ONE UFO DOWN, et al

 

My Autumn Ojos is finally

finished;))))

That little piece on the right

is what was left of my binding...

This was a leftover 

binding strip from

an older project...

Phew--

I just made it

👌👏

Below is the reverse basket fabric side...

I have had this print for ages...

happy I found a home for it as

I have been "petting" it for

a long time...;)))

I am happy with how the 

Criss-Cross hand quilting shows up

here...and that dark

binding picks up the deep

purple/maroon on the

baskets...

 ********************

I am trying to finish up all my 

UFO's--

one by one. 

Each day when I

enter my room I go to

where they are hanging 

on the side of my fabric closet

and

pick the one 

nearest the finish line

to work on next.

[Ojos just needed binding--

why did I take so long to finish it?]

 ****************************

I sewed light blue strips

on all my crumb blocks:

I want to make this a 

Chinese Coin type

of strippy so I

am in the process of 

choosing fabric to separate

all the strips...

Here are two choices I will 

be looking at....I am not

really thrilled with anything

I have put up as yet....

So this is marinating...

Stay Tuned...

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

I want an embroidery project to go along

with my machine sewing to work on

in the evenings in 2023

Here is the one I have chosen:

Isn't it just the cutest thing?

(finished picture from site listed below)

I found it strolling through

Etsy at:

"charlottelyons" shop;

I had made a birth picture

for each of my grandgirls using

her pre-printed embroideries and

they were really fun to make...

I had a little Christmas $$$

leftover and I bought this:

Here is what the pre-printed 

cloth looks like...nice and clear.

I will be excited to get this in the mail

and choose my threads....

In our former home I had a really

big garden and I thought 

this would be a fun 

memory piece for me

to work on as I can no

longer garden...

I hope you are enjoying this brief week 

between holidays ..

Oh....

and....

I also was

able to put all my Christmas 

fabrics away; and we have taken

our decorations down for the year...
