The Comfort Cloth prompt for
February is "Home".
[K3N Cloth Tales is hosting
this year long slow stitching
SAL]
I am doing wonky little log cabins....
set in two rows....
I just finished my 1st row row today...
[you can see I've set up the
next four little centers
across the top....]
We have to leave a background
border
on all sides of about
1.5"-2" for joining
the blocks...month by month...
K3N is doing her blocks scattered
"cattywampus" about her cloth using
wedge shapes where they join...
Well,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, s i g h ...........
I began that way last Wednesday and
by Friday had ripped them all out.
👿👽👺
Working that way just made me
SO
VERY
ANXIOUS!!
This is supposed to be a cloth
to calm you down when you are
working it;
so,
I decided to
do my blocks in normal--if a
bit wonky, rows,
I am just free cutting
my fabrics
as I work along to fit
So all the blocks vary in size...
The background is 10" x 18"
so about 1/2 the size of the 1st block
[which is 18"x18"].
See below

I've begun adding some more
stitching with radiating lines
on January's block...
I am using whipped
running stitches...
and...
There is still a lot more stitching to
add onto Block #1...
**********************
AND..
Can you believe that there are now
3 blooms and one bud still left
to open on my Amaryllis...
??????????
Here are a few shots.....
You can see all four above
Here, 3 have fully opened...
and the front one has a slight
greenish tinge to it...
over the Summer to bloom
again next season.....it is so spectacular...
I hope you are all having a
wonderful weekend
