Here is my first fabric pull for my 2025
statement project:
"Dark Days"
Maybe the dark roses for
the upper section↧↧↧
and
for the lower half...↥↥↥↥
I may be making some improv
shapes for the surrounds...
I no longer have any of the
fabrics I used to make the
pomegranates..
And,
seeing that I am just going
to use what I have on hand
these are my first choices...
It will reflect my own feelings
going forward (?) into
2025....
******************************
On a lighter note I am happy to
report that I was able to
👏👀FINISH👌👀
the embroidery x-stitching
bordering my little redwork
yearly calendar piece
from my Kathy Schmitz kit!!
Such an adorable piece...
I do love her drawings...
SO HAPPY
😀😁😂😃😄
I switched out to my own darker
red/maroon-ey thread after the
first 3 top blocks...
Which you can see if you click
to enlarge...
↓↓↓
I ironed it this morning
And
will now be looking to see what I
have in stash for borders and
backing.
No batting as I stitched it
to Pellon 101 before
sewing...

Tom is working on setting up our stereo
speakers in the living room
while I am working on
one of my Christmas gifts:
It is a
"DOOZEY"
😅😆😕😗
This is how far I've gotten
be "missing"--uhhh
or perhaps I haven't put it together
correctly.......
(Ask me how I know this may be true)
[👿👺👹]
I will say, as a "puzzler" since
childhood, these pieces do not
go together and stay put easily...
They are not as thick as I prefer...
But....
I am still enjoying working out
the different areas...
and have finally gotten all the
pieces right-side-up!!
And sort of
arranged in areas where
they may be used...????
We shall see....
Stay tuned....
