QUILTING AWAY, et al

 

Dark Days, block #3 for Comfort Cloth SAL at 
K3n's YouTube channel is almost
all quilted now.....
[It sits beneath my "quilting pillow
that I made for my "hoop-less"
lap quilting...]

I used a simple running stitch and some little
"stick" stitches to hold the raw edges
in place.....

This freehand way of stitching is a
very relaxing way of working...

On the right (above) that very light pinky
cloth is another little added square;
And
below here, I
 also added a few more
to break up the woven strips 
a bit...

My little outlined 9-patch  below remains unstitched so that
it will stand out from the rest of the piece:
I have just the very top dark blue strip to finish quilting...

This Wednesday the next suggestion will be given
Although, at this point, I cannot imagine 
adding anything else??????
But we shall see....

********************************
Christmas Strawberries is also
close to being all quilted:
I loved working on this fun and lovely
pattern of Melisa's


Here is the reverse Holiday fabric...

I just have to finish another couple rows
on the front border squares...
*********************
FYI:
 I sat for 4 hours during DH's in-office 
laser stent surgery
this past Friday and worked on Dark Days.

That kept me calm and passed the time along
with reading and doing some crossword
puzzles.
  
He did really well and is now able to
walk without any pain already!! 
He has a 2-week follow-up and
hopefully all the results will be good...
Many thanks to all of you who sent 
good thoughts and wishes...

Hugs, Julierose
