ORANGE SLICE IS QUILTED

                 I have finished my hand quilting on Orange Slice...;)))

I have decided to put this and other RSC pieces away for binding and 
finishing until
the month of December...
*************************
Now "Maru-gata Kimmi" is all layered and pinned; so this will be my next
handquilting project...


                                 I really L💖ve that little Kimmi doll...........................

************************ 
Meanwhile, we have stocked up for the c-virus ...staying away from crowds...
our State is, little by little, closing down and cancelling events and 
closing schools--going "online" for students' studies...
Good cautionary measures for a Pandemic event...

We can only hope and pray that we and you and your families stay safe
and healthy....

ORANGE YOU GLAD.....

                       I am SO so close to finishing up my hand quilting 
                     on  my Orange Slice for RSC February...;)))

I will be working on this during the Red Sox Spring Training Game
this afternoon...;))))

I have used 3 different shades of thread:↴↴↴
               The outer band (on white) looks like a white thread;
                    but it is really a light peach thread...

I am so enjoying stitching round and round on this 
"roundish" 
circle
dresden... 
AND
Here is the reverse side↧↧↧
               I am using up a VERY OLD fabric that has lain 
                                undiscovered up to now
                                       in my stash 
                                        pushed back 
                                          underneath my novelties...
                       And......Why did I put it there?  
                             I don't even recall having done that!!

           Those are the unanswerable questions that give me pause....
********************************************

And now, I will have "Maru-gata Kimmi" to move onto.↡↡
Another "sort-of" circular, free cut dresden ;))) 


                          Isn't that little girl print just adorable???

I free cut those blades, 
{and sometimes I have to take darts 
and/or tucks to 
make the shape lay flat};

and then machine applique the outer edge, 
hand folding as I sew; and then machine applique the central circle.

My plan is to make one each month in the RSC color of the month
and use them as monthly table toppers -- this is a very free and
relaxing project for me..

So the dresdens will get cut FIRST each month--
out of whatever scraps 
are in that month's baggie...

I am hoping I will have enough for each month--
some may end up being very ....very ........
small
rounded 
shapes--
we shall see..👀👀👀👄💝

these are.............
A little monthly surprise for me....;))))

*************************************
I hope your Sunday, this first Sunday of Daylight Savings Time,
is wonderful....💖💖💖
