CHILLY SUNDAY

' I' think for middle east coast of Florida--my feet are like 'ice'!!!

So once this post is done--I am curling up with a quilt or two and stitching--

that is after I pick out a couple blocks from this book to sew this week--

Remember--I said I was going to make '1' block a week from this book

during 2021-wellllll---I have so busy on the linen quilt and cleaning-

that I haven't even picked out one yet???

Talking about the linen quilt--

here is some photos of blocks for that quilt--

 And yes--the bottom two hankies have crocheted pansies on them--the one on the left--

is 2 hankies--the top one just has the purple flowers and bottom one just was hemmed with yellow and purple pansies-- the block above this one is also 2 hankies--

and both of these squares are layered --one hankie on top of the one with the edging!!

and these 2 photos show some of the longer pieces I will be using in the quilt--

some are borders from pillow cases that I have had for a very long time!!

Now I need to make the fabric blocks that go in this quilt???

And this morning I finished the train counted cross stitching-

I had planned to get this finished off before lunch and before showing it to you--

but I got busy setting up the next project-a Christmas gift--that was a kit--only to discover 2 of the flosses are missing-so will have to write the company first---grrrrr!!!!

And I am pretty much-- every day --working on this quilt--

and my pink yo-yo pile is growing some--

But I have a ton of machine sewing that needs to be done in the next 2 weeks--

so somebody had better show up with a 'whip' and keep me moving!!!!

I did spend some time in the kitchen this week--one day I cut up a butternut squash and got that

all cooked up and cut up some celery and cooked it a minute or two and cooled it and put it in the freezer for soup making!!  And yesterday afternoon I put together a scone mix that I ordered from King Arthur flours (had to order some yeast from them and you know how things can jump into your shopping carts??) it is Blueberry sour cream--and they did come out good--only they took forever to bake---I should of used my larger baking sheet--!!!    I used to be such a 'good' baker!!

And I got a beautiful gift in the mail this week--it took 6 weeks to get here from Maryland--

 

So worth the wait--

thank you Sunny!!!

Gotta go --need to do some online shopping at JoAnn's--I need another--yep--another set of the

embroidery floss cards--which is a $3 item--but need to order some other stuff-- like thin elastic for mask making--a couple of my flamingo masks, need replacing and we have some holidays coming up--and--

I have a 40% off coupon for today--so --

FIX YOURSELF SOMETHING 'SINFUL' TO EAT IN THE KITCHEN THIS WEEK--

AND ENJOY IT!!!

HUGS, DI
