Pumping Glue…

Yesterday we hiked early in the day so I had the whole afternoon uninterrupted!!  I got SEW much done…

Finished prepping Snowy Days!  {:Insert a happy dance here!!:}  This is the messy part…DONE!!

Here’s block number four…my personal favourite!P1200830

Block Five..without eyes.

P1200831

Ooops forgot to take a picture of block SIX…I must have been too busy doing my Ellen Dance!

P1200834 

Then I auditioned threads…I am going with ALL wool threads this time and I had all the colours!!  I’m on a roll!P1200837 

And then everything went into my travelling tote…including needles and scissors!

P1200840

Before I cleaned up the mess and put away the wool, I thought I had better deal with these guys…YUP, I had to figure out how to finish off ‘Homemade Friends’…  P1200791

I ended up cutting out tongues and two sizes of blue penny circles…snowflakes will be embroidered inside at a later date!

P1200843

TAH-DAH!  Much more complete…don’t you think?!

P1200841

So now both projects are waiting in totes…yup..waiting to barrel down that ol’Freeway heading for warmer places..for the feel of desert sand between those snow-toes!

BUT before I leave this morning, I have got to SING the praise of this stuff…Roxanne’s Glue!!  LOVE THIS GLUE!!  This year I bought the pump action bottle and I have to say…it worked perfectly!!  If it clogged, I just stuck a pin down the shaft and it worked immediately!  This was not the case with the other plain bottle with the long needle tip!  I could NEVER unclog it so I would use a tooth pick or a wooden skewer to dab the glue on.  I loved the glue so I was willing to put up with a faulty bottle…well no more!!  This pump action has taken care of all that!!

P1200844

Now when my gym fiend-friend is talking about lifting weights...yada yada yada…I can interrupt and say “Yes, I pumped glue all afternoon…in rapid succession…with NO problems..yada yada yada!”  Hey, it works for me!! :o))

Have a wicked Wednesday and Happy Quilting!~P

  1. Two beautiful projects, can't wait to see them in "person". So you glue the pieces down on the background?

    Thanks for any info,

  7. Great job prepping those pieces for your trip. Unfortunately I'm the driver inmost trips and can only stitch in the rooms at night.

    Lovely job adapting the table runner, the different sized circles on the tongues is a great idea.

  8. I have not tried the pump action bottle of Roxanne's. I hate those long metal tips. Never worked for me except the first time I would use the bottle. I did the toothpick thing too to dab the glue. I have heard that the small size bottles with a regular plastic tip of Roxanne's does not clog. I have not purchased a small bottle yet.
