onward to christmas!

 

a singular, subdued holiday for me....oh, and if you see one-legged turkey around, please don't mention my name...LOL!   ***  the day flew by with lots of quilty stuff....two bastings got done...

this piece made from some gifted anonymous blocks....a hawaiian style baltimore project.  so much applique work already done....chose these 4 and 2 of the border units for this wall piece...i do have more blocks awaiting ideas...and mr. reindeer got basted as well...perfect backing in the stash that is now used up. 

pinned the binding on the amish granny wall quilt and finished quilting on another runner UFO that now needs just binding too.  added another border to the guild's challenge quilt.  then played around with this potential project...

another hawaiian style piece...the print is a lovely yard of an edyta sitar design....the yellow is the new piece i just got, which was NOT intended for this applique but looks pretty good.  not big enough tho, so if i do go with it, will need to acquire more.  the applique is very coral-ish in design.  simply have to stop with the applique projects...five are on board so far--dargate baskets, midnight at the oasis (border only), red/green christmas blocks (4), a vintage design wall quilt and now this coral thing...before settling on a background will audition a few other colors, but so far i like this a lot.  

still to baste is the scrappy trees, after backing is fashioned.  all these should keep me busy until the new year i would imagine, plus a bit of cross stitch besides.  no wonder time flies!
