RACE CANCELLED, et al

RACE CANCELLED 

instead:

One table runner

and

⇊⇊⇊⇊

Six placemats

My Race quilt came out wide at the top and

narrow at the bottom and the strips

were all bowed--

as you can see on the runner to be above!

Even though...

I was super careful not to STRETCH

the strips; it turned out to be 

a disaster anyway!!

I will make the above instead...

And so it goes...

*************************

Here is the Fabric Journal challenge for

this month:

A fabric envelope

with a little fabric card

for Christmas.

I used teeny scraps to outline

the envelope and

an old button with a piece of

Sari Silk for a tie...

[click to read the greeting]

I really enjoyed making these...

So, I am done for this month--

as the next 2 prompts were

so similar to others that I

didn't want to do them...

Here is the envelope's

lining:

(my book, my choice, right?)

They were Christmas Scene

and Winter Scene.  

Been there, done that...

****************************

The 2nd Honey Bun and Christmas

Scraps I have on hand are going

to be my "Christmas Web".

No more Race quilts with pre-cuts

for me!!

😒😖

Here is the start

AND

here is how far I've gotten as

of today:

The first web done

↧↧↧↧

I wasn't quite sure if I'd like

that old fashioned button fabric for

the kite shapes, 

but I do like it with all

the Christmas fabrics...

Such a fun block to make up...

[I am using Missouri Star's Spider Web 

papers to sew on..].

I am loving the strip and scrap 

piecing...

and

Sometimes piecing 

small bits together

to make long enough ones..

**********************

I've put on my Nurse's cap as Tom is

has been under the weather with a

bad tight cough and tight chest.

MD put him on anti0biotics, so we

hope they will clear him up...

Um, not really--😁
