It looks so much more "substantial" with the doors on the rooms... and begins to really feel like a Castle! :) I will have plenty of years worth of projects to complete it! As for Daphne's story... I was not planning on making a Quilt.... but I was relieved that the machine works so well!!

(I am really bad at estimating..... I thought attaching the doors would be a quick task! LOL!) I have lots and lots of work to do... all the interior wall painting... windows... lighting.... and that's just the basics! I will be building for a while! LOL! Meanwhile, I will also be getting distracted by tiny projects like the quilt... which was a surprise to me! LOL! So stay tuned.... there's always more!Daydreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170115485686244907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-58985269091763545952018-10-05T19:04:02.440-04:002018-10-05T19:04:02.440-04:00Hi Mom!

I was not planning to make a quilt as part of this story... so you are witnessing what happens to me in my story telling... I get great ideas that take me somewhere unexpected.... and everything just takes longer! LOL! But the detours are half the fun! I am really enjoying the Castle with its new facade.... I am able to really envision it as a building... rather than the "shelf" it was being! LOL! I am so much more aware of how huge it is too!

Regarding these patches it will become one wonderful quilt for sure. And despite your wonderful storytelling you still had time for more stunning progress on the castle - my, this is one huge project, every time you're showing it in total I am even more impressed. And hooray and welcome to the newest member of the lilac family!!!

All those tasks may be small, but they're definitely important, and I admire your perseverance. It looks as though you're getting close to completing all those challenging details - and close to starting the fun stuff. (Except for the not-fun stairs!) It's good that you can re-direct your focus at times, and I'm happy that it's directed toward Daphne and Renee and their homemade patchwork quilt. What a lovely rainy-day project; I hope they make good progress. The twenty-fifth lilac blossom looks very much at home in the blossom box. It's filling up with amazing regularity; you have so much patience! Enjoy your visit to your family.<br />MarjorieMarjorie Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12104669798186181705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-55805039426743864592018-09-11T18:33:19.300-04:002018-09-11T18:33:19.300-04:00Blog spot is having trouble printing my comment - ...Blog spot is having trouble printing my comment - let's try again.<br />There sure is a lot of work to do on that castle!
