monday design wall

have been thinking about some sewing goals for going into 2021 and one that kept popping out of the gray matter was the dutch tree of life panel...it's been on the back burner for far too long...so pulled out the fabrics that were set aside to at least make a start and formulate a beginning plan for a few of the borders....

most of the fabrics set aside are half yard or less so others will need to be found in the stash....the narrow pink is a di ford fabric....the second pieced border (blue squares) will be followed with another narrow pink border....after that it's a border of pinwheels....have also cut some designs for broderie perse to be incorporated at some point...

decided to donate the autumn jubilee top to free up space on the 2021 UFO list for the dutch tree of life (TOL) panel medallion....better for it to be finished and benefit someone rather than languish in the unfinished pile here.  

this little piece finally got finished....it's the nordic christmas mini sew along....nice and festive!

holiday tasks move forward on schedule despite a mini detour for fixing an eye issue...it's just one more of the constellation of medical problems i've had since moving into this apartment....not as bad as the pigsty where i briefly lived in dorchester, massachusetts....but leaves a lot to be desired and not anything like what i consider home...
