Dark Days, block #3 for Comfort Cloth SAL at
K3n's YouTube channel is almost
all quilted now.....
[It sits beneath my "quilting pillow
that I made for my "hoop-less"
lap quilting...]
I used a simple running stitch and some little
"stick" stitches to hold the raw edges
in place.....
very relaxing way of working...
On the right (above) that very light pinky
cloth is another little added square;
And
below here, I
also added a few more
to break up the woven strips
a bit...
it will stand out from the rest of the piece:
This Wednesday the next suggestion will be given
Although, at this point, I cannot imagine
adding anything else??????
But we shall see....

Christmas Strawberries is also
close to being all quilted:

on the front border squares...

FYI:
I sat for 4 hours during DH's in-office
laser stent surgery
this past Friday and worked on Dark Days.
That kept me calm and passed the time along
with reading and doing some crossword
puzzles.
He did really well and is now able to
walk without any pain already!!
He has a 2-week follow-up and
hopefully all the results will be good...
Many thanks to all of you who sent
good thoughts and wishes...
Hugs, Julierose

It may look like spring outside, but the WNW wind is keeping us cold here...
ReplyDeleteI'm so pleased hubby's surgery went well. It must have been a long and stressful day for both of you.
ReplyDeleteI’m happy that the procedure went well and that you had your stitching to calm your spirits
ReplyDeleteYou're right, so cold today! You're getting so much quilting done. Good for you! I'm hoping your DH will be back to normal in no time!
ReplyDeleteThat worked out well to have a take along project ready to stitch. The added pinks look good in there.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear your hubby did well and hopefully he will continue to improve.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy seeing closeups of your Dark Days project. There are so many subtle colours in each of the patches.
The woven block with the Kantha stitching is lovely, so much visual interest and texture.
ReplyDeleteAnd Christmas Strawberries is darling. Your hand quilting always adds so much to your projects. Delightful!

PS Could today be possibly any more wintery---sooo dark, such heavy on going rain. But your daffy, in next post is so hopeful.
I''m very happy to hear Tom's procedure went well and he is walking pain free. Sending good vibes for continued improvement.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear that your husband's surgery went well and he feels better. That's a good sign!
