for scrappy week sewing starting christmas day! but first, gotta move the wedding quilt forward. friday nite and today (sat) resolved to finish all blocks....i think i can, i think i can!
doesn't look like much but stay tuned! and while hunting around for an unfinished cross stitch item, not seen since the move, found this....
another UFO! arrrrrrgh! even woodstock is horrified....lol! muslin pieces all cut, plenty of repro scraps on hand so gets added to the 2024 list, making total of 22 so far...hope no others are lurking in the deepest corners anywhere....and the cross stitch piece?
all that was needed was to stitch the stars and find a backing, now ready to sew up and be put into the display duck. it's a little bigger than most of the stuffies i make, but it was such a nice pattern....
most of my holiday stuff is done/over. bathroom even got a serious clean. i've 3 scrappy projects ready for monday, well i did have 3 until saw this in one of the gifted magazines....a bonnie hunter column/pattern.
a simply little scrappy block using 2" strips....oh yeah, i've got a shoebox full! why not try a couple of blocks....bonnie, the uber enabler, was right...it is difficult to stop as they are sooo scrappy and sooo quick! my only consolation is that i have nowhere near the amount of scraps she does....LOL...but plenty to keep me busy all week, now with 4 projects on deck!
off to the gym!
Happy day-before-the-day-before. I love the cross-stitch! And those Addicted to Scraps blocks are so....addictive. Will write a longer message later........
ReplyDeleteWhat a grand plan. You will have fun. I can’t wait to see what you achieve. That’s a cute cross stitch. Only 22 UFOs? Come on, surely you can find 2 more to make it 24 in 2024. LOL. I have a list of 24, with a goal to finish 12 of them.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you've got a plan and you're "stickin' to it". You're going to get all kinds of things done. That Bonnie Hunter block looks like fun. I don't have 2" strips but I have a bunch of 2 1/2" or 3" strips and it looks like it could be fairly easy to adapt. The cross stitch piece is very nice.
ReplyDeleteLots of bits in the go.......
