LAYERING UP, et al

 

Here are the first 2 Summer placemats

 ready to be

layered up for pin basting..

on my dining table..

and...

the 2nd two

We are in need of placemats, and I had

these cute fabrics and some leftover

jelly roll strips [from the--you remember--

jelly roll debacle hahaha].

So i decided to pair them...

I especially love the little doggies on the

bottom one...💚💚💚

Lastly, next in line for pin basting

is this Crumb Table topper

Another really fun way to use those crumbs

up and improv a bit...;)))

And last, but not least....

My Christmas table topper which

has been languishing for ages

needs a backing and batting.

So it will be next in line...

I have ordered batting 

for this last one and am

waiting for it to arrive in the mail....

I am getting my "Littles" all pin basted for

Autumn quilting...

AND

"Posies" is still resting on my

design wall waiting

for a new fabric that I bought to arrive.

The fabric is a little strewn blue floral

type to go with the petals...I really

didn't have anything in my stash that

came close to being in the "mode"

I wanted....

I haven't bought any fabric in ages...

WOW Prices are certainly up!!!

$$$$$$

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

In the meantime, I am continuing to make 

my little neutral Ojos and the stack is

getting larger...

As a result,  my sewing station looks like

a tornado hit it!!!!

😍😧😬

Here are the latest two in progress...

Doing my telephone paper sewing...

↓↓↓↓↓

Such relaxing sewing, I think.

:)))))

I don't know what I will end up

doing with these, but they are a fun way

to use up my leftover neutral strips...

and keeps those bags of leftovers

from mounting up...

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

We are staying inside this afternoon as

the temp has risen; but, we were able to sit

out on our deck this morning 

for our wake-up coffees...so nice...

LAYERING FRANKEN-QUILT

                        Here is Franken-Quilt ready to be pinned...


First, I sewed the music fabric long strips on the backing this morning....
                                                      ↡↡↡

Ironing all the seams open so they wouldn't peek through
the white...and trimming evenly

Then got my batting out--and
of course!! 
It was too small...phooey!!--so I cut a long 7"x 43.5" strip to the side
to make it long enough....zig-zagged it on and....
                                voila..just right!!
                                           ;))))

I had to get on the floor ---oof!--- 
(AND you do NOT need to see THAT picture believe me!) :'000

and  laid out the batting; and measured the
half way points on all my pieces...

Then I rolled the batting and the top together 
so I could then unroll it in place on the backing 
sitting, smoothed out on my dining table....

Phew--that's all for me today....

Tomorrow I will begin my pinning....

That's all from "Franken-ville" today lol
