PEARS' PROGRESS, et al

 

I talked about re-entry hand quilting
in my previous post; the top pear
fabric shows my very first efforts...
and the bottom one shows 
my stitching today.

I slowed waaay down and
did just one stitch at a time.

I am feeling a lot better working
this way...[do you call this stab
stitching? ] I don't know, but it 
seems to be working for me
right now...
💙
I love how it puckers up the fabric...;)))

I am also only working every 2-3
days on this hand quilting project
to make sure my hands don't 
get really sore...
AND
Here is the first section I am 
working on...So many many
fabrics I love💚--

Look at that green and white
leafy one--this piece holds
the very last little strips of it! 
AND
Here is a picture of the backing fabric 
I chose:

I thought these woven baskets would
be perfect as my backing...

*******************
My granddaughter, Willa, has an
August birthday coming up and
she just got her ears pierced--
she will be 9 👧.
and....
She just loves little foxes...

I found this pair of earrings
for her present:
Aren't they just the cutest things???
I think she will love 
wearing them--
at least I hope so...

***********************
Another hot, humid day has dawned here;
I did an early morning stroll just around
our cul-de-sac and found it difficult
to even get an air!! 

So AC for me AGAIN today.
  
TGIF to those of you workers
out there..👌👋
Stay cool and 
stay safe
