saturday sewing

 cold and windy, ideal indoor quilty weather....finally a finish!

an official UFO, kim diehl pattern, chosen to highlight the gorgeous pink old sturbridge print shared with me by a quilty peep....it is a gorgeous print....only 18" square and no destination, but enjoyed making it...it's all the counts, right?

moved along the scrappy repros project....

only 10 more rows to go....i still have to cut/sew about 30 of the units, but i just needed to see it started....

more quilting on bow ties, the sashings, and hope it will be done in a month.  i've still a gift sewing project to finish, not quite halfway done, so these 3 things will keep me occupied needle-wise...

and while perusing on instagram, came across the 5-minute crafter....i hesitated just a tad too long and am now glued, sort of....but this project was actually needed here and came in quite handy...

pulled out some christmas wall pieces and sleeves were sewn on...so it is starting to feel christmas-y, sorely needed this year of so much sadness and stress. ...the exercise bike and i have become routine and no longer vexed by painful knees, a real plus!  it's just more effort to get into the holiday swing but once tree is up and lights on, should help a lot.....despite challenges i've been greatly blessed by God's care thru willing servant hands in my neighborhood and beyond...
