A Quick Note

 Just a quick check in to let you know our cats are as mischievous as ever.  Make yourself at home, Stella.

I finally got my act together and pieced together the fish quilt top from last year's do.Good Stitches.  Later is better than never.  It was fun randomly deciding placement and background shades of blue.

Piecing Things Together Late

I completed my July and August do.Good Stitches blocks...in September.  The struggle is real.  I don't get any sewing done during the summer and then life got super busy in a different way as soon as school was back in session.  My kiddos are living their best life and I'm their ride.  

The first block a very large 16.5". It needed to be blues and greens in the 9 patches and gray for the background.

The 2 August blocks were any combination of the primary colors with one half solid and the other half parented.  Gratefully, both blocks came together quickly. 

Finally!

 The crew showed up on Monday to work on the cabinets, but they didn't have enough time reserved.  They thought they were only fixing one of the doors, so they went through the things that still needed to be done and then left.  I was bummed.  Yet another delay...

Gratefully, they came back later that week and finished the cabinets.  It's a Christmas miracle in September!  It took almost 11 months, but the cabinets are finally done in our kitchen.  Sadly, they left quite a bit of stuff in the garage, so it's still not usable.  I have to try to get a hold of the company to come get all the stuff.  Hopefully that won't take another 11 months.  I'm tempted just to rent a dumpster and get rid of it myself.

Here's the before and after:

It's a major improvement from the 90s built-in desk.
