I would love for you to join me (a retired senior)in my zany crafting adventures with quilting (waaaaay too much fabric); scrapbooking (will I ever catch up?); redwork; counted cross stitch; crossword puzzles; reading; and cooking.

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,

FINISHING PROJECTS JOURNEY, et al

 

 #1:   "Falling Leaves" is all quilted and ready to
be trimmed up and bound....

#2: This little Easter table topper is also all quilted 
and ready to be trimmed, etc....

#3:  Purple Ojos  is all quilted and
ready also (just machine stitching
on this one....) ready to be trimmed
and bound...

***********************
THEN....
Next, in line for machine quilting, are
the following 3 pieces-- folded to show
the backings and laid out on 
my ironing board:

No.1:  "Little Fans"

and

No. 2:  "Little Baskets"

and
[My less than wonderful !!]
No. #3: "Medallion SAL"

My first ever medallion-style quilt....
I still remain very ambivalent about
this one; but I put in the work
["blood, sweat and many tears!!"]
 and
I will finish it off as a reminder
of what stage I was in on my
first try.  ;))))

***********************
Tonight's meal will be a 
new-found treasure at
BJ's--a lovely
Chicken Pot Pie;)))
{in the oven--easy peasy!!}
 I will serve it with
boiled Idaho potatoes
(which I've peeled and cut up), 
and yellow corn.
Feels like a Fall meal...
😏😉😊😋😍

**************************
I have been resting my hands from handwork
and so, trying to get a handle on cleaning,
not only the sewing room, but also our house
before Winter sets in..
AND...
Tom is storing the outdoor deck furniture 
and
tying up our awning for Winter....
********************

Time marches on...faster and faster
it seems; every Friday we look at each
other and say: "Where did this week go?"

I hope your upcoming week is a good one...
we've gotten both Covid and flu shots--
done and dusted...
