tackled the strippy stocking border and worked well....and it's done.
so thanks again to the very generous quilter who sent me the scraps....next?
while the walking foot was on the machine, quilted this little placemat, again from gifted scraps. this finishes the stack i received...had just the right backing and binding in the stash.
progress on 'midnight' moving along and should pick up now that i've finished quilting those teeny churn dash blocks...the quilting isn't perfect because so many seams in such a small area, but should keep it from sagging when hung....if it does actually get hung up. it's pretty large but not bed size so thinking of other ways to display.
clara klutz lives here...while sewing/ironing, foot caught in cord and iron fell off board and onto my ankle. it was off thankfully and avoided serious damage, but foot now black/blue, swollen and pretty sore.
pretty melancholy since housing problems have once again erupted. honestly, i don't do anything but mind my business, don't gossip, be pleasant to all...but the housing hellion seems to follow me and create disaster and ruin everything. i am devastated as i truly felt quite content but no more. fervently praying God will sort out sooner rather than later. the sun is out and gym will lift my mood....if not there's always sugar....LOL
Sorry about the neighbors! I hope that getting out will cheer you up.
ReplyDeleteI love your projects!!! You made great progress
ReplyDeletesorry about the iron - that is actually quite scary!!!
and oh boy... heres to Things getting sorted out
Oh, Grace, that stocking turned out so cute! It never would have occurred to me to make a stocking--and I have made patchwork stockings. The fabrics you added were perfect, and it looks really fun!
ReplyDeleteGreat holiday placemat. That will bring someone holiday cheer.
Hand quilting around small patchwork is a challenge. I wish you well with that!
So very sorry about your ankle, AND the surfacing of the housing hellion in your new digs. I will add my prayers to yours!
Hi Grace! as usual all your projects are turning out quite lovely! Wouldn't it be wonderful if everyone behaved the way you do? I LOVE the if all else fails there is sugar ~ and perhaps chocolate!
