I finished two more squares on my crazy quilt (actually a throw). They are 15 inches each and some have a theme to work around. I am not going to finish each seam with decorative stitches, but the idea came to me to use yo yo's to hide corners or add depth (I like to make them). Just finished the block "sewing day on the farm with the girls last year block", all the fabrics came from the other girl's projects (to remember the day). A couple have centers from hawaiian shirts I made for my husband years ago. Many of the fabrics come from clothes I made for my daughter and son. Talk about procrastination, this project has been going on for 8 years and I wuld really like to finish it. This year? can't promise! I would like to, though.
I also finished a hot pad made from jeans, this may be my project to work on for this next Christmas. It's never to early to work on Christmas presents. I made so much last year and felt really great about it.
Definitely going to be a handmade Christmas this year! It'll be great ;) I'd like a jean wall hanging with pockets and such to put my sewing stuff in. I'd hang it behind my sewing table (hint, hint)! Haha ;)
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, I'll have to dust off my instructions for that since it has been 12 years since making the last one. Actually instructions may not be necessary! I will put it on the list!
