Sunday's Stitches

Grannie's father always told her that every stitch she made on Sunday, she would have to rip them out on Monday....but that didn't keep her from stitching on Sunday.

When I got home from church Thanksgiving dinner, Sally was already stitching away on a purple scarf she was making someone as a Christmas gift.  I had the blue star in the machine so I decided to finish quilting it.

I ripped a few stitches out and then forced myself to finish it. 

Lesson learned:  colored thread is not always a good option when quilting.

Project completed and then thrown in the trash, labeled as the ugliest thing I've ever done....no picture will ever be available of that!

So, needing to create something I did like, I finished my Grandmother's Fan blocks.  It needs a border and then my hand quilting.  Just not ready to put this on the machine.  I like it too much.

Using up the rest of the thread from my button scarf, I made a long crocheted scarf with a simple V-stitch and  shell stitch.  I really like the colors on this one and it's so warm.  It will be on my Etsy shop

Sally and I both finished our scarves and then we both did some mending on blue jeans.  I hemed a couple of pairs for my brother and she mended rips in a pair for her brother.

So why are blue jeans referred to as a pair of jeans when there is only one?
