FRANKEN CHRISTMAS QUILT

I trimmed up "Franken Christmas"

this morning ...

All hand quilted now...

Here is the reverse

with a VERY old 

fabric I've been waiting to

find the right spot to use

I just love this print...

Here is a close up⇊⇊⇊

Aren't the figures just adorable? 

Love the expressions...

and poses...

Next I made up my binding..

using leftover fabrics..

Bits of my favorite Jason Yenter,

red/green geraniums, and 

some textured green...

{For those who asked I began with 4.5" strips, straight cuts

(no bias cutting) 

and the ironed and folded in half...

I know I said I was done with binding for a while, but I do want to finish this one up;

It contains a whole lot of my crumbs of favorite fabrics in reds, and pinks..

the white strips are just a serendipitous addition...

And i love how it pulls all those varied blocks together...

Somehow more crumbs have

resulted...

they just keep on expanding...😱😲

This one was

Fun to make and fun to hand quilt, too..

I used Valdani thread in

variegated reds...

Hand quilting this one has kept me company on many nights when

I could not sleep...

*****************************************

Lots of thunder, lightning and torrential rains

this afternoon...

And SO SO SO HUMID!!!

💇

I made piggy tails with my long hair to

keep cooler...

Stay safe, wear your mask..

P.S. And  I HAVE gone into settings and 

checked in with my gmail address...still no joy....

ZIG-ZAG FINISHED

I just finished my SIL's

"Zig Zag" quilt binding

this morning...

(click on all pix to enlarge)

Here is the reverse...↑↑↑↑

Who was that masked photographer ;)))

Shore birds 

and

Whales among the waves...

And to go  with the title....

 this is how I finished attaching the binding.

↧↧↧

I really like the look of this..

And so the saga, epic journey of my final 

L A R G E   QUILT

is over...

All I need is my label now

before Christmas...

I hope Steve likes it...👵

FLOWERS AFTER THE RAIN

Pretty sad and bedraggled pink lily;000;

but more to come I am happy to see...;)))

My pretty raspberry lily covered in

raindrops...

And my lavender really came up

well this year...⇊⇊⇊

I will cut some for drying 

tomorrow...

******************************************

We had more rains today.

So,  I had a quiet reading day

while

resting my back/shoulders in preparation for

finishing off the machine binding of

SIL's quilt....

Stay safe

PINK LILY DEBUT, et al

Early this morning...

More to come↧↧↧↧

Lots more...;)))

We've had thunder. lightning and hail storms all afternoon...

Finally 2.36 " of much needed rains...

***************************************

I managed to sew binding on the front of SIL's quilt

tomorrow I will sew it onto the back...

I have it all ironed over and pinned in place:

This is one BIG KA-HOONA of a quilt;0000

It is laid out on my ironing board 

waiting...

This will be the last of my 

"Binding Mission" 

for a while now...

SUNDAY'S STACK

Sunday Stack↑↑↑

Four more little  Orange finishes...

Flying Geese trials...

"H" quilt blocks

(sorry it's sideways --oops!!)

Crumb pieces with↟↟↟

Orange Slices

AND....↴↴↴

Broken Dishes Star

These are the last of the Oranges...

They were all made for RSC Orange Month.

I may use them for table toppers or table mats;

or for little dolly quilts for Willa and Fiona.

I am calling an end to the RSC bindings for a while...

PHEW!!!😏

*******************************************

I placed my "16 Patches Squared"

 in this configuration as a trial

The "reds" form a cross in this 5 x 7 setting...

AND...↓↓↓

I have trimmed up SIL's Zig Zag quilt and have the binding to hand

Tomorrow I will sew that on...

While this spurt of energy lasts, I am trying to get

as many done as feasible....

But for the rest of this Sunday I will be reading and

resting....
