What I Should be Doing

What I should be doing and what I am now doing are two different things. Right now I should be wrapping the presents I have already made or boughten.  I should also be on high road and doing my American doll clothes. But no, what am I doing, procrastinating!!! I should be picking out small bright prints for those cuties. I should be cutting the patterns out by now!  This is what I have been doing,although cute.
This is one of three little quilt signs with wool
, to hang on the wall.





They all have a Santa hat on them and I was looking for something to make them more 3D .  I was looking through my stash and found 2 yards of this trim which I probably have been saving for twenty years. I think it will do the trick. 





Kim Diehl also gave a free little pattern out and I have that ready to sew also. Did not do the appliques out of cotton, did them in wool too!



A little embroidery will go on here too!  I think my  expectations are a little to high , but we will see.
Chit chat later,Martha.

Onward!

  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.

Daughter Called

Image
My daughter called and asked if I would make her a couple of quilts! Of course I said yes, I love sharing my quilting with her. She  found a block she liked on pinterest in black,greys and white. I drew out my pattern on graph and began piecing until I got this.... and I found the most perfect soft snuggle backing.... So I now just have to take it to the quilter! I have also put up a small Christmas tree in the living room. I finished a small churn dash quilt of Fig Tree fabrics that I started at retreat in the beginning of November. I also finished my candle in the window log cabin quilt.... I started a few circle  blocks. I am going to use various blue backgrounds with my Kaffe and Tula scraps. All for now,chatter later, Martha.
