Snow Happens

I have been embroidering  a pattern from Bird Brain patters  that is done in blue work. And I have learned something new along the way. Which is a good thing and a bad thing. Anyway I have known for most of my sewing life  that red and black can have a color run. However I was not aware that blue could run. So I will be washing my project again after it is quilted with a color catcher. If I would have read my directions a bit more careful before hand I would have known to soak my blue thread in vinegar and water to stabilize it.  So as you looke at these pics you will see some dark spots and know this will come out.

I have also finished three more blocks for my Remembrance quilt.







So that makes five finished.  When I finish my runner I will show another pic. Enjoy your day, it will never come again. It is unique upon itself.  Martha

  I have been doing some more sewing of flying geese, the past couple of days.  I have made some progress as I have about twenty sashings total sewn now.  Here are pics of what I have finished so far. I also got back another lap quilt from the quilter and I have sewn down the binding on the front side. In the evenings I am enjoying hand sewing the back side.   I also purchased some Applipops  , which were a bit on the expensive side($35) and decided to try them for all the circles in this quilt. They are not worth the price in my opinion.  To each his own. I prefer my mylar circle washers, There are many more sizes and easier to use.
