LAYERING UP, et al

 

Here are the first 2 Summer placemats
 ready to be
layered up for pin basting..
on my dining table..

and...
the 2nd two
We are in need of placemats, and I had
these cute fabrics and some leftover
jelly roll strips [from the--you remember--
jelly roll debacle hahaha].
So i decided to pair them...
I especially love the little doggies on the
bottom one...💚💚💚

Lastly, next in line for pin basting
is this Crumb Table topper
Another really fun way to use those crumbs
up and improv a bit...;)))


And last, but not least....

My Christmas table topper which
has been languishing for ages
needs a backing and batting.
So it will be next in line...

I have ordered batting 
for this last one and am
waiting for it to arrive in the mail....

I am getting my "Littles" all pin basted for
Autumn quilting...

AND
"Posies" is still resting on my
design wall waiting
for a new fabric that I bought to arrive.

The fabric is a little strewn blue floral
type to go with the petals...I really
didn't have anything in my stash that
came close to being in the "mode"
I wanted....
I haven't bought any fabric in ages...
WOW Prices are certainly up!!!
$$$$$$
***************************
In the meantime, I am continuing to make 
my little neutral Ojos and the stack is
getting larger...


As a result,  my sewing station looks like
a tornado hit it!!!!
😍😧😬

Here are the latest two in progress...
Doing my telephone paper sewing...
↓↓↓↓↓
Such relaxing sewing, I think.
:)))))

I don't know what I will end up
doing with these, but they are a fun way
to use up my leftover neutral strips...
and keeps those bags of leftovers
from mounting up...

***********************
We are staying inside this afternoon as
the temp has risen; but, we were able to sit
out on our deck this morning 
for our wake-up coffees...so nice...
