IT'S SNOWING ;)))), et al

 

Here is the view off of our back deck----

the "dingle"--all clothed in white--

The cedars heavy laden with snow.....

Our V-Shaped old Apple Tree

with those lovely branches ...

and 

our tallest cedar below

Tonight we are expecting a frigid blast that should

keep the snow for a while....

Such a beautiful, soft, gentle snowfall we've been

having--

and still coming down now....

**************************

I tried making some scrappy

Buckeye Beauty blocks with all my

4-patches, but they just felt flat and

uninspiring...so ..........

Then----

I tried just putting them up 

all in rows and I really didn't like

that much either!!

these are all the purples and 

blues pretty much...

😕😖😣

[ I also  have a bunch

of Autumn colored ones

sewn into 4-patches.....]

S  I  G  H  

Well, I will have to think of some other way to use them,

I guess.....

*******************************

My Big Scroll is coming along

though....

Here are the first two panels...

I will be starting a new piece to work on this week...

Meanwhile, it is still snowing but our temp has risen to

32.4, so the snow is getting heavier and wetter,,,,,

I don't know if this will last until Christmas--

but that would be so nice if it did...

MONDAY MAKING, et al

I've finished these last two pages for Candice's

Christmas bunting....

I packaged and mailed it out to her this

morning.  I am just hoping that it is

the right length for her mantel...

*********************************

On the machine piecing works

in progress:

These are almost the last of my 2.5" squares

going from (pictured above ready to be sewn)

"Twosies=

into=Foursies" ready to be used in some

future 2026 project....

I am still rounding up some more and will

be steadily sewing these together...

I feel I will be more likely to use them

as "parts" sewn together like this...;)))

***********************************

My other machine project is getting these

neutral Ojos sewn; I still have a lot of

neutral cut offs left to use up.

↡↡↡↡

Here is my stack so far...I have left the

papers on until I use them...

I do really enjoy making these...

*********************************

And my new hand project is 

a scroll to fit this large bobbin that

my Mom had saved from the weaving mill

where my Grand-pere (her Dad) worked:

I am working on this one right now; trying

out new embroidery stitches ....

and below

This first piece is all sewn....↻↻↻

Again just using all little cut offs and

leftover bits of mostly neutral fabrics.

I seem to have centered on these low volumes

lately--perhaps it is my

wish for some snow????

😇😉😊

I will be joining them together with a small

vertical strip as I go; the backing

I am working on is some soft flannel...  

I am enjoying working on these small

pieces and am happy to be using that

"special-to-me" old bobbin 

to hold them...

********************

I have no plans for any bigger quilts

right now.....

and will be trying to do some more

smaller pieces that I started and are

in waiting.in the New Year.

********************

I see that Tom has brought out our two little

table topper trees just now.....

and the two boxes of

ornaments and decorations...

So, I guess that will be in my schedule for

this coming week....😊

Here is the one in our side tv/sitting room

waiting to be decorated...;))))

[I am trying to not get rushed during

this run up to Christmas, but rather

take my time and enjoy all the

"little" fun things...]
