorial but had no idea if I was just going to ruin perfectly good fabric. Actually it came out better than I expected though my color choice could have been better...
Now that I can do it, what do I want to say?

Scarf for Leiya

Had a successful day of knitting. First I went to Hamaya to check out Noro Kureyon yarn there. I decided that though I liked the yarn that I bought through internet, the colors didn't go together as well as I'd hoped and so I wanted a different colorscheme. Hamaya has the yarn so I checked out the colors and found some I liked. I bought 4 skeins again and though Hamaya's price is 100 yen more than the internet, with the shipping etc, the internet price came out more... Anyway, I bought the yarn and then tore out what I'd already knitted the night before. I was over at Ochiai-san's house yesterday and I knitted while we talked. Did some knitting after I got home and this is the result. Pretty nice huh? I'll probably need to knit two more skeins of this since I'm getting to the end of thr skeins and it's not long enough. I knitted in the "mistake ribbing" and widened the stitch count from 23 to 29. I hope Leiya will be pleased.

Knitting and Quilting

I'm in a hurry as usual so this will be short. We got Narumi-san's quilt tied yesterday with many prayers and a few tears. About 6 of us all together. There is a good reception to the idea or prayer quilts and Mrs. Kamiyama wants to make one for her mother too. When projects are out of my hands I wonder if they are really being prayed over and people are following the ministry's "guidelines" but it is in God's hands not mine and any type of prayer and thinking of the recipient can only be good so I'll stop wondering about it.

Yarn for Leiya's muffler came last night and I started knitting right away. It is beautiful but maybe not colorful enough. I may take it out and see if I can find a skein in a red color ot combine with what I have. I think I saw this brand at Hamaya though it is probably much more expensive. Ah well. Of course if I buy 4 more skeins to go with the 4 skeins I've already bought then this might become expensive...

Projects

Unbelieveable! Yestereday evening I didn't have anything to do! (In the way of handwork.) I finished sewing the batting for my Autumn Blossom; I put together the backing (which was a little too small so I had to add another panel (thank you Lord that I had used the same backing earlier this year on another quilt and had enough left over to piece for this quilt's backing). I didn't have the elastic thread for Tetsu's sweater ribbing (will buy that today) so I couldn't do more on the sweater, and the yarn I've ordered for Leiya's muffler hasn't come yet. So...... I started drawing piecing lines for another feathered star block though that is officially on hold since I have so many other things running through my head (and Furui-san hasn't even started hers.) Oh and the letters quilt I want to do with Tonya's (blogger) tutorial needs to be done on the sewing machine so I haven't started thinking about that yet.

Narumi-san's quilt

Finished Narumi's quilt and put the label on. Got it pre-tied too and even called everybody to have them gather at Narumi's house Wednesday after 2:00. We'll pray and tie it the best we can and ask anyone who can't come to pray and tie over the original ties. I don't think I should leave the quilt with all the safety pins in it! Anybody getting tired of seeing this pattern? This is the 4th quilt I've made with this pattern but it is great for a Prayer Quilt and I can do it fairly quickly . I think I'll continue in this vein a few more times before I branch out into other patterns.

Weekend goals

Yesterday's try at posting a picture flopped when the computer crashed. I don't know if I'll have any better luck today.

I spent yesterday evening marking lines on my Autumn Blossom Quilt. Moving along just fine there. I was on the floor in the living room right in front of the heater since I was cold but that was giving me a headache. I went to bed feeling tired. I should be having a good time, not wearing myself down! But anyway it is going to be a nice quilt. It should be ready for basting this Thursday. All I have to do is sew up the backing and the batting which may be a bigger job than I think it will be.

Tetsu's sweater is in pieces but I need to buy some elastic thread for the ribbing. The big news is that I ordered more yarn online. At least I think I did since I'm never quite sure what I'm doing when I'm online. Anyway, I pushed the buttons.

I will put the ties on the Prayer Quilt and then that one is ready too. (Oh, I forgot I need to make a card and sew on a label.) That needs to be ready by Wednesday and I think I can make that goal. If I get all my goals met then I may even try my hand at the Wonky Letters! Go me!

Projects

Yeah. I got the binding on the Prayer Quilt for Narumi-san. Now I need to put the ties on and then sew on the label. Still don't know if I'm going to take it to her house and have people come and pray for her there or take it to Kamiyama-san's house and do it there. Also have to call Narumi and ask what specific prayers she wants.
My next project is to get the quilt lines on my Autumn Blossom quilt. That will be basted on Thursday so I have a couple of days to do that but since Tetsu is home today and tomorrow I probably won't get to it until Monday afternoon.
Also got a request from Leiya to make her a scarf which of course I will love doing, so I need to check out yarn. Hamaya? Internet again? Have to think this one out.

Quilting

It seems like I'm always in a rush. I've got English in about half an hour. I have Bible study after that at church. THEN finally back to quilting. I did manage a few rows of knitting yesterday and a whole hour of progress on the Prayer Quilt. That one is my main job today. Tomorrow Tetsu has the day off so we'll be doing something and I think he said he had Saturday and Sunday off too so I probably won't get anything done on any of my projects.

In a Hurry

I've got to get off this computer and get myself made up into a witch for the Halloween party at the kindergarten. Baked close to 150 cookies last night (did not cook dinner) and I need to take those and my guitar and English things (oh no! I haven't made them yet!) and things Furui-san wanted. I'd better get going. My goals for November have been written down and I guess I'll have to strike the Quilt for an Hour project for this month. Maybe I can keep it aside for another month when I don't have other things to do (HA!)

In a Hurry
