I would love for you to join me (a retired senior)in my zany crafting adventures with quilting (waaaaay too much fabric); scrapbooking (will I ever catch up?); redwork; counted cross stitch; crossword puzzles; reading; and cooking.

WONKY LOG CABINS, et al

 

I have begun stitching the logs on my 
Dark Days wonky log cabins...

I did the joining strips first.
⇊⇊⇊⇊
I decided, as the block is busy to begin with, 
that plain running stitches would be best.

So, darker brown on neutral logs and
medium blues on the darker blue logs...

I want the stitches to show...
And as a bonus,
I even like how the back is looking:

I will continue working on this and on
adding more stitches to my first 
block...
I need to finish adding the radiating
stitches  on block 1 
and then more running
stitches throughout...

Our next prompt will be 
this coming Wednesday
when we shall see K3N's method
of joining these two blocks....

I am still debating over
whether to sash or not..

Sunny skies 
and 36 here this morning
may allow us to take our daily walk
outside if the wind doesn't ramp
up as it has all week long...

I miss our walks by the CT River...
So beautiful and refreshing....
