This is another plant that M brought me a couple of years ago. He wasn't sure of the name, but, said it was very drought tolerant once established. One of my blog friends, Bushlady, helped to identify it after I posted a picture of it on the blog. It has been growing quite well in my garden, in full sun.

Saturday was another windy day. I was bothered by sciatica pains in my right leg all day, so I didn't do much. Standing and walking hurt; sitting with my legs elevated was better, so, that's what I did!
I added a few more patches to the Log Cabin quilt, replacing a few more of the shirt fabric pieces that looked like they were worn out enough to tear. I think I have replaced about 90% of the shirt fabric pieces.
Well, it is March 2026, now and at least 5 triangels have developed tears and need replacing. So, I cut 6 triangles from my scrap fabric stash and started to sew them over the torn triangles.
Then, I sorted through my scrap fabric stash (the smaller pieces) and the contends of the basket with mending projects and condensed the contents of the two baskets into one.
Then, I took out another quilt to mend! It is a quilt I had sewn in 1980 and mended previously, in 2015 and 2022 although I didn't finish repairing it until 2023, by which time I had replaced over 40% of the triangles!

| Triangles Quilt - April 2023 |
Well, it is March 2026, now and at least 5 triangels have developed tears and need replacing. So, I cut 6 triangles from my scrap fabric stash and started to sew them over the torn triangles.
Brunch had been patties, reheated in the air fryer. For dinner, I finished the stringhoppers, chicken curry, and the coconut milk gravy (called kiri hodhi) the boiled egg came in. Daughter decided to have the leftover pizza for her dinner.
After dinner, I ran the dishwasher and chatted with friend R. I also called friend S and left her a message offering her lemons if she wanted any.
On Saturday, I was grateful for:
- Tylenol for the sciatica pains
- Heating pads
- A lovely, sunny day
- Working appliances
- Leftovers and treats
Saturday's joyful activities included mended my quilts.
Plans for Sunday include continuing to mend my triangles quilt and catching up on blogs!
How is your weekend coming along?
Good for you for your continued efforts in mending the quilts. I probably would have just cut around the torn parts and made pillow shams or something similar. But I may be more impatient than you. 😀
ReplyDeleteThank you, June. I didn't think of cutting up the quilts to make something else, probably because the torn pieces are sort of distributed all over the quilts. They probably just need to be disposed of, but, we still use them and I guess I'll continue to repair them for as long as I can. :)
DeleteI live your triangle quilt! I hope your sciatica eases
ReplyDeleteThank you, Angela. :)
