GHASTLIE MONDAY TREAT and TRICKS


I decided to" treat" (ha-ha) myself this morning with 15 minutes of play a la Victoria: 

 I just adore this fabric and it's been sitting on my shelf for way too long now- And....this batik  (you can really see those great colors if you click on the pix) is ages old--YIKES! from the 70's--I've NEVER even used it!!  See, here's my reasoning (read: rationalization) :--)))
  I've been soooo goood ironing scraps, re-arranging fabrics & just working on my ufq's (unfinished quilts) since Jan. 1st that I had to perform a "trick" or two on my design wall--I hate that empty whiteness!!  

Anyhoo...here is the start of my --at last--Halloween wallhanging...I don't do orange somehow--at least not much--so this fabric really called my name.

Windy but clearing here--just a spritz of snow last night--cold tho'.  
Mom not doing too well, she has pneumonia--so I guess I needed something to help me along in the "smile"--keep calm and carry on--department.  

Back to "good girl" tying for now...Je vous aime, toutes mes belles amies,
