OFF WITH HER FOOT!!, et al

 

After finishing the quilting on Little Baskets
I took Helga's foot off--YAY!!

I now have 4 small pieces all quilted
and ready to be bound:
Little Fans

Little Baskets

Easter Quilt

AND
Maple Leaf.

And below are
the last two I put aside to be hand quilted
in the New Year after I've finished
"Sunrise, Sunset" hand quilting 
↧↧↧↧
Purple Ojos
and
Medallion SAL

********************************
On the "Dark Days" SAL front:
I've finished all the Kantha quilting and
now have to decide which side to add this
long strip to:

Here is on the Left:??? 
and here it is on the right side ????
[which I favor right now...]
↧↧↧↧
And now this feels like it will still
need M O R E panels added to it...
There are two more months 
left for prompts...
so I will see what K3N  
(on youTube)
has in store for us...

For now, I will be hand sewing the 
panel onto the main piece....

Hugs on this rainy day,

LAYERING, et all

 

"Gathered Blessings"
I finished  embroidering  and
have now bordered this piece 
for layering...
[the panel is by
Kathy Schmitz
which you can see 
across the bottom if
you click it]

This lovely cherries border fabric
was a gift from Wanda..
...thank you💗...

I have pulled this smaller piece
and the one below as my next
August finish those WIPs
projects.  I want to get them
ready for quilting...
↓↓↓↓
I call this "Little Handbaskets"
...
(Tom says : "Going to
H### in a handbasket"
haha always the comedian!]

I have yet to cut out
those green block fabrics
behind the bottom basket parts--
I will use my duckbills for that...
they were a Christmas gift long
ago from my Mom...
***********************
We have been in a "bad air quality alert" 
from the Canadian wildfires here for
the past few days....and today the
skies are still clouded with smoke--
but there is no acrid smell today
so perhaps it is moving away....

******************************
"Sunrise, Sunset" is all pin basted
and will await its turn for hand quilting
until I have finished 
"Christmas Ojos"
I am working on the outer row of blocks
the last ones;)))


Here is how the back looks:
I like how the pattern is coming out here;)))

This is how things stand here right now...
