My cat Alex has inherited my wedding shawl. I caught him sleeping on it on my desk one night, and as I tried to take it from him, he gave me a “don’t even think about it” meow. He looks so cute with it, and I’m never going to wear it again so why not? He is so adorable with it.
The next thing is that I’ve been doing the clipping on four denim chenille quilts that I plan to list in an Etsy shop. The plan was to have quite a few of them, whatever is “enough” for an Etsy shop, and then take them all to a laundromat together. Once you finish the clipping, washing it once or twice produces the “chenille” fuzzy effect. There’s a truck stop we do inventory at every three months. They have a large laundromat attached, and kevin and I have used it before. The washers and dryers are super nice.
The thing is that I can’t seem to want to part with this particular rainbow quilt. I don’t think I want to sell this one. I’m actually sort of attached to it. So I’m just keeping it. The only person I’ll consider giving it to is my daughter, but only for her dorm or my house- not her dad’s house. This quilt is just meaningful to me for some reason. I love how I put something with each color that sort of represents that color. The red row has roses, the orange row has little round sun-like designs, the yellow row has sunflowers, the green row has leaves, the blue row has water, and the purple row has lilacs. Idk I just love it and can’t part.
The design started when I completed the red and orange rows. The fabric with the roses was a 50% off remnant from Joann’s. The orange fabric with the designs that are sunlike are from a skirt I got on 25 cent day. I remember doing the orange and red rows and thinking,
Hmm now the other colors can’t really be too plain. I have to buy fabric that has a design for each row to kind of keep this going. It was complicated, but I did it.
