Busy Busy Busy!!!

Jan 23rd

OMGG I've just gone into the sewing room to cut out bindings so opened the drapes!  Now this 20+ inch drift has settled some ( same as the living room) but neither has slipped off the slanted cement ledge 4" below window frame! You can just see the house rooftop in the left corner.  On the weekend I could see the drift form through the drapes but it was toooo cold in here to have a look see.  Glad this isn't my bedroom!!!!


Edna and I took a hand applique class and both fell in love with these and the technique so promptly bought them.  We should have asked questions and would have bought only one set as there are FOUR of each size within the package.  So Edna is willing to sell half of her package. 
Right side and second pictures are half the package of Perfect Circles. 
Full package was $20.15 (taxes incld)
Half package for sale is $10.00 plus postage for shipping.
Please email or message me if you're interested.
Thank you.



I'll be at this event the whole weekend!  Maybe see you there.  Also I've Raffle Tickets for their beautiful quilt for sale - $2 each.  I'll post the picture in the comments.

Can you believe this!  I had not calculated at all, somehow luck was on my side with this binding.  First off no joins on the corners, no twisted ends or joins and only this little bit cut off on either side!  WOW!!!

OK, either I'm finally catching on or when not tired from retreat excitement, I've again got the binding on first try!  WOOO HOOOO!!!!  So while the hocky all star skills competition is airing, I'm going to be stitching!  Next post will be of both hangers on display!!!!

OK I didn't get my wall hangings completed last night, only have to anchor down the sleeves.  Just about, but had to stop because of painful finger pricks, no I don't use a thimble! BUT another idea popped into my head around 3am and stuck with me so that meant I had to start it ASAP!  Even though it involved squaring up and I can't find my 4x6 inch rotating mat, dang it!  🤣🤣🤣  Here's a teaser!!!  😉


I sewed up those HSTs and cut out my strips today (I need more, maybe repeat a few, but am not going to buy anymore and the larger prints just won't work here).  Enough sewing HSTs and moving strips around, I give up and will let my mind relax!  Maybe tomorrow I'll see things better!  My intention is to go light top to dark bottom using my Canada fabrics!  I've added the greyscale here to help me.






Yahooiee!!!  I've managed to tat a couple more angels asked for.  Even tried one with the other metallic I bought at my first tatting conference/retreat - #313 Sand Dollar!  Sure making use of my lovely dragonfly gift!!!


Very very late last night or very early this morning I finished both wall hangings!  Now just to find hangers wide enough to get them on my walls!
