TALLY-HO, et al

 

This post is really a status record for me...
of my "Littles" waiting in the wings
for years and years!!

Above  is my next quilt top to be
machine bound...all pinned and
ready to go today, hopefully...
And....

Below is what I have left of the small pieces
I've made over the years in
various stages of being finished....

These four all ready to be quilted;
the embroidered one will be
hand quilted as my next project...
the others by machine, minimally...


AND
These SIX need to be backed and layered
and then put into the "to be quilted" pile...

They are pretty much small items that
used a lot of favorite fabrics...

I keep them on hangers on either side
of my stash closet to remind me that
I want to get these done this year!!!!!!!
Right????😉😇
This is next in line for binding ..
↓↓↓↓
I did some machine quilting on the longer vert. and
hor. seams on this Flamingo Ojos...not
my usual densely textured hand quilting..
Now, I need to make binding for it...

*****************************************
I took stock yesterday and this morning
to see what I had and what I wanted
to work on....
I also 
[GASP!!--]
threw out the ones I don't
think worth the effort!!

Yes, I couldn't even see cutting them
up for anything else....
😱😰😯😮😭😳

Don't judge me too harshly...
My advancing years(??) are determining
what I still can and cannot accomplish
these days 
for....
{I am "olde"}
👵👵👵👵
*************************
Today we will be watching the 
Netherlands Grand Prix Race
and I hope to do the final 3 hand quilted
lines on my Dresden table runner...
Then it can go onto the binding wait list...

***************************
Dinner this gloomy, rainy, humid Sunday
later on today will be:

Meatloaf topped with chopped onions,
Boiled Russett potatoes
and two ears of 
steamed "Butter & Sugar"
corn on the cob...
YUMMY!!

I hope your Sunday is a 
good resting day...

Hugs, Julierose

"Pineapple Welcome"
