a holiday?
for those of us in a certain age bracket, monday holidays are definitely un-holidays....indistinguishable from many other days. for quilters, tho, it's another sewing day and i've got my projects for today all lined up. i'll be tying 2 donation quilts and then basting some small pieces if there's time leftover. already this weekend have 1) finished a small project for guild meeting that can't show yet.....2) got this little wall quilt assembled...
the background fabric is a gorgeous asian print gifted to me--less than a yard altogether. pulled out some cherrywood scrapbag solids for the leaves. it's a favorite pattern of mine for my favorite season of the year. only a very small scrap of the asian print left...used as much of it as i could as it's that pretty! *** and 3) found this little unfinished piece and couldn't bear to ignore it any longer. will be on the lookout for a decorative hanger for display. shudder to think how long it was tucked away but thankfully no longer!
i have only 2-3 more cross stitch pieces waiting to be finished. though i drool over fancy samplers on blogs and am tempted to make one, so far the size of my UFO list has held me back, a good thing indeed. *** hope you enjoy today whether it's a break from work or not!

Your little leaves are lovely on that soft background! Labor Day is a busy holiday in our town. (Time to leave for the 8 a.m. Mayor's Prayer Breakfast!)
ReplyDeleteYea for finishing your little counted cross stitch. I've pretty much given up counted cross stitch cause either I don't see the pattern correctly or I can't count. Every once in a while I try to make small items for my grand kids. But those seam to take forever though. Your leaves project is wonderful. Hope you enjoy your Monday sewing.
ReplyDeleteYour little Autumn leaves are so pretty against the asian background! lots of eye movement there! Good for you!
ReplyDeleteVery nice little leaf quilt. The background adds great dimension.
ReplyDeleteNice little cross-stitch with a lovely message.
You are making the most of your unholiday holiday. :)
