HO HUM DAY

 I DID NOT GET MUCH ACCOMPLISHED TODAY.  KINDA LIKE ONE STEP FORWARD AND TWO STEPS BACK  SORT OF DAY.   I MADE A COUPLE OF SANTA  PAPER PIECED ORNAMENTS.  WHEN I WENT TO IRON THEM AND SPRAYED THEM WITH BEST PRESS ,GUESS WHAT HAPPENED?


THE RED FABRIC RAN!  SO NOW WILL WAIT UNTIL I HAVE ALL OF THEM DONE AND WASH THEM WITH A COLOR CATCHER ,  OH WELL.

FINISHED QUILTING AND BINDING  THE TWO TABLE TOPPERS FROM LAST POST.


PUT A RIBBON ON MY WREATH AND FREEHAND QUILTED HOLLY AND BERRIES AROUND IT .  I DON'T DO MUCH FREEHAND  QUILTING , I USUALLY STICK TO THE DITCH OR 1/4 " AWAY.  JUST WANTED TO TRY SOMETHING EXTRA.



DID A LITTLE BIG STITCH QUILTING IN CENTER AND ALSO SOME STITCH IN THE DITCH QUILTING.  THEN BOUND IT.

STILL HAVE NOT GOT CHRISTMAS TREE OR DECORATIONS OUT.  MIGHT TRY THAT TOMORROW.  WENT TO MY CIVIL WAR GROUP MEETING TODAY.  IT WAS THE LAST ONE.  THE STORE WHERE I PARTICIPATE AT IS NOT HAVING ONE NEXT YEAR.  I WILL MISS IT.    ALL FOR NOW,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.
