whew....wednesday was a wide open day and spent the ENTIRE day sewing 2 more borders on the "midnight at the oasis" piece....it was almost like work, really a labor intensive task. but love the outcome and only one side left to do...those little squares finish at 1" so there are a LOT of them! ...and here's the may mini!
this being may, saw TONS of basket quilts etc. all around the 'net....got me thinking about the basket stamp block, which i always liked, remember when it was issued even! someone had mentioned about striped sashing that immediately brought this stripey fabric to mind. with patriotic holidays on the horizon, went with red/white/blue, well not exactly white. anyway, i like it and can use it for a table topper. will be linking up with
wendy and the other monthly mini gals!
it's an un-holiday weekend for me with a possible zoom party...what to do? well, there is this...
already pulled and cut up batik scraps for a planned donation top...the rest will go in their respective shoeboxes for more tops that can be donated. at nearly 73, have to pick and choose which ones to finish and keep for myself. *** going to try and elude the despairing TV fodder by exercising, sewing and reading....

I'm sure you will find something to keep you busy and away from the TV. Go on, join in with zoom too.
ReplyDeleteLove Midnight at the Oasis well worth the effort and the mini is charming too.

"Midnight" looks amazing! And your little basket mini is perfect for a patriotic finish!
ReplyDeleteThis is just to say I love, love, love your little basket quilt. Those stripes do it for that quilt!
