CROW'S FEET, et al

 

Here is my next memory block..

[I had to call up Jack the Ripper

two times--I had the feet on 

upside down (!!)

and the beak 

pointing the wrong way!!]

So

After a soothing 

cuppa tea,

I performed surgery on

Mr. Caw Caw.

Phew!! 

Those tiny little

feet started out as

3/4" squares...

I mean, really???

**********************

Anyhooooo...

While I was working on him,

I was reminded of when I

used to help Dad rake the

leaves in the Fall 

in our 

back yard. 

↓↓↓

[And here my little leaf block also works with

Mr. Caw Caw ;)))]

 Dad  had prepared a bottomless metal can

that we stuffed the leaves in

for burning --which

you could do with a permit in

those long ago days....

I just loved that

smell of leaves ummmm

Anyway, our little doggy,

Winnie, [Eng. Springer Spaniel]

thought it was great

fun  to chase all the crows that

flew onto the lawn

 to catch the goodies that

we had uncovered while raking

👪💛💭

I think of those fun Saturday

afternoons with Dad

every time 

I see flocks of crows

scurrying across our skies...

****************************

Still working on my hexagons

while watching 

"Drive to Survive"

on Netflix preparing

for the return of Formula One

racing next weekend (F1).

I have one rosette totally completed:

I think that this Kismet fabric

looks like Liberty of London..

don't you???

***************************

A TAH-DAH moment:

↕↕↕

Here are the back and front (?) hahaha

of Fiona's finished Dolly quilt

AND

Willa's

↧↧↧

All labeled and ready to mail

out for Easter....

I still need to make cards

and wrap them up with 

pretty papers and ribbons

😄

***********************

And that, my friends is where

my quilts and blocks stand

right now...

(not counting my too many

UFO's of course)

Grrrrr.

 **********************

Today is haircut day

for me

(a bit on the shaggy side!!);

and eating lightly 

as

we both feel that 

over the weekend 

we ate

VERY 

BIG 

MEALS!!

Ooof-dah..

(Oh, roll me home Mama!!)

😨😩😬

************************

Take care and stay safe

and Pray for Ukraine and

Ukrainians during these

dark days...

🙏😭

HEXAGONIA HAND SEWING , et al

 

I laid out my first "Kismet"

hexagon rosette 

this morning.

I really love these fabrics...

💖💓

I will be resting and 

hand sewing on

this project 

this  

weekend...

**************************

My "Olympic Curling"

blocks are sewn 

together and re-assembled

into squares...

↧↧↧↧

Now I need to decide just how

I will sew them together...

With or without sashing?

******************************

And here are just a few

crumb blocks 

I made for fun

intended 

for a future project...

↡↡↡↡

I really enjoy making these

despite the total mess

they make of my sewing side

table...;0000

I discovered that these are about all of

the usable scrap reds I actually

have--red and purple are my

smallest color scrap bags...

I would much rather have a 

slew of crumb blocks than

just a bag of scrappy 

pieces.  

*************************

I actually think I overdid 

sitting at my machine

this week and I am now

paying the price...

😢😬

I will have to just 

"STAY DOWN" 

for this weekend!!

And not even 

VENTURE

into my room--

;)))))(((((

******************************

I will be hand sewing my 

hexagons and reading;

while my Sweet Baboo

will be making his 

Spaghetti sauce 

for our dinner.
