MAY MAKING

            
                        "Merry Month of May"  for the Cinco de Mayo...
                     dark corners for a change....I thought that
                       fabric looked like a Mexican tile....

***************************************
And here is:
My small dresden for May RSC: 

                     Ready to be layered up and pinned....

***************************************
   And for a change of pace from hand quilting dresdens...⇊⇊
         I took out my wool applique from a few months ago....
                    all prepped and ready to be stitched...

I just love that bird and the pumpkins....;)))
and have grown to even like that Prim cusp of moon....

I will be using Presencia "Finca" # 8 threads

Now................
I have to decide whether I just want to do black button hole 
around all the pieces or if I would rather
match up the threads to the pieces....I'll have
to stare at it for a while to decide;)))) 
****************************************

I hope you were able to do some "fun" sewing today;)))

  1. Love what you have... the May block! The dresden plate...
    and the wool applique! I'd probably do some in one color and match some of the other pieces. I like when you see the threads sometimes!!

  6. I’m in the heart of Cinco de Mayo down here in S. Texas, but it certainly wasn’t the same this year. You have many lovely projects going to keep your hands busy and your mind at rest. Be safe and stay well!
