STALLED


This is how far I got on my Monet's Garden...and got stuck.  Just didn't know where i wanted to go with it....so, into the closet about a year ago or more...

I took it out last night, laid it out here, and then re-folded it and put it back....
Hmmm, then this morning I re-considered and now am adding some more of the white text fabric on the two opposite sides...

Something like this...I will need to cut and baste some half-hexagons for the sides, too.  
I have it next to my seat in our tv room ready to be worked on in the evenings...

AND: 

 here is the 2nd hexagon project that has been languishing for about 6 years!!!
                                     "Snow Flowers"...

this one has to be appliqued onto the all white background--and then
I will figure out what appliques should be added around the edges....

That one is in the wings...they are both on my 2017 list of WIPS...


Look what emerged today??? spring must be coming for sure....
and finally .....

Christmas on the Farm update:  my canning jars--I wish I had made those
covers darker (I may end up darkening them with a fabric pen), but I like the fruits inside--good for Christmas pies....

("Can she bake a cherry pie, Billy boy, Billy boy, 
can she bake a cherry pie, charming Billy")

"UNDER THE HAYSTACK, FAST ASLEEP..."




My newest Farm Girl Christmas block--the bears are asleep under the haystacks....

This is my latest block--an easier one--as still nursing Mr. Pirate (;/0000) 
after his 2nd eye op....I've been looking for a spot for that really "cutie
patootie" bear to rest. And so....
 
I envision: 
Snow laden farms lying quiet under the moon covered with snow.  
My little bear crawled in there to stay warm...
[this was a fun block to put together ]
Next for me will be Crossroads I think....
so far four little 6" blocks and the big Mama Bovine...mooovin' slowly
(oh, this never gets old for me lol).

Hugs from cold snow-laden CT stay warm and safe
