this was the weekend....extra hour, well not really but i'm glad for the earlier daylight. i seldom venture out at night but i am an early riser and the daylight gives me some oomph to get going. but more time change going on here.
midnight is past and Christmas morning ahead, so gotta get the folk art nativity done...it's in the hoop and maybe by thanksgiving a finish? we'll see...
and yes, 'midnight at the oasis' is finished! here's a bed shot. it's throw size at 62" square and not sure yet how it will get displayed....it was instant love when i saw this pattern, which was a gift to me. i'll freely admit it was a challenge but ignorance catapulted me into things before, so i took it on. not the easiest to hand quilt, which was definitely work, not a lot of fun. but it's done, looks great from the rear of a galloping horse. as someone told me recently, "a blind man would give a million dollars to see it." i love it anyway. the colors are much more vibrant in person. my camera won't transfer photos anymore, so these were taken with the tablet.
once halloween is over, it seems everyone acts like Christmas is next week! holiday events are on the calendar. my gift list was pretty much final months ago, so no last-minute frenzy. *** i'm packed and ready to go visit family for a quick visit before snow flies--not me, them! with the budget on life support, probably won't be able to go again until summer. my un-raise in social security will hardly get me out of city limits. but plenty of quilty projects to occupy me thru the maryland un-winter!
