RAINY MONDAY, et al

 

Here's proof that 
SPRING is here....;)))

***********************************
I've finished the quilting part of Block 3 
on Dark Days this morning...

Here is one of the five different
threads I've used.

And, you'll notice the little
needle threader that I cannot 
do without;))))

Below is what this block would look like
butted right next to #'s 1 & 2


Below is the other option of putting
some kind of sashing strip
between these:
I don't know right now which
I prefer....
Also
you will notice 
[you eagle-eyed sewists]
block 3's background (white) is about
an inch too short.  Whether 
I cut it short or the weaving
took it up I don't know;
but tomorrow I will sew
on another white backing piece
 to even out the length..

So, until this coming Wednesday,
when the next prompt is revealed,
i am done working on this one...

Hugs from the rain-soaked
house on the Hill

  2. I just bought a box of those needle threaders. Your piece is really coming together. I tried out log cabins but I got stuck on the wonky nature of the blocks so my first block sits waiting on my design wall.

  3. We're still a ways away from seeing flowers here - woke up to yet more snow this morning. At least we can console ourselves by knowing that it won't last.
    I rather like the sashing look but I wonder if using a different colour might be fun? Perhaps a gold? I suspect Wednesday's prompt might involve creating another piece. Of course I am ready to be proven wrong!

  4. Happy Monday, Julierose. It is so good to see your post on this fine Spring day. I hope you and your hubby are doing well. Block 3 looks amazing. Love the pretty variegated threads you used. Both layouts look fabulous. I look forward to seeing what you decide. Looking forward to seeing the next block. Have a wonderful week, sweet friend. Hugs.

  5. Lovely stitching. I've always wanted to try cloth weaving but with ribbons. I love that variegated thread you are using. I'm a fan of variegated threads of any kind.

  6. The project together is beautiful. I love that thread.

    You're very tolerant of the mystery / prompts, beautiful work.

  7. Beautiful stitching and I love the thread. I'm envious of your rain. I'd love a little, not too much. We are in severe drought in the mountains.

  9. I really like your monthly project. It is coming along nicely. Absolutely love the berry quilting. Glad Tom is doing well. Pretty yellow daffy popping it's head up for spring.
