FIRST FINISH OF 2024, et al

 

My "Christmas Ojos No. 1" is 
done and dusted!!

I have two others in the wings as I want
them to be sprinkled on tables
at Christmas time...

Seems like a long time since I've had 
any kind of a  "finish";)))

Here is how the quilting looks on the back; 
I think it almost looks like
a subtle Shashiko-- a bit.

The binding fabric is left over from a project a made
a few years ago...it was all ready for me in
my "leftover binding" basket;))))
that was a treat to find! 

Below are a few close ups...

Here is one green/gold Ojos center
and

Here is the red/white Ojos

and below the 2nd green/gold with
the VERT LAST of that
lovely gold fabric print!


I am happy with how it came out.
:)))))

And
Here it will sit for viewing
on my Grand-mere's old wicker rocker...
in our living room...

*************************
Next up for hand quilting is 
this Green Scrappy table topper,,
:-)))

All layered up and pinned...
This one is a true "bits and bobs" leftover
crumb mini quilt....

It should be fun to hand quilt...

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
I am continuing on my Afghan journey-- 
the stripes are mounting up 
little by little....

I am still only doing one
row per day...

I am using up all of my variegated yarns;
isn't this pink just gorgeous?
↧↧↧↧
Especially next to that lovely 
deep, dark grape one>>>>

*****************************
We started out the day at 12 degrees 
but it is warming up pretty
well; noonish now--and 
 it is 30.9 degrees
I'll take that ;))))
