Anyhoo.....
I have 18 more little blocks to go [on what I am naming "Campfire Songs"]; for my son, who plays guitar ...and goes on a wilderness campout every Summer with his friends, and likes neutral colors.
Hopefully, he will like this lap quilt...
rail blocks as a border around it...for the reverse side....that way we keep the
guitars whole.......
That's the plan for now--we'll see--
stay tuned....
*********************************
And on the home front:
We are presently awaiting the arrival of our chimney guy to give us an estimate for a new "crown" and to seal our leaking chimney...with heavy rains predicted tonight through Saturday we were hoping that they could do some work today...as it is now 10:30, I doubt it SOooooo
Out comes the pan for the leaks....AGAIN...I do so wish that workmen would come when they say they will...
And so it goes....;~ *((((
hugs to you all
Stay safe and warm all of you in this stormy weather's path...

This is great. He will love it.
ReplyDeleteGreat plan for guitars - fun colors.
ReplyDeleteI'm quite sure you son will love that quilt! I hear you re 'workers' and schedules. Storm heading our way too, 5-10 inches of heavy wet snow and winds. I guess March is coming in like a lion. Stay safe!
ReplyDeleteIt was leaking around our chimney too...soaked the hall carpet but good! We got a new, big chimney cap, and sealed up...it is better! Best of luck to you!
ReplyDeleteI think the quilt will be wonderful. I agree - it is hard to get good workers.
ReplyDeleteI love your Campfire Songs quilt! Your son will treasure it! I hate calling workmen and having to wait around all day for them. Hope the storm isn't as bad as they're saying.
ReplyDeleteThat does look like a guy quilt. He will love it.
ReplyDeleteWe are having slow snow melting here today, tonight and the rest of the week will be snow falling... again. I hope your storm misses you, goes to the north, passes you by. Stay dry.
Hugs
Wish we lived closer. We could sew the storm away. I'm worried about trees falling. And flooding where I am. Stay safe and dry my friend
ReplyDeleteI love the string blocks and this fits your son's passion perfectly, appropriately named.
ReplyDeleteWe have the worst luck with any kind of contractor. I guess people just don't need the work these days????
Hugs sweetie , hope you don't have flooding!
ReplyDeletewhat a clever idea and great colors! Your new peepers are helping you aren't they?
ReplyDeletenot that you needed help picking colors, just my way of asking about your eyes!
ReplyDeleteYour son is a lucky boy!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and I am sure your son will love it. Stay warm and hope the pan catches all the leaks.
ReplyDeleteGosh there is a heck of a difference between the two photos! Lucky that you have the guitar fabric on hand and good luck with the fixing of the leaking chimney - and keep safe with a storm coming.
ReplyDeleteI love those neutral colours and the signature fabric is great! I hope you get your leaky chimney sorted soon.
ReplyDeleteYour Campfire Songs quilt plans sound like fun! Stay safe and warm - hoping Spring is right around the corner now!
ReplyDeleteI like the neutral strings and think they will make a great 'man quilt'. I also very much like your plan for the back; it would have been a shame to cut those guitars up. I hope your chimney is soon fixed and you stay dry!
ReplyDeleteI love the string sportionof the quilt - and the guitar portion too. In fact, I think something similar may be a project on the horizon for my gray and other neutral strings. Regarding the post you deleted about your arm/shoulder/neck hurting - I deal with that too. First visit your doctor to see if you have TOS - Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. In a nutshell, the opening in the collarbone through which the nerves and muscles travel is smallish, so when you over-exert you get swelling and pain. They can give you exercises to help. I know because I’ve been there/done that. Secondly, if you can take Ibuprofen, do! And add an extra-strength Tylenol with it because acetaminophen amplifies the affects of Ibuprofen (and it is not at all harmful). Then, just pace yourself. I had to stop cutting strings yesterday (just moved on to a different activity) to avoid the same thing you had. I’ve learned the hard way. Good luck! xo

ReplyDeleteGoodness Julierose, the weather sounds just terrible... I hope your chimney & roof leaks can be fixed soon!
