My Christmas Village ( prompt):
I've basted this page down.
I will be adding a lot more embroidery
on this page...snowflakes
and such....
Again I used some of the
Jason Yenter fabric for that
Village scene...
and some cute little
faux needlepoint birds
on the bare winter branches...
I have to have a think about what to add in..
***************************
AND
Here is the background I wove
as the base for the
Winter Village
after I realized that those longer
blue strips could become
little Mountain houses...
Here they all are just pinned into place...
Today I basted everything down...
Little mountain houses--
free-cut from my tiniest scraps...
for roofs,
doors, and windows...
Very wonky indeed...😄
I think
those Winter winds have blown
them about a lot ;)))
adding snow-ey lace bits
and perhaps some
stitched icicles..
and snowflakes of some sort...
Maybe some kind of wreath...
This still needs quite a bit of
embroidery also..
*************************
Last weekend I stitched some more
zipper blocks using more cut-offs and
leftovers...
These two are using batiks...
[Can you see Mrs. Fish?]
just using what comes to hand as
I weed out my bigger scrap
pieces...
I love this "oranges" print and have it
in a mauve colorway too...
And
To illustrate just scrappiness
these three....
{Can you find the mistake??
Who was it who said:
"It it's too short
add something,
if it's too long,
cut it off" !!!!!}
One of my best quilting rules...
I want to make some lighter blocks now
to add to the mixture..
This is what I have been making
in my 15 minute segments
:)))))
