CHRISTMAS GOODIES, et al

 

Look at the lovely

package of goodies

my friend Dawn

sent me....💖💖💖

Christmas leaf pins, 

clippies that I use not

only for sewing but also

diamond painting....;))

A lovey hanging towel 

and the cutest Christmas Candle...

thank you so much, Dawn 👏💓💓

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

AND

among other things...

Hubster bought me

this little case

what could be in there??

60 little diamond drill holders.

I had told him I would have to find 

more containers as my next painting

had tons of colors and the most 

I had was 35...

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

Here is the starting page of my 

Fauxbonichi Memories Junk Journal

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

This morning Tom and I went to Big Y

grocery shopping...

Not many people taking advantage of

the senior early hours today...

I found a lovely corned beef and

they also had pork chops...

We also got ourselves

a nice big store made

Pizza for tonight's dinner...

SO

I will make us a big salad 

to go with...

:)))

It's been what seems like 

FOREVER

since we've had pizza...

Y U M !!

;)))

GEESE QUILTING, et al

 

I am all set up to do

hand quilting on "Night Flight"

Geese....

I am using 

this favorite thread

in black

Presencia Finca

No 8 

Perle Cotton

And

Here are the first three

these are such fun to do...

:)))

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

Here are Fiona (R)

and Willa(L)

with their 

American Girl Doll

Quilts.

↧↧↧↧

I guess they were a hit;))))

Fiona is sporting a

new hairstyle from

her previously really

long "do"..

Her Mom did a super cutting job,

don't you think???

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

AND

Here are my daughter Candice's

four

on Christmas Day

Left to Right: 

Greg, Cassidy, Connor and Steven

Oops .... 

;000

and don't forget 

"Libby" --photo bombing

on the floor ;)))

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

We all had a family 

ZOOM 

gathering, 

hosted by my daughter,

for an

hour's chat and

catch-up

on this crazy 

Christmas ...

We are all hoping that next year we can gather

in person...

Hugs from my home to yours,

stay safe 

it's still out there...

TEST FLIGHT

 

Testing testing---

123---

testing.

FOR

"Night Flight"

Santa's not the only one 

flying tonight...

;)))

I thought this bird in flight

fabric would be perfect with

The Geese

Under the Moon

and

I wanted to pick up the mauve colors

and

the black colors 

on the Geese..

I will have to add more of the star

fabric stop border

to the ends 

of the bottom two borders

FIRST I will applique the moon

That will be step #1...

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

I am afraid it will be a windy, wet night for us here in the 

Northeast with a big storm on our doorstep...

We are hoping that there will not be

power outages....

but 

We are prepared with plenty of gas for our

generator if we do lose power

overnight...

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

TO YOU ALL

HUGS,

AND NOW, FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.

 

Wanda of "Exuberant Color" blog

Here is my first attempt at making these

Rolling out little strips...

Forming into 

Figure 8's

ALMOST A FLOCK, et al

 

I have two more rows to get these

all together...

(click to enlarge all pix)

I am having to pin ALL

the intersections as

(hmm-- strangely enough)

not all Geese are exactly 

the same size--

Who knew??

 hahaha

I have begun thinking about 

the top and the bottom

areas....

Here are the starts to my little

Marsh log cabins they are

taking flight over

↡↡↡↡

The batik I had to cut from

left over scraps--

some I had to cobble together

to make a strip long enough...

and the bird fabric has been

in my stash for a long while;

I really cannot recall 

why

I got it--

funny how that happens;

And....

It is perfect for this project ;))

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

I am planning on seeing if this

will be the next round

I have been trying out 

each fabric round first

to see if I like how it looks--

My centers are this marshy-grassy fabric

Another long-standing resident

in my stash ↧↧↧↧

Thank you Lizzy 

for your Marsh suggestion ;))

It sparked all this 

whole fabric

pull

(Lizzy blogs at "Gone2thebeach").

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

I am using this older  book

for my method.

The first log cabin I ever made

was from this book...

I enjoy her strip method

It involves a lot of cutting

so I am only doing one round 

per day on this pile of log cabins...

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

We received 8-10" of the "white stuff"

And it drifted a whole lot 

in the 35-40mph winds...

 H E L L O

W I N T E R

👀👀😦😦👀👀

I hear my oven beeping ..

So I will run in to turn 

over my homemade

croutons..

(ummm they smell heavenly!!)

See you all later,

Hugs from my

FLYING SOUTH FOR THE WINTER...

 

They are meeting up for their 

flight

tonight.

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

I have 11 rows ready to be

trimmed up and sewn together...

I am still debating if I want separator

strips every couple rows...

ALSO:

Is it 

wide enough 

for a lap quilt...

[4.5"x11=49.5"]

{but maybe just borders...}

Hmmmmm

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

Now,

for the upper portion 

and 

lower portion of this quilt.

I know they are soaring 

toward

the 

MOON..

And I want some kind of log cabin 

{over the dark ocean}

 or house blocks for the bottom

for them to fly from...

??????

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

In the meantime....

I am awaiting a couple light 

low volume prints

in the mail..

and

will be searching for

more in the coming weeks...
