REMEMBER ME???
Well, finally! All those handwoven-torn-strip blocks are together and I have added some in stampings and some raw-edge applique flowery hats:
(Sorry for the blur--my camera just wouldn't cooperate this morning). the Stamps are from my collection that I used when scrapbooking and the flowers are
fussy cut from scraps....Here is a Wonder Woman....
I WAS going to sew it on the machine as it is huge--but I am going, instead, to try out some kantha-like stitching--as this top is applied to a light backing already, I am only adding a backing--no extra batting so it should be very easy to needle through....
Here it is laid out on my dining room table...I am still in a quandry as to the finishing binding or edging--but I will ponder that as I stitch underneath in the coming cold Winter weather.....
Now onto basting....not my favorite thing as I find it hard on my back!
Now you can see where all my pastel blues went...since it is really all tron up scraps, I am posting this on RSC13 tomorrow as my week's entry also (this is not cheating, right?????(LOL)....
Hopefully, I will get this one off the table before Thanksgiving comes--yikes!!
Hugs to you all

Strippy scrapping along here...these are the extent of my pastel blues--see those little pieces??
I'm not kidding, this is it....
And these few...just a couple more strippies will contain some bits and bobs....
My September RSC13 is a little paltry, huh? But, with so little to work with I figured I might as well get busy on my "Sea Glass" piece. So far, 31 blocks, and yesterday I made 11 more strips to piece together.
I am excited to have been invited to post on Stringthingalong ..... so, I am re-energized to finish this piece. If you visit that site, you can see amazing string works....
MISSIE: This is for you ma dear....merci, merci look at this....
Here are the pix of the clematis you sent me--still not in bloom, but sprouting away:
It has really grown out over my plant holder and wind chimes................
AND, I think those are little flower buds--I can't wait to see it bloom; last night we had thunder boomers, lightening and rain and today more rain...so perhaps this weekend I will have flowers! I can't thank you enough for your generous gift.....((((((hugs))))
Missie can be found at Hallbrook Designs check her out--great stuff.
I hope you all have a great weekend...
P.S. I am off with my wonderful friend, MaryAnn, to Colchester Mill Fabrics today--uuunh, didn't I say I was on a fabric diet???? Wellll, I really really DO NEED to get some white with blacks for a new hexie pathways project; I mean it is really NECESSARY (right ROTFLOL) ; and I have to re-stash those blues, don't you think I mean after seeing those puny little pieces....yup. I will post my goodies next time,.,...hugs to all
