Remembered

I remembered the third thing that I was to do.  Grandbaby wears cloth diapers and they are set in a cover known as the cloth diaper outer.  The waterproof part.  One of the leg elastics had stretched out and I was to replace it.  It is now done.

The broken stretched elastic that was found when I took the diaper apart.

The cover was taken apart at both ends.  I had to open it larger at one end versus the other in order to find the broken part.  

A new piece of elastic was placed in, the ends machine stitched and then I did a ladder stitch to close it back up.

Repair job not so bad.  Now on its way to Maine.  Shall see if it survives the washing machine.

Laurel Ridge progress: 120 HSTs were made, 1.5 inches unfinished.  When trimming them to proper size, there were only 119.  See the one at the bottom, off the cutting mat?  It went on an adventure.  It took me two days to find it.

My cave is cluttered at times (like almost always).  When looking for the HST, pick up needed to be done.  A piece of material had fallen to the floor at the base of the cutting table.

When it was picked up, what did I find?  The missing HST!  It has now been put with the others.  It is telling tall tales about its floor adventure.  I need to finish cutting a small bit of fabric and then do the block assembly.

Tuesday was a trip to Boston, and another two Blossie Basket set of parts were pieced.  One has been assembled.  

When we left for Boston at 0700, we had a skiff of snow on the back deck.  No snow as we traveled East down the Pike.  When we returned home, we had 3 inches of snow on the ground.  As we came up the hill on the Pike after crossing the Westfield River, we could see the snow bands in front of us.  It was fascinating watching the snow come.  When we exited the Pike 30 minutes later, we were in sunshine.  Winter is coming.  (I love the winter and snow)

Enjoy your threads today.  I am not yet sure what I will be working on.
