This can be a 100% cotton thread that could be a 40wt three ply thread so it is a thicker thread than some. Other details about this sample – stitched utilizing my Bernina 730 and utilizing my BSR, the batting is cotton but I don’t know which brand as it was again just a scrap and the stitch size I used was the default stitch length despite the fact that the thread was thicker. I used a size 14/ninety topstitch needle in my machine to accommodate the heavier thread. This whole sample is stitched with this thread except the background quilting on the bottom triangle which is stitched with Dual Duty cotton coated polyester machine embroidery thread. My sewing machine was off limits to me for a few days as our granddaughters have been right here and they have been busy doing their 4-H sewing. It was so nice this 12 months in that they lastly actually “get it” and could stitch on their own after checking with me to be sure they had been doing it right.
There were 660 quilts entered this 12 months so tons and plenty of quilts to see and study. It’s enjoyable to look through the special contests and enter the quilts to try to win some of the good prize moneys supplied. I also am waiting to read what the judge needed to say about my quilts. Enough farm discuss for now but suffice it to say we are strolling around with huge smiles on our faces immediately. So walking isn’t a great mode of transportation. The outdated corrugated steel siding was placed on the barn when it was in-built 1967 so lasted a very long time before it needed to be changed. My father in law always had the speculation that if a bit of something was good quite a bit was better and that adopted by means of with the nailing up of the siding in 1967. The nails are about 6” apart and the rows are 8”-10” apart.The variety of nails just isn’t the only downside… Tomorrow is our town celebration so hope it is cooler (ninety four degrees F at present.) I plan to go to the garage gross sales in the morning, lunch served at noon on the tractor pull, barbeque within the evening adopted by a parade and fireworks.
Wednesday my oldest granddaughter S. was finishing up sewing and it was already 7 pm when she observed the thermometer and let me know it was nonetheless 104 degrees F. We were glad we had been inside and not out in that heat. Unfortunately, the spring inside doesn’t work so I am unable to use the foot pedal to open it but it still does the job after 6 years of use and 3 infants.

It’s deeper than it seems to be within the bullet image above, however because it is a pearly one, the light bounces off and makes it look paler than it is. Lots of labor but the barn is getting a facelift that may make it appear like new and won’t have leaks from the roof, and so forth. I ponder if the horses and cows will notice? I had to look back in my older photographs to find a number of the barn so these pictures have been taken in 2004 and 2006. Don’t know why I didn’t consider taking photographs earlier than the siding crew began ripping the outdated stuff off.
The barn on our place looked like this till final week. That is a spot to study what I did right and issues I need to enhance. It too gained a ribbon – a third place ribbon this time. Rest Time is the remaining interval between units. John came along too so after my white glove shift we walked across the truthful for a while. Several buddies and that i volunteered to white glove from 9 am to 1 pm yesterday in the quilt division. I used to be astonished that I had not figured out that the bag front and the outsides of the flap were the same black and white print. Be sure that your lining is similar size as your exterior.
