A Day of Quilting

"What ya' want to do today?" asked Mr. Pinker. 

"I want to spend the whole day sewing," I said with a sigh as I slumped on the couch. 

                              

"Well get up and get going,"  said Mr. Pinker  with a grin. "What's stopping you? "

"Aaaah, I sure do wish my sewing room was cleaned up. I am a Messy Missy in my quilt room." 

"I know, I know, " said Mr. Pinker as he shook his head. 

"I sure could us a big strong man to help me clean it. "I said with a sly grin.  Hee ! Hee! 

Mr. Pinker stared  intently at the TV. I could clearly see he was pretending he did not hear that statement.  😳😀📺

           

"Alrighty,"   I said as I jumped from the couch. "Off I go." And with that I hip hopped to the quilt room in search for fabrics for a little quilt. 

"Hmmm  what color fabrics should I use ?" I  said, as I rummaged through piles upon piles of fabric and scraps. "Eureka I found it ! "I shouted as I spotted a stack of country fabrics. 

Fabrics waiting to be cut. 

"What dear ?" asked Mr. Pinker as he sat in the living room.

More country fabrics. 

 Hmmm  he heard me.

 "  Aaww ,  I found a broom, dear.  Do you want to come help me clean? "I asked jokingly.  Hee! Hee ( Can you see the devil in me?😀😜😂) 

All I heard was crickets in response. 

                                                   

Oh well, who wants to clean when I can play with fabric. The cleaning detail will have to wait until I get a better plan on how to lure him into the quilt room. Hee! Hee!  

                                 

With a swish and a swoosh, soon my rotary cutter was cutting away on red and neutral fabrics. 

1 1/2" squares cut. 

And then with a  "Hum Ho Hum" the sewing machine began to sing as I pieced little friendly stars. 

Wee  half square triangles. 

Soon Mr. Pinker peeked ever so quietly around the corner of the doorway. 

Wonky stars and four patches

"Whatcha doing, dear? Cleaning?"  asked Mr. Pinker

"Nope that train has left the station. I am working on 

 a darling freebie from Bunny Hill Designs called A Merry  Little Christmas,"  I said as I concentrated on getting the perfect 1/4' seams.  ( That rarely happens. ) 

"That's going to be cute, "Mr. Pinker said . "You need any help? 

This time he heard crickets.  "Chirp Chirp! "

 I stared at my sewing machine like I didn't hear him. Hee Hee! 

Then I said , "No, I will get you to help the next go around." 

The background is pieced. 

 Lol. Mr. Pinker has never operated a sewing machine in his life. Hmmm , on 2nd thought , I could have got him to press the quilt squares though.  

Oh Darn it - a missed opportunity! 😝😅

Anywhoo, I got a day of working  quietly in the quilt room. Then Mr. Pinker and I went out to eat.  I say it was a good day for us both. 

I will needle turn applique my pieces. 

No, the quilt room did not get tidied, but there is always tomorrow unless I find a squirrel to chase. 

TO DO LIST

1. Finish appliqueing A Merry Little Christmas

2. Quilt on Scrapberries

3. Work on a cross stitch project or 2. 

So tell me are you enjoying any time in your sewing / craft room?  

Thank you for stopping by to visit me today. 

Oh by the way , I  really did find a broom if you want to help me tidy. Any takers? Hee Hee!  

Have an awesome day, Sweeties.

As always,

Happy Stitching and Quilting, y'all
