CRUMB-ING et al

 

My first round of green crumb blocks.

{Click to enlarge}

I sewed them into one big 

vertical block,

 and

then sub-cut it into 2.5" 

strips, 

and 

then into squares, 

and 

then separated them with this

lovely  pink hand dyed fabric that

has been languishing in my 

stash forEVER :)))

The strips are not sewn 

together as yet; just in

a holding pattern until

I can decide what I want

to do with them????

[They could also be sewn into

one long border strip...]

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

My strains have begun to heal

so that I can move around 

more now--

thankfully;))

Tom took me for a ride to 

get McCoun apples--

( I am planning on a fresh

apple pie for the weekend)

 

--and then I sat here

and read

↧↧↧

in our favorite walking park 

while he took his

walk for the day...

It was so wonderful to get OUT

and ABOUT a bit...even if

I couldn't as yet join in 

on that

walk...

Soon I hope....

👫💖

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

I am calling this diamond painting:

"I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus"

I really love how it is 

coming out.

Cooking School

By the time this is over he will be a 

Master COOK..👍😁

HUGS FROM THE HEATING PAD

 

Finally, I got this one

sewn together....

S  I  G  H...

👏😓😥

{I am getting VERY IMPATIENT

with this sciatica and my

strained ankle, calf and glutes

YA THINK??? 

PT was a real

bust for me....

😰😱}

I don't know if Autumn Bounty 

could use a border

or not, but that will have to wait until

I can be up and cutting once more.

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

AND

I have been working on my

scrappy stash bags with tiny

bits and pieces and narrow strings...

little by very little...

↓↓↓↓

Sorted by color;

just a few little blocks at a time 

and then sewn together--

 higgeldy-piggeldy..;)))

Not trimming as yet...

I have no idea how I will use 

these crumb blocks, but

I figure that

they are better sewn

together instead of all in a 

big MISH-MASH in

plastic baggies...

and my meds make it

difficult to come to

any decisions anyway lately...😨

Here is my working station so

I don't have to get up and

down frequently...

And so it goes.

This Christmas diamond painting

is coming together slowly also...

5-10 minutes here and there...

And

I almost have that top 

quarter section done...

You can just make out the 

Santa underneath that

parchment paper..

[you can enlarge photos if you are

interested].

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

Still on resting the injured

leg and trying to walk just a 

little bit with a cane to 

relieve the swollen

ankle.

BEGINNING A JOURNEY

 

These are SOME

of my scraps that

I have weeded out from

my stash and bins..

[I actually have more]

BUT

Today I began

WITH THESE 

on:

"THE INCREDIBLE CRUMB JOURNEY"

{T I C J }

Pieces (smaller than chunks)

and many strips

will be sewn together 

two 

by

two

to begin...

↓↓↓↓

I have so many pretty leftover strips

and "cut offs"...

I plan to  

make

me 

some

crumb 

blocks.

:)))

Tomorrow I will pull some more

baggies of scraps to

add to this main 

B A G 

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

On a side note, I was looking through

my little accessories container that

came with my sewing machine

and found this strange looking foot...

Guess what?

It is a 1/4" foot

It doesn't have a very long guide

but it works and if I click my

needle over 2 stops

I can get a scant 1/4".

😨

Did I buy this and forget about it?

 Y I K E S !!

Did it come with the machine ?

It is not listed in my booklet

on the Foot listing page...

At any rate, I have tested it

and I will have to sew a bit

more slowly, but

I will definitely be using this..

WHO KNEW???

[file under DUH]

😵😮

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

I will also be working on a 

Suprise!!!

quilt 

for some family members

{who read my blog},

SO...........

I cannot as yet

show it here...

It involves a panel 

(36" by 40")

for the front...

and

I have set up the 

back pieces to be cut

for tomorrow....
