we are over at Boronia at Eves place helping her son clear out the house, he has done a lot, but there is a huge lot still, to be done. There is a skip coming tomorrow so we have stopped for today as we are really just moving things from one spot to another. Tomorrow things will go out the door. Eve had huge collections of things but also alot of just in case stuff.
This is the room I have been working in, all the cabinets in the centre of the room and book shelves and boxes need to be gone.
Eves craft room, quite a lot has gone but there is a heap more to go. Chris is hoping to have the house on the market in two weeks! Big job for him. There is a man here now who is looking at taking some of Eves books there are over 2000 of them in various bookshelves. Eve loved her books, you can find books on any subject here.
I have spent the last few evenings filling the hexie box. The plan was to sew tonight but I am a bit tired now, I am not sure if the needle will see the light of day!
The hearts are going ok, I had to change the zig zag stitch size to a slightly larger one as I kept missing bits, I will have to go back and do some patch up hand sewing later.
Artfully arranged on my sewing machine, not!! 😁😁😁 I have another seven rows to attach, the bottom border needs to go on and it will be nearly done.
I am off to enjoy a G& T outside in the cool now.
Happy stitching.
Looks like you have enough to keep you occupied just now! Love those hexies and hearts. Stay well and safe, hope you enjoyed your G & T! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteA huge job for you all to get done.....
ReplyDeleteNice and tidy box of hexes and you’re slowing getting the hearts together .
Such hard, heart wrenching job-clearing out someone else's home. It's good of you to help.
ReplyDeleteThe hearts are coming along.
Two of my sisters recently moved my Mom from one senior facility to another, and it was an arduous task to sort through all of her stuff. Sometimes tough decisions! My, my, my - that's a lot of hexies!
ReplyDeleteThat room looks like an "Aladdin's cave". Your hearts are coming together beautifully. The zig zag stitching is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteGosh Sue - what a huge task ahead of you all. I can well imagine Eve's collections of things ... just her postcard collection alone must nearly fill a truck. I hope you get it sorted - you are so kind to help out her son. Your hearts are looking great Sue. xx
ReplyDeleteLovely sewing & a NiCe thing to do for your friend too.
ReplyDeleteI hope you EnJoYed your GiN too...xox
My sister in law lives in Boronia. They could be neighbours! It's a big job clearing out a house for sale. Hope today is a good day and you get lots achieved once the skip arrives.
ReplyDeleteWhat a huge task. I think you deserve a G & T in the cool. Your hearts are looking great.
ReplyDeleteAn enormous task....a lady with an interesting collection of items.....books....I can definitely understand! I find it very hard to part with books. I hope the rest of the process goes well. Hearts are looking good....I can understand why you were a tad weary x
ReplyDeletenot easy sorting through a friend's treasures.
ReplyDeletegreat stash of hexies and loving your hearts!
so lovely of you to help Chris... its such a big and daunting task.
ReplyDeleteyou have had a very hot day... so I hope the G & T went down well...
Hugz
Your heart quilt is looking so lovely. What a big job you are doing for Eve's son! You have a heart of gold. Please take some time to rest.
ReplyDeletesuch a big job to sort out someone elses stuff....goodluck.....
ReplyDeletethe hearts are coming along nicely - as is the blue & brown hexie project from earlier.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a lot to go to sort out the house...what a challenge.
I like the idea of sewing the hearts that wy. Love the blue & brown hexies.
ReplyDeleteit looks like a lot of work getting all that stuff sorted - you definitely deserved your G&T.
What a big job to tackle, and love your hexies too.
ReplyDeleteClearing one’s own house is difficult (it took me months before moving to Japan), but I would imagine it is much harder when it’s someone else's. You are so kind to help with this.
ReplyDeleteI love the box of hexies and the hearts.
It sounds like a big project, yet, it would be neat to be a part of seeing into someone's heart based on the things she collected.
ReplyDeleteI am sure that sewing these hearts together is a slow process but they will make an absolutely gorgeous quilt. G & T? Love the picture of the box with hexies.
ReplyDeleteSuch a big job for you all. I hope the rest of the sorting went well. It must have been quite emotional too. Chris would have been so grateful for the help you gave him. Your hearts quilt is looking great. A good supply of hexies for future enjoyment!
ReplyDeleteWow that is one huge job...so many wonderful things to be sorted. Can't take a chance on missing anything. Also enjoyed seeing your hexie collection. Progressing and I love to see how neat and tidy they look there all ready to go. I know...I always start too small with the zig zag stitch too! Happy stitching!
