corona-cation, episode 7

going out on a limb to predict all my UFOs won't be done by the time you-know-what has moved on....not that i'm not trying mind you....got backing and batting ready and now the mod black stripe is ready to baste...


this will get hand quilted and shouldn't take too long...simple straight lines in each block....next up will be the joseph's coat, top now done and batting and backing on hand...

it needs ironing still, which might be one thing my corona stimulus check will provide....mine just isn't doing the job anymore...so happy to have all those little circles done....and yes, there ARE 2 different fabrics....my habit of not making sure there's enough fabric is still in play....my own personal design style!   *** the guild's show got postponed to autumn so more time to sew up things for sale....these are NOT funky masks, rather will be needlecases once wool felt sewn in....


saw an idea for a purse in a magazine and gave it my own spin.....nice lightweight crossbody style for summer weather with both crabs and lobsters represented....possibly a little large for me so might need further tweaking....
nice to see something different on the design wall for a change as the aqua/black/white is a flimsy and will get tied and bound to donate....maybe then the folding table can get put away for some serious apartment cleaning by monday?....keeping up with bare facts of the present situation without being glued to newscasts...it's just tooo toooo much to listen to all day long.  feel completely blessed that me and my family are healthy, we have food and shelter and all needs met...bored yes but needy, no....God has truly provided and keeps us safe with His sheltering arms...now if He could just make my apartment safe from light-fingered intruders....the management are just vile...

  1. Amen! I am SEW inspired by what you're finishing-- naturally, I have enough UFOs for two (possibly three) lifetimes but... little by little. I hope to do some organizing and prioritizing of those tomorrow. We'll see.

  2. The red/white/black is very interesting! Placemats?
