the whole thing!

years ago there was a tv commerical, "i can't believe i ate the whole thing!"....well, i can't believe i finally sewed the whole thing....this triple irish chain top!

all those tiny postage stamp squares...the squares were sewn in strip sets, but still took about a gazillion pieces.  i finished off 3 spools of aurifil and many full bobbins too.  best of all, a UFO drawer is now empty.  **** on another front pulled out this seaside theme toile from the stash...


as backing for this...

haven't yet decided whether machine or hand quilting tho....and another planned weekend task is this...


this piece of flannel will be fashioned into lounge pants now that cooler weather is here....mine are ancient and in need of replacement.   ****  first up are 5 leaf squares for the autumn jubilee project.  such fun using up some very pretty autumn prints in the stash!

    It’s a beauty! Irish eyes are definitely smiling, Grace.

    I have missed many posts by my blogger friends, and I scrolled back through a few of yours and had to comment on this. LOVE the Irish Chain--one of my favs!!
    That lighthouse toile is perfect for a beach lover from Maine. It will serve well on the back of that great little patriotic piece.
    Your ancient lounge pants will be replaced by very happy, new ones.
