a few surprises this week....a gift of fresh balsam from maine; battery candle ok for the apartment....love it!
the use-it-up project is coming along....i did have a few strips of the cheddar left, not enough for binding i'm afraid. the sashing is another scrap and fingers crossed i've enough for all. if not, pretty sure i've something that'll work. that's the downside of working with scraps, often hard to calculate if there's enough, for me anyway.
a neighbor gifted me this stack of old quilt magazines....pure gold! thumbed through a few and found more project ideas....like who wouldn't? a dangerous, delightful gift!
perked up my days several notches i can tell you. sending huge thanks to these very generous quilters for blessing me so generously. my budget has no room for fabric but no need with fabric angels like these. no doubt what i'll be doing over the holidays!
few holiday happenings here at the complex that allow for cheerful gatherings with other residents, new and old. i did meet another quilter who moved in recently.
another round of PT on the calendar that'll keep me busy thru january--when i'm not sewing that is!
as you can see, blogger being obstinate again despite my repeated attempts to align the text to the left. i don't know how to reveal formatting codes so just have to go with it.
Oh, I bet the candle wreath makes everything smell wonderful. Wish I could go through the magazines with you. And, how generous to send you all that wonderful fabric. You are going to have fun figuring out what to do with such variety. Thanks for visiting my blog - too!
ReplyDeleteYou’re going well with your current project. The magazines and fabric are a lovely bonus Christmas gift. I’m sure there will be fabric fondling and fun deciding how to use them. Maybe an idea will pop up in the magazines.
ReplyDeletenice nine patches! what a fun looking stack of magazines. I too have format issues sometimes that I can't figure out.
ReplyDeleteLove the new candle decor. Candles (even battery operated) add such atmosphere to a room.
ReplyDeleteYou are making great progress on the 9-patch blocks!
Such fun to paw through gifted fabrics and find the treasures that call to you.
It is maddening how blogger can play nicely for a while and then suddenly get a stubborn streak.
Quilt magazines are full of squirrels! When you go through the new to you fabric, you can kit up new projects from the magazines. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll create something amazing with those fabrics.........
ReplyDeleteThe cheddar blocks look great .....
Thinking of going thru my magazines and getting rid of a heap but where to throw them to?????
