HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL

                                                             WE'RE ALMOST THERE....
                                                                      Farewell 2018...
And Almost done here, too:

                                                        STARRY STARRY NIGHT.....
When my hand gets sore from rotary cutting --like from "Crossed Up" I turn to my latest craft...
Diamond Painting...
I wish our night tonight would be full of stars, but the old year is going out on its rainy way...
Stay safe all .....

CROSSED UP

                                                         Crossed-Up center is together...
                                                             I 💖 how it came out;
Now to sew the side triangles on...................
I don't really like the stark white, but nothing else goes either....
Sooo,
I am hoping I can use a quilting stencil to make a four-corner design....
and fill those corners with hand quilting....
***************************************************
AND...here...........
another G R A Y Sunday is before us....

We will be watching The Patriots game this afternoon ...

***********************************
Dinner tonight will be  Thom's spaghetti sauce and meatballs with my
own homemade garlic bread....👫;))))yum..

I hope your Sunday is filled with quiet and sewing...

                                           CAN YOU SPOT THE DIFFERENCE?



But, mais, oui, I REVERSED  the directions; and I cut 4 of the red crosses 
and 8 of the white  crosses...
                                          I think I'll call this one "Crossed Up"..lol..
                                          .typical...;000
there must be a reason
that I canNOT. seem to :.......................... follow simple directions...

At least I saw the problem and switched the little 
3-patch
rectangles...
