Here's the start of my Christmas Postage Stamp piece. I have the right to left rows sewn together and now for the "matching up" part to sew horizontally. I have been collecting these 2.5" mini charm packs for a bit and notice that there are not a lot of greens in there--no hollies, no firs, no pines....lol
(Do ya think that one light green should be replaced? It kinda sticks out, doesn't it? All the other greens are of that muted [sickey] greenish color...)
I'll just have to GO!Baby cut my own greens to go with all the reds I guess
I have wanted to make a simple Christmassy quilt for a while and although this is straightforward sewing, all that matching will be a challenge for me.
And here's my favorite little charm:
I wanted to join up with the postage stamp swap this year, but I have nowhere near enough to swap. And also, I seem to get overwhelmed when I 'join" up for things...{sigh}. Trying to stay "REAL" here and not bite off more than I can chew.
MEANWHILE:
Ol' Georgie Peorgie is in the corner sulking while I try to figure out if I should re-do those durn little triple nine-patches (and of course that means taking it all apart !! AGAIN) as they didn't all come out right and I CAN SEE IT!!!! ACK!!!
I can hear him muttering in that corner...he'll just have to be patient (and he does fib, he says " get on with it, so what if they're uneven". I hope he holds it down so I can sleep at night!! )
We have turned on the AC here--can you imagine October 15th and the dewpoint is up to 69!! Hot hot hot!
Still working on lozenges slowly...
And that's all the news from my very own "Lake WoeBeGone" today..
.hugs to all
