I made a quilted furnace thermometer (???)

Leslie & The Furbabies in MO. · 2007-02-11T02:39:27+00:00

It all started late Thursday afternoon. The NSDH (Not So Dear Hubby-you'll understand why shortly... VBG) said the president of ourchurch congregation emailed that she needed the "thermometer" bySunday morning. Huh? Then he said he forgot to ask Kim (his DD) tomake a "furnace thermometer" for our church. HUH??? Now, Kim is agreat gal and has many talents, but I don't think she does furnacerepairs! (Our church's furnace is very old and has been on it's lastlegs for several years. Hubby and another gentleman are constantlymaking repairs to keep it limping along- and parts for it are gettingharder to find.)It was like pulling hen's teeth, but I finally got the whole storyfrom him... he had volunteered his DD to make a "thermometer" to markthe monetary contributions the church receives towards the cost ofreplacing our decrepit ol' furnace. Kim works full time plus a lot ofovertime, has a 3 y.o. son and a DH... I'm sure she would notapprciate being asked to produce this thermometer on such short noticeon one of her very busy weekends. So.... I "volunteered" to makeit..... Since my medium of choice is fabric and thread over posterboard and markers, I told that NSDH of mine that I would quilt a"furnace thermometer" for our church. I work all day on Saturdays,which means I had only Thursday evening and Friday to design and makethis "thermometer"--- hence the Not-So-Dear part.So, I have made a "Quilted Furnace Thermometer"! Here's proof- LOL!(It's a simple quickie wallhanging using Heat & Bond Ultra and onlythe background area is quilted.) (VERY tired! And The Hunky Mr. Collins is now *out* of thedoghouse) & The Furbabies in MO.
