WIP

Works in progress this week

 

Quilting a red winged blackbird in front of a moon. Blackbird is inktense pencils. There is more to this quilt that will be revealed upon finishing but I wanted to show you the quilting of the moon. McTavishing works really well on moons ;-)

 

Finished piecing the tumbling charms. That flowered fabric on the right will be the backing. Quilting may take me awhile even though I'm sure I will do something easy and basic but that means boring and I tend to put those projects on the backburner but we shall see. I am listening to a good audiobook right now called the Kraken Project so it just may get done. How should I quilt this though - I'm thinking just meander in the white but the colored squares? What color thread would you use?

And a small, really small notebook cover. This will be folded in half so the notes will be on the front and the pencil on the back.

 

We are enjoying a streak of warm weather for November and sun which is unheard of for us in Dreadvember. Usually dark and dreadful - this year so far it's been divine! I wish that was me in the kayak but I was gazing at the glorious ness of the lake and sunset the other evening (or late afternoon, really since sun sets around 4:45pm) and just wanted to share

:-)

Journals

It's back to school time!

And what does that mean to me? Well school supplies are on sale of course.

Staples has composition books, full size for 50 cents @ so I went to get a bunch for journal/ notebook making.They also had small bottles of Elmer's washable glue for 25 cents that even includes a glue stick!

The county fair is next week so I want to get a few done to put in the craft area to sell.

 

This one is full size

 

As is this one. The words don't show up but they are listen, think, write, learn

 

This the back of a smaller one. I used a scrap of sun printed ferns I made a few years ago.

 

Here is the front. These are excellent for FMQ practice.

 

And for using scraps of fabric that you love but can't figure out what to do with.

So go check out the stores for quilting school supplies -

It's the most wonderful time of the year :-)
