CRUMB QUILTS and MORE

 
Fiona's Crumb quilt 
all layered up and ready for
pin basting...

Here is the close up of the border"
I love how this goes with the 
lavender strips....

AND...
Here is Willa's
all layered and ready for
pin basting....
and
a close up of her border
One of my favorite
(I've been hoarding this one!!)
prints...

********************
Later on...
they are both pin basted and ready to
be machine quilted...
Tomorrow i will set up my machine
for quilting and work on these two
and my Ojos which is also ready
to be quilted...
I was going to hand quilt the Ojos--
but my hands are really 
sore these days with all my other projects 
on the go...

Here is my first addition to my 
"Slow Stitching"

Just a small bit of greenery using up
some of my 
my lacey pieces left over from my
Crazy Quilting..

I want to add embroidered stems and
little leaf-ey things...with
fantasy wildflowers 
and
do something with that 
sky piece at the
top... 

I left the bottom of the ruffled sari silk open 
so that I will be able to begin the next prompt
there...

AND...
I have all these pieces leftover
I want to use them in this 
"Down the Garden Path"
fabric snippet roll...scattering 
them along the way...

I won't be  buying anything for this
project,
but trying to use up what I have
on hand.

Nicki Lee's "Raviolee Dreams" 
is the etsy site
where I purchased the lace bits
many years ago...She
really does beautiful work...
i have quite a pile of them:
↯↯↯↯
The pinks include a mauve-y shade
which I love...

***********************
I am continuing on knitting 
my facecloths in the
evenings while watching 
the tube...

Another rainy and dark gray day here...
will that Sun every come out?????
