Wednesday Workings, January 7, 2026

Home for the Holly Days is on the Design Wall.  I have yet to sew the blocks together surrounding the middle, but it isn't far from being under the needle.

The snowballs that make the outside border are all finished and ready for their turn.  The inner border, same as the background fabric, is cut and ready to be measured out.  This project just might be done to a top before the week is out.  I have the back ready too.  Now I just need a clever name.

Installment 4 is done for Scatter Garden.  The instructions call for the top piece of each block to wait before sewing.  I spent the day taking apart and resewing the block on the upper left.  Silly me had the star units that make up the flower stitched the wrong way.  So happy to have caught the mistake now.

My sewing is making me happy =^.^=

Design Wall Monday, January 5, 2026

 Lupine & Laughter Part 7 sewing is finished.  Just need a quick press for these "kitty ears".

I have Month 7 sewn for Home for the Holly Days.  This month needs the corners trimmed and of course the press.  The next month puts the borders together...getting very close to a finish!

Scatter Garden is coming along too.  I have been stitching the "flowers" of Installment 4.  These are a bit involved; more so than the first two projects I shared.  Turns out I missed cutting out a 2" x 3" neutral that is needed for the eight "flowers".  I should have blocks to share on my Wednesday Workings post.

I have shared my 2026 UFO List.  You can find it on my home page in the tabs at the top.  I still need to figure out the last two spots of projects to finish during the year.  Do you have a list?  

Enjoy this first full week of January.

This is Month 7 of Home for the Holly Days.  It is ready for some snowball sewing.  I have drawn the line on all 176 of the neutral squares.

When Perfect Isn't the Point Sample

Tiny Piecing Sample

I need to start considering what needs to be gathered for the two RD2CA workshops.  When Perfect Isn't the Point and Tiny Piecing.  RD2CA is in a few weeks in Ontario, CA about two hours away.  I'll be meeting Kerry at the airport when the fun begins!  These might just be my last projects to add to my 2026 UFO List.
