OLYMPIC CURLING PROGRESS, et al

 

I will be working on sewing
these blocks together;
I have decided no sashing, 
just
block to block.

***************************
Also this week,
I tried improving a 6.5"
Maple Leaf block using
leftover mini charms and 
leftover chunks....
↧↧↧↧

This leaf must be ready to 
fall off the tree (ya think?)as one
of its leaves has been eaten
away by: maybe....
A squirrel??
πŸ‘€πŸ˜…
And I see that the stem 
has been also gnawed on..
(πŸ‘ΎπŸ‘Ύ)

I used this chart:
Which I found helpful...

[But, uhhh, somehow still messed it up]

I am planning on making more 
6.5" or 12.5" blocks
while
trying to work through some of
my piecing issues...so I am
not going to "correct" this
block but rather leave it to show
where I am right now...

******************************************
I found this old watercolor painting
that I made a few years ago...
"My Dancing Piano"

I had such fun working on
this one, despite my meager
drawing abilities...

I am generally feeling better
this week; so I am trying to
get in a short walk a couple
times a day...

Yesterday, I got quite a long
workout at my 
πŸ‘€ doctor's office which
is quite spread out!!

That's where I am 
this week...

Hugs, on this sunny day

  2. I think you're right to leave off sashing - it looks good the way it is.
    The maple leaf made me smile and made me think of the old adage that only God makes things that are perfect.

  3. What a great color for a maple leaf. Yes, the color makes it look like it's ready to fall and that little small section is already starting to dry up. So cute. I recently finished quilting a small maple leaf wall hanging. I don't think I showed it on my blog yet. Your watercolor is fascinating. So much movement - dancing along to the music being played.

  4. Love your piano! I've had to make over a few of my blocks. I think I don't always pay attention! I do just leave them sometimes. I feel it adds variety! So glad you're doing better!

  8. Curling is looking fabulous. The maple leaf reminds me of the leaves hanging on til the end of winter, they just die on the tree, but are these gorgeous rich browns. Cute piano painting. You are so talented.
