I haven’t put a lot of thought into this leader/ender project. I just grabbed this bin of 2 1/2 inch squares and some plain white squares.
Just pairing them up and stitching print squares to white squares.
Who knows where this will end up?
Have a great day
The blocks are all sewn together and it is time to decide on birders. I’ve had this bit in my stash for ages and haven’t found a good use for it.
I really love this stripe, but probably don’t have enough.
I think I need to frame it before adding that serpentine stripe.
Oh, yes! That’s the ticket!
Have a great day
Is this looking familiar?
If you said yes, you wouldn’t be wrong. I’m making a larger version of Summit Stitches.
I’m loving this one as much as the first.
Have a great day
I finally pulled this out again.
I decided to add a few bits while Mr. Wonderful watched football.
Maybe I’ll finish this before the decade is out…..or not.
Have a great day
Hmmmm…. There’s a thought…
A recent walk after the rain.
I love my grand dogs!
Sunsets are so pretty here.
Another puzzle.
This could work for me….
Have a great day
Finally! This quilt has been in the works forever.
And it isn’t even that big! Just about 54 inches square.
I can actually say that I’m happy with the binding on this one.
I stitched it to the front, pressed away from the body of the quilt, then used my clips to hold it in place. I sewed it from the front in the ditch.
I’m not crazy about the back, but it won’t show hanging on the wall and I didn’t have to go back and restitch anywhere.
It’s now hanging in my hallway.
Have a great day
We are still doing a bit of rock hounding, and I’ve had the tumbler going.
I have so much to learn. This is my latest batch. It’s a mixed bag. Some are pretty good. I had hoped that most would turn out better. But it’s still loads of fun. Most of these were picked up on our trip last summer.
And yes, the next batch has been started.
It is just so beautiful out in the desert.
The mister is a good sport about my hobbies.
Do you see what I see?
A sweet piece of chalcedony!
I was hoping to find fire agate, but came home with a bucket of this instead. Not valuable, but I love it.
Have a great day!
I’ve been perusing Pinterest for Christmas craft ideas. This one uses paper lunch bags.
I used cardboard to make a template.
I cut three bags at a time like this. I used a total of nine bags.
Excuse my sorry diagram here, the blue shows where I put hot glue to glue the bags together in a stack. after all nine are glued this way, put hot glue on the top bag and bring the first bag around to complete the circle..
This is what you get.
Clearly, my technique needs work. But it was fun.
Have a great day
I feel like I’ve been wandering around aimlessly lately. It’s been a tough few weeks around here. First losing my sweet boy and this past week, the loss of a beloved nephew. Other issues have added to the turmoil.
But God. In Him, we live and move and have our being. He is our ever present help in trouble. Our comforter and friend. He is always good.
So I’ve been pondering so many things and doing a bit of sewing here and there. The next step for the Quiltville mystery is done.
And I’ve finally loaded my Tree of Life quilt.
I also shortened the sleeves on a couple outfits for my grand dogs, Charlie and Slinky.
Doxies have very short legs, you know.
Have a great day.
Does this look familiar?
I decided I would add these to the four inch 4 patches I’ve been making as leaders/enders.
Have a great day
