BIND THY TIME... et al

 

Here is my 2nd " little squares"
ready to be bound...
I backed it with this which is almost
Christmassy...;)))
I hope to finish binding and add the 
hanging straps over this weekend...
I also finished and sewed on the binding
for my two lego placemats...those I will 
be finishing on my machine..

****************************
I've finished all the little squares
in
Gathered Blessings...
Now for the cross stitched borders...
Here are the last two blocks I finished
this week...

*************************
this is up next for my embroidery...
I may just do red all the way through
and I don't like that yellow tinge
around the edges--so may try to use my 
Inktense pencils to change it...
try to make it green or gold maybe...???
Any suggestions???

***************************
Good wishes for a great weekend
Hugs, Julierose

NEW PROJECT WAITING IN THE WINGS

                     Here is my new Scrappy project waiting to be hand quilted...

                       I used the leftovers from Turkey-Lurkey for my dresden plate
                     and leftover 4 patches from a long ago squares-scrap swap I participated in...

As soon as my left hand/thumb recovers from pulling my Autumn Snowballs through
Helga (!!), (Now wearing my hand brace again until it simmers down....I tried to
buckle my seat belt this morning with my left hand and it really finished it off!!)
I will start hand quilting this small piece as soon as my hand permits..

************************************************
Anyone else having issues uploading images on their blogs?? It has taken me 30 minutes
of clicking this and that over and over to get this one up....S I G H ....
Blogger is not user-friendly...;(((
I ended up RIGHT-clicking the image loader just on the
off chance it might work and it did...finally..

********************************************
This morning Thom drove me to Big Y (driving being an issue with that hand in the
brace) and we purchased our 21 lb. turkey for Thanksgiving.  This year both my
son and daughter and their children will be coming here....so that will be 12 of us...
I am really looking forward to it...;)))
**************************************
Here is my latest foray into embroidery...
                                           This cute little teapot flower holder ;)))
                            The colors are a bit more vibrant in person, but still low key...

                     [My stitches are a bit rusty as I haven't done any for quite a while ...]

I will take a little break from posting as the typing probably doesn't help my hand issue
