FINALLY, FINALLY A FLIMSEY--a short addendum

 

I decided that I needed some kind of border on this one....
I had used up almost EVERY tiny bit of this
lovely cherry fabric; 
one of my
favorite fabrics of all time....
I found it curled up in my binding leftovers box....
[a Jan Patek fabric]

NOW....
 all I have left are these
two little "bits"
⇓⇓⇓⇓⇓⇓
I had to cobble together what was left
of that original binding fabric to make
the fabric  
S  T  R  E  T  C  H
around the perimeter;)))
πŸ‘ΊπŸ‘ΉπŸ‘Ώ

AND.....
you can also see that I had to cut
the wider strips in half to
make it around....the
last two sides....

P H E W !!
BUT....
I do love how this sets off my
"Scrappy Snowballs".

SQUARING UP, et al

 

I am using up my 2" squares 
along with
5" squares for
"Snowballing"

[Note: it feels cold enough
to make snowballs here!!]

I found this pattern at 
Susies blog...
she has a lot of really neat
patterns and easy ways to
make them...;)))

I am loving how this
 is coming out...
Just a really fun project...
I may make more and 
turn them into
a long table topper...
πŸ’ƒ

****************************
And, I put together another 
one of these
just for more
fun sewing...
πŸ’™πŸ’œπŸ’›
This one uses 1.5" squares 
and
strips...
I just need to add R&L 
sashings...


This is the extent of my sewing
since my last posting...

I've been darting in and out of my room
and just sewing for short intervals
at one time...

**************************
Here is a picture of Tom's new
Weather Station...
He is still in the process of
setting everything up...
It has just begun to rain here in
earnest as you can observe
in that little rain drop in 
the center...
and only 44 degrees outside..
another chilly day here...😒
************************
Easy Peasy dinner tonight:
Egg salad sandwiches
and Tater Tots...
No muss no fuss....πŸ‘ŒπŸ˜‚

I hope your week has gone well
and that you managed to get some
fun sewing time in...
