PINK BETTY AND I WORKED--

'a' stitching up a storm again today!!!

We got not one, but two more quilt tops sewed together---

the first one was the 'Brutus' one--

This was a bit of challenge--

for some reason I never seem to get the instructions on the 'putting them together'--

so I just started out by figuring out the sizes of the block--

and I ended up with 3 sizes for this one--

6",7",8" finished --oh dear me!!!!

but if you study the picture you can see that it came out great--

and I did not even have a plan --

it just evolved right into this top--

with all the blocks finishing at 8"--

I used Bunny Hill jelly roll strips for this one!!

-- one thing that is hard to make out is the dots on the brown fabric border are blue!!!

then we had lunch break--

Miss Gracie--

always makes me take a lunch break==

she says I get 'short tempered' when I don't!!!

Hummmmmm!!!

and then I worked on this one that my friends designed--

Joy and Alice--

this one was much easier as all the blocks could be cut the same size--

I chose to make mine 6" finished--

you know me and my limited wall space!!!

I used the Dogwood line in a jelly roll that was left over from another project--

and the outer border is a Sunkissed fabric and is tiny strips!!!

I finished reading a book on my kindle last night too--

"When I Found You" by Catherine Ryan Hyde--

really enjoyed this book--Thanks Bonnie !!

And I got my February's Christmas ornament done--

I chose to stitch a Charlie Brown type Christmas tree--

just love how this one came out!!!

I am still working on a couple ideas on how I want to finish these into ornaments for Christmas!!!

Do you have any ideas to share with me????

 

Well--that's all for tonight blog friends--

Keep those 'needles' moving!!!

Hugs, Di and her bossy cat--
