Well--only 12 days into 2022 and I have had to do a 'redo' on a new project!!!
But first here is a finish--
And I did add something to him--his scarf--otherwise he looked sooo cold!!!!
And a cross stitching project--
This is actually from the same blog posts as the snowman series--
she is doing a set of '4' of these--seasonal--I did the snowman one first and he will be going into my red truck once I get him made into a little pillow--I am now stitching the Fall one she gave us--and then will be waiting for the spring and summer ones!!!
Now here is my--redo project--
I decided I wanted to actually make the blocks each month on
Quilt Doodles site--
And here is January's--
All prepped and ready for applique (that is how I do mine--applique)
I first make a mistake on the watering can and had to redo part of it--
got that done, last evening and all the watering can appliqued down--
Wellll--
this morning something occurred to me--
first I believe this is a monthly series with birds each month--and the birds on the original tag showed yellow and black birds and that is what I thought I was doing on this one--
but then--I remembered reading the word--Junco on the top of the pattern--opps--
Junco's are not yellow and black--
so back to the fabric bins
and I redid all the pieces in different colors--
and I have about half of the watering can redone--(much easier to do this time--after a trail run)
oh--why did I change the watering can--felt I wanted a lighter 'grey' on this one than what I was doing--also changed the color of the flowers to a lighter blue--but we haven't gotten that far yet--so who knows????
And if anyone is interested--you know that I have been doing the February Stitch Daily from the Crabapple Hill Studio site--and she just posted this years patterns and supply list--and it is all birdhouses--how cute!!! I got my pattern printed out and ordered the couple threads I didn't have in my stash yet--this will be my 4th year doing this project.
And just what have you been up to????? Anything new????
hugs, di

I'm not sharing my cats! They are keeping me warm =). I plan to get a little hand quilting in tonight, if I can get off the computer.
Hi Di. Cindy's BOM is one that I want to do. So I will keep that in mind when I do the birds and make sure I use the right colors.
How frustrating, that really was a renovation, not just a redo. Hopefully this next week goes much more smoothly on the stitching front.
