This month's Christmas QAL weekend is being hosted by Joanna of Needle Thread Happiness. That day is fast approaching - do you have a project? Join us for the whole weekend or even just one day or even a couple of hours.
I'll be embellishing my challenge piece.
And I like to work on multiple projects, so I have these bits of scraps ready for a little project that was presented at our quilt guild meeting.
I will be stepping out for a little bit at some point as our LQS has another 'adopt a bolt' sale this weekend (25% off if you take the rest of the bolt)- yes, I'm shopping on my 'no-more-fabric' diet. But I've cleared two shelves, so I need to fill them - and I need backing!
** linking up with Joanna **
I will be updating on the same page thru the weekend
UPDATE
Some of my embellishing supplies - had to put the beads, buttons and metallic threads on the ironing board (kitties) and more is on the side table - this is going to take a while.......
And I made my trip to the LQS sale. What I am going to do with that wild rams fabric - hey, that half yard looked lonely. Benartex, RJR, Red Rooster, Moda, Windham, Andover, (EEEKKK) Ro Gregg and Nancy Halvorsen!!!!
My sewing machine was feeling left out, so I quickly whipped up these log cabin blocks from those scraps. That pin dot isn't really that bright and I need to clean the glue off my cutting mat (SIL).
Sewingly Yours,
Sharon
Looking forward to seeing your finished Challenge piece. x
ReplyDeleteSounds like the perfect opportunity for backing fabric at your LQS. I'm really liking the Twister Tree. It has been fun to chart the progress!
