Improv Stripes

It seems to just grow on its own.  Will it ever end?  Somehow, every time I take a section down and piece it together, another gap appears that needs to be filled in.  Before the flood I would have had tons and tons of red scrappies to use, but now I have run out of red scraps and am now working on my yardages.  I'll show you the progression below.

I did not get to work on the Sawyer Dino quilt, but maybe tomorrow.   I had to get the Microsoft key for my computer so it would work again, and I had my torture session Physical Therapy.  I have a small surgery scheduled in the morning for my elbow.  We will see if I can use it enough.  It may be too sore.

At least it is not raining right now.  I had about  2 1/2 inches in my rain gauge by 9 pm tonight.

I cooked some Chicken Stroganoff Carrie and I put together for slow cooker freezer meals, man was it good!  Do you want the recipe?

I said, this is good.  Frank said, not good, exquisite!  It must have been good, he rarely says much more than good and I have to ask him.

I gave half of it to Dale and Barb for their dinner.  With two rolls; they love the rolls I get at Sam's.  They are still in the RV, but they are getting close to moving back in.  Like a month.  Their floors are done except for a slight miscalculation by the flooring guy, like their entire master bedroom.  And he does that for a living?

Let's see the progression of those scrappy Improv Stripes: 

these were the first two I made !














They were so addictive, I kept going.

Even after Frank went to bed, I got back up (because he was snoring at a thousand decibels) and kept on sewing.

It is coming together, but I knew it needed to be larger.

So I started into the yardage.  And the new fabrics I just ordered for a black and white quilt.........well, what's a girl to do?














And I kept having to fill in the holes.  When I did, they kept appearing somewhere else, wha?
















I couldn't get that long gaping strip filled in.  No matter what I did, it kept appearing somewhere else!

Still there, just further down now.  But at least there are big sections already sewn together and they can't be moved around too much more.



I really hope to have this monster finished by tomorrow.


Who knows, it may just have another incarnation yet!
