A bit more progress on To Grandmother's House We Go

This will be a short post.  Still working away on getting back in order.  I did a "work in progress update" a couple of weeks ago on Aug 19/2025.  At the time this is where I was on the last panel to complete the blocks of the wall hanging.

From the above picture to the below picture, in a couple of evenings of chilling in front of the tv, watching a movie.  Note that the below picture shows my handwork that is not pressed, it's wrinkled, pinned and just draped over my lap.  I promise, it will look better when I finish it....lol.  When I do handwork, I don't use a hoop, so my hands easily wrinkle the fabrics, as I work.  

So as of now, I'm going to say that the tree is about 2/3 of the way complete.  From then to now does not seem like much, but it's a good amount of progress considering the time it takes to do handwork.

As for machine sewing.....well....that is going to have to wait, just a bit longer.  I have my sister coming on the weekend to help finish everything, so that I can call it done.  In the meantime, I still have a bit more painting to do.  Also, I am taking this time to revisit all the things I have in my space.  Going through the boxes, bins, shelves and cupboards.....oh my!  I am going to be at it a while yet!  

I'm doing what most people do in January to start the new year by reevaluating.  I have so many panels and left over blocks, that I can work into a quilt.  The problem is I don't remember them all.  So I am going to be making a list and resolving to get them done and out of here.  My New Years resolution, in September...lol.

Take care everyone.
