I added two more blocks to Soul Searching yesterday and got the top webbed together I'm thinking of a black border. I also need to get a quilt ready to take to our teacher who is out with Covid. It is nice to have a stash of finished quilts ready for emergencies. OK, so maybe I have more than a few quilts ready and waiting. Hopefully I won't need them all before everything settles down.
We had a new window installed in the upstairs bathroom and spent the morning painting the stucco. A new tub and shower enclosure are next on the list. Everything is still working, but it is a bit torn apart right now. We are still tile shopping but I have a tub picked out. I liked one with a swoop on one side because that seems like it would be a nice place to rest your head while soaking. With the new window we have ocean views on two sides, so staring at the ocean seems like a nice idea.
Kurt picked a square tub, but it doesn't seem like it would be as comfortable to me. He also found some Japanese soaking tubs that have built in chairs, but that might be a little too strange. I'd have to try one out first I think. I don't think that bathtubs work like mattresses when you go and lay on them.
the square tub doesn't look comfortable - no place to rest your head and it would be uncomfortable on your back I would think. Love the quilt
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt. Looks like a lot of little strips to sew together. Did you paper piece it?
ReplyDeleteYour Soul Searching blocks make such a neat design - so colorful and scrappy! Those are such interesting tubs, too - very modern. I agree, that curvy one looks more comfortable!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting your Soul Searching quilt top put together, Angela! More bathroom renovations? Good luck agreeing on a tub!
ReplyDeleteThe squared tubs are so uncomfortable and hard to clean the corners. Seems to me to be more for kids and showers. A good soaking tub is the best after a busy day. I love mine.
ReplyDeleteLove your Soul Searching blocks. Is the pattern listed anywhere on your site?
ReplyDeleteThose tubs both look like you could spend a long bubbly relaxing soak in them.
ReplyDeleteLove the Soul Searching blocks Angela. Great way to use up those scrappy strings. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteI like the tub you picked! I am always challenged with trying to soak in the tub but not being able to rest my head in a way that my back doesn’t hurt.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you have time to post again. I miss your in between Saturday musings.
I love your Soul Searching blocks and flimsy. Beautiful! And the tub you picked out is much more appealing (to me) than a square tub. how nice that you’re creating a bathroom sanctuary!
ReplyDeleteHubby house hunted for our current home. He'd get in the master bathtub each time to make sure it was big enough to soak in, and also comfy, since I love to soak in the bath. Tub shopping is like testing a mattress.
ReplyDeleteLovely soul searching blocks. I'd go for the rounded bath; the squared one looks way to uncomfortable.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, the idea of having a store full of bathtubs that you go and lie in (fully clothed) is cracking me up!!! Though honestly, that's a good idea. I hope you find one that is comfortable.
ReplyDeleteThe rounded tub looks VERY COMFY! Glad you're able to get some beach walks in still even if only on weekends. I think relaxing, calming walks have always been a necessary thing for people. Seems we've never done that enough. Your Soul Searching project is beautiful and I love the idea of finishing it off with a black border.
ReplyDeleteSoul Searching is coming together nicely!
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt!
