I Like Thursdays Jun 25

Greetings!

I’m trying again on the new Blogger so bear with me.

We are melting here but are not sick with the virus so life is ok.

Here’s a list of my “likes” for this week:

1. Two-yes two - double yolks when I was baking:

,

Pretty cool.

2.  My sausage and tomatoes  quiche.

I love making quiches. Eggs,  cheese, veggies. So easy.

3.  House Hunter’s -Comedians on theCouch-  on HGTV.  The comedians say what we’ve been thinking all these years while buyers go thru the homes.  We think they are funny shows.

4.  My current read

I really enjoy this author’s books.  This one is kinda crazy with a British sense of humor.  A view into a young woman’s life with roommates living in London in the 90’s. 

At this point in the blog, I had to switch to the old blogger.  Here’s what I experienced : I wrote the above portion with copied photos from my albums, on one day and saved it.  The next day, the photos were replaced with an empty square that said “image”.   I tried all I could to fix it (and wasted a lot of time).  I had to revert to the old Blogger in order to insert my photos again just using the box in the toolbar above and going to my photos.

 Does anyone know how to insert photos on the new Blogger?  I clicked on the box with a mountain in it on the tool bar but nothing happened. This is frustrating.

5.  Starting a quilt.  I wanted to use up stash-it’s really been bothering me that there’s so much fabric here not being used.  So, I went to the first container and pulled out an 11 fat quarters bundle from 2014 via Cotton and Steele. It’s Tokyo Train Ride by Sarah Watts.  It was not what I expected when it arrived and so it just sat all these years.  It kinda ruined me for buying bundles especially now on a limited budget.  I cut (42) 8 inch squares and stitched them together .

I sewed the left overs down the middle of the backing so there wasn’t any waste.  Here’s a close up

of some of the blocks:

As you can see some of the prints are crooked.  Plus , I don’t understand why it has cats and dogs prints.   The quality of the fabric was outstanding but not the designs.  I will make it a summer quilt with no filler.  It’s about 48 x 58.  So I did use up some stash and so far about 5 hours of my time.  It will be a charity quilt.

Time to sign off but I hope you join us at Lee Anna’s site:Not Afraid of Color. For more “likes”.

Have a fun day and stay safe.
