2026 OneThing#19 - Make Challenge Quilt Top (fail!)

I don't know why I struggled with this! The week was full of activity, but I really wanted to hunker down and do this. As it is, I'm blogging on Tuesday instead of Sunday. I guess I thought I'd still be able to get into my sewing room and make this happen.

 

I did iron fusible interfacing to some of my silky type fabrics . . . and I cut out a large square for each of my novelty / theme fabrics so I can fussy cut the 4 1/2" center of each star. But that was it.

 

Since I love to celebrate successes and share photos, here are two!

 

I had saved a LOT of toilet paper tubes to make little seedling planters . . . and once again, did not do any planting. I brought them to NPHS to give to the teacher who does an environmental studies class. I had subbed for her last spring and the students and I were folding newspaper to make planters. I hope she can make use of these! From now on, my cardboard tubes are heading straight to the recycle bin.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We had three old style camp chairs (wooden frame with canvas seat). I had planned to repair the two that needed it, but honestly just didn't want them. Long story short, a lovely person from St. Paul drove out to get them AND a bag of fabric scraps from RaDon, AND three chaise lounge chairs from our garage attic that I didn't even know we had! It felt so amazing to re-home all those things!
