november's mini

 

kyle chose pink and brown for her mini....mine is pink and black.  i wanted to use a color that hardly gets chosen....this is 12x18, probably the smallest quilt i prefer to make.  it's hand quilted, a true humble quilt.  i've started on the december mini already, not quite as small as this one.  check out wendy's blog for other minis of november....all very nice indeed!

for december's OMG, this mod type in solids will get finished.  it isn't bed size, rather ideal for sofa or chair throw.  

this will make finish lucky #13 for this year unless can pull out another small piece.  looking forward to end of year wrap-up and plans for 2022...

November OMG

happy to say my November One Monthly Goal has been met....finished this wall quilt called "an amish granny" since granny smith apple green is the background.  was going to use a fancy border design but with more UFOs waiting and plenty of WHIMMs (works hidden in my mind), decided finished was the better choice...linking up with patty at elm street quilts to document...

also racked up another finish....a large runner called "south beach stroll"....friend marianne had given me the small piece used in the border which prompted the idea....

i think that's finish #12 so far this year....should be able to knock off at least one more and only started 5 6 new projects so making headway on the UFO list...some of the remaining haven't gotten to the flimsy stage yet and quite a few are large size...another busy year anticipated for 2022....

last week at a lab appointment, somebody backed out of a parking space....

old blue will be admitted to the hospital later this week for an unknown stay...i felt bad for the other driver as she had just left the surgeon's office...not sure if bad news had influenced her or not...thankfully she was fully insured and car will be in tip top shape soon...i told the woman she got me in the saddlebags, trying to make light as she was visibly upset.  accidents happen and it can be fixed....not worth agonizing over...a rental was included but i'd have to pay the daily extra insurance, which i can't, so could be getting a lot more sewing done for the duration.   now bring on monday!
