Chores, chores, chores
Oh, those pesky chores
Cleaning, sweeping, what should I do?
I would rather be in my quilting room!
A very lovely day to you , Sweetie Pies. Would you rather be in your sewing room today? I sure would, but alas, I do have a few odds and ends that I need to work on before I can enjoy my time with needle and thread.
I do have clothes to wash and hang on the line.
No ironing for me today . That's one chore I can X off the list. The clothes will be packed into my suitcase for our upcoming camping trip.
Oh , let me show you a quilt that I made a couple of years ago .
I created this quilt from the vintage Vogart 105 Little Susan Days of the Week . The designs were intended for tea towels . There are 7 designs but I used 4 of them.
I color tinted Little Susan and her furry friend using crayons and then embroidered each design. Afterwards, I heat set the crayons using my iron.

| 1 " strips frame the blocks. |
These designs are still available as freebies on Martha's blog called Q is for Quilter. Martha has a number of darling vintage embroidery designs available that she has redrawn.
If you would like to embroider Little Susan , just hop over Martha's for a visit. I am sure you will find yourself falling down a rabbit hole .

Eeeh! Let's Seize the Day!!!! I better get on the stick if I am going to enjoy playtime in the quilt room. Have an awesome day!
As Always...
Happy Stitching and Quilting, y'all
