More must be made. The assortment of medium and dark blues used in the top are for the leaves and larger part of the flowers. I am using the Avery label paper for this applique job. The vine that slowly curves connecting all the leaves and flower stems will go on last.
Monday's mail brought the jumbo rick rack that I was waiting on to finish Kristmas Kollection mini. Love all this hand sewing! Hope your last week of 2021 is just what you want it to be... Look out 2022 is just days away =^.^=
Not much in the way of a total for 2021, but look at how much I used this year! See how much further I get with Michigan's applique tomorrow in my Design Wall post=^.^=
I had help today from Sue getting my website up-to-date. So if you have time check out my completed projects since October. Hope your week isn't standing in shopping lines!
My home is decorated...gifts are starting to arrive...friends and family visits are taking place. The holiday is definitely here!
Nothing to change my stats this week. Maybe there will be a change with Pumpkin Trio next week.
I mentioned yesterday that more pumpkins will grace my Design Wall. This is what I'll be working on this week.
Tomorrow there is December 2021 Sunshine Quilt Guild Meeting. A Pot Luck evening that is always fun. I have two projects to share Kristmas Kollection and Kofi. Hope your week is fun =^.^=
Kofi came my way last week, finished from Kerry. She did some awesome custom quilting. I prepared the sleeve and the binding this morning. Settled in with two cats on my lap and stitched away. I will be sharing a photo of the finish tomorrow.
Today I turn the stats for Hocus Pocus finish! Hope you have a great week.
Today also came a delivery of Kofi. Photos coming of this awesome custom quilting project done by Kerry. She kept the blades 3D and added my favorite design of circles in the borders. You will love this one!
Looking forward to Friday that is the annual holiday luncheon with BAE Quilters. This year we plan to meet up at Yanni's in Poway.
Hope your week ahead are full of what you like most =^.^=
I also took a short detour to sew up Sunshine Quilt Guild's November BOM coordinated by Teresa. Teresa supplied the four colored squares that run across the diagonal.
I finished Bonnie Hunter's Rhododendron Trail Part 1. This annual mystery that quilters around globe are so thrilled to get free from Bonnie starts on Black Friday and usually lasts through the start of the New Year. Here's the Introductory that lists the fabrics you'll need. I have decided to change the pinks for salmon-oranges. Salmon-oranges will look much nicer with my décor. It isn't too late to get started. The scrappy project can move fabrics in your stash to the tune of 25 yards usually if you make the queen size projects that she usually designs in her mysteries.
Part 2 was finished also so now I am on schedule for Part 3 that will be released on December 12th.
Nothing changes my stash numbers this week. I have the next 2021 UFO that will be worked on my sewing table and Michigan ready for applique placement on my dining room table. Check me out on my Design Wall Monday post tomorrow for glimpses at these two projects.
I did go as far yesterday to select the fabrics in orangish color to do Part 1 of Bonnie Hunters 2021 Winter Mystery Rhododendron Trail. (OMG, could she have picked an easier flower name? LOL!) The orange fabrics in the basket are what will be used first with the stack on the bottom when more is needed. I do need to cut this one yet. I love making HSTs!
Enjoy your week!
I have a pretty good collection of the orangish/salmonish fabrics that will be used instead of the pinks ready to cut Part 1 of Rhododendron Trail. I will be starting out with half the size of Bonnie Hunter's project.
I also will be working on glue basting the Basket Block of Autumn Love project from Lori Holt. I was able to turn all the units on the drive to Idyllwild on Thanksgiving. I plan to share a photo of it tomorrow on my Design Wall.
So happy to turn the numbers on my Stash Report today =^.^=
With right side of the fabric to the wrong side of the interfacing, sew along the drawn lines. Trim close to the sewn line and clip along the curves and "Vs". Cut an "X" just big enough to turn the units inside out. Push the seams against the interfacing side so the pieces are flat.
No other finishes to claim. One day soon Cinnamon Spice will be done. Too much happening between watching Mandalorian and new movies on Disney+. We also had weekend fun with family...my sewing room has been calling me =^.^=
I finished Komplex Kontents too! It looks perfect in the space I made it to fill.
Now just need to get Cinnamon Spice off my design wall and in to the hands of Kerry! Hope you are having a very special week.
DH and I did a lot of fun things this weekend. Friday it was La Jolla beach walking and lunch. Saturday it was Pt. Loma and lunch. Sunday was set aside for binding and football. Needless to say little machine sewing, but I did get Kristmas Kollection finished!
This was after the ric rac was sewn in place. The binding was ready to sew next. A photo of the finished project will be next for you to admire.
There's nothing this week to change stats.
