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...]
