FLOOR WORK FOR CHRISTMAS, et al

I have laid out my Christmas backing for "Willy-Nilly"...
;)))))))))
Phew--
Crawling around on the floor is not for
the faint of heart 
(pitty-pat--pitty-pat )!!
πŸ’“πŸ’“πŸ’“

All these fabrics are from my 
Christmas box--which really has mostly
cut offs and  smaller pieces in it--
But. but, But......

 I was able to unearth 
these lovelies.)))

You can just about make out all those
little 1/4 and 1/2 yds and scraps
in there.......

{The table runner the box is on
is the
Cathedral Window
 my  Mom made 
all by hand
from Dad's old ties
 when we got together
with our sewing group 
once a week---
We called ourselves:
"The Sew and Sews".
;)))))
It was such a fun 
group of ladies...
Sadly, they have 
all gone on
I do miss 
those 
days}
Moving on as we all must....

I split that old fashioned white scenic fabric in half and then
put my favorite pomegranite fabric down the center;

AND
Along the top and bottom I had this wide striped fabric scene to use,,,
I think this will work well...
Willy-Nilly will now become
"Holiday Willy-Nilly"

Who Knew????
****************************************
Well, that pooped me out for the rest of the day!
πŸ‘ΉπŸ‘ΊπŸ‘½πŸ‘ΎπŸ‘Ώ
This old bod doesn't like getting up and
down and roaming around on my
knees on the floor --Phew!!

So now, I can sew this together--
Looking forward to seeing this
come together...
