I’m linking up with Angela at So Scrappy. Please take a minute or more likely an hour to check out what everyone else is doing in this new month. It’s sure to be fabulous!
My week, not so much!
It’s supposed to be dark neutrals~~ nope
Then, I should be finishing a quilt top ~~ nope,!
Instead, a sort of unplanned project.
A need to have a smallish project for my retreat. A promise made. Both resulted in a cute little table topper.
I rummaged through my Christmas fabric. The reds in most of my fabric were slightly different than the reds in this collection from Bunny Hill Designs. It’s called “I Believe in Angels”
I settled on this very different but very pretty fabric for the back. And it could qualify for neutral! "wink"
It just need a tiny bit of straightening. And a chunk of batting was found, then just enough of this red and white stripe for binding.
Today, I hope to be able to move my car out of the garage, put an old plastic tablecloth down and spray baste. Then I can get to the quilting. I’ve made it my November OMG. We will be leaving home for the holidays, so finishing anything bigger is not going to happen. If I can get the quilting accomplished and the binding attached to the front. I can sew the binding down in the car on our way to our son's for Thanksgiving. And I can post a finished OMG!!
Then:
At retreat, I had a lesson from a very able teacher on making socks using the Magic Loop method. I need to put her number in my phone….so I call if I need help! I have a video to watch too. We were tasked with having six inches done by Thursday the 10 th and I can’t remember which needle becomes my right hand needle! Duh!
Glad you were able to find a project that inspired you this week. The squirrels are always the most fun.
ReplyDeleteI love your runner with the white stars and pretty Christmas fabrics, Judy! That stripey binding is perfect for it, too. Looks like a good project for retreat. I always think you should work on whatever suits your fancy! Are you heading to CA for the holidays?
ReplyDeletehard to be excited about dark neutrals but your fabric choices around the stars are sure pretty. I love knitting socks but don't know about loop method.

Lovely table runner, Judy. Sounds like you had a great time during the retreat. Looking forward to seeing your new socks.
