I finished Krimped today.  There was just one side to stitch the binding in place when I sat down for TV time.  Oh, there was also the sleeve.  All done before bedtime.  Funny how the name came about.  I was looking for a name that fit in with the name of the project, Confetti.  You might wonder why I didn't just change the name to Konfetti...  I have a project already called that so I dug a bit deeper into the word.  Came up with crimped which is the paper in packaging materials; those strings of paper crinkled up like a slinky.  (I'll be saving Krinkled for a Christmas project).  The fabrics in Krimped came from two projects along with the help from Pam's scraps too.  I tossed in a few blacks that worked well and here you go.

This was Krimped just before the hand stitching started.  I wondered if the thread would be enough.  It was and then some =^.^=

Now on to a new project.  Arms Wide Open is a non-profit organization dedicated to enriching the lives of children and adults with special needs.  The organization reached out to Sunshine Quilt Guild to make theme related quilts for theater productions.  The quilt will become part of a raffle for theater patrons to try their luck to win.  This year the guild was selected to make a quilt for Addams Family performed in October and SpongeBob in November.  Christy made for Addams Family and I am making for SpongeBob.  The fabrics above are the start of this Gemini AI generated project.  Green and golds for SpongeBob's home along with aquas and tans for the surroundings of his home, Bikini Bottom.

Here I'm making felted wool flower clouds and coral.  I'm trying to achieve a dimensional project.  These flower clouds appear in every episode.  They appear in the sky and come in various colors. When in Bikini Bottom, they appear normally, but when outside of the town, they appear stretched out and distorted.  Mine are in the Bikini Bottom just outside of town in purple, pink, and dark blue.  The tan shape is coral of course.  Next up will be making sand...  Check back on my next post (Wednesday Workings) to see the start of my Bikini Bottom!
