It’s the end of the year. The prompts from The Joyful Quilter for December were Rainbow and Pluses.
I would have liked to make a small plus quilt for a table runner or wall hanging. But we left home on Dec 6th to spend the holidays with our son. So no sewing machine! I did bring hand stitching…and I had been doing counted cross stitch at home. There were scraps of Aida fabric and a variety of floss colors on my cutting/ sorting table.
Cross stitches are basically pluses on point! 😉 It is not yet a quilted item but I promise there will be quilting stitches when I get home to my batting and fabric!
My plan is to frame it and give it to my 8 year old great granddaughter. Her mom and dad, mostly Mom, repainted her room this summer. I think she will love the idea of us being BFFs.
Looking forward to doing this challenge again in 2025. My scrap stash continues to grow and this challenge stretches my imagination!
Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy and Hopeful.
That's just perfect, Judy! Looks like you've been working on an ABC sampler in pretty colors, too. Hope you had a great Christmas!
ReplyDeleteWell how cute and clever to use your cross stitch for the challenge. And what a sweet gift for your dear granddaughter.
ReplyDeleteYour cross stitching looks great and will be a perfect gift for your granddaughter. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute, Judy! I'll look forward to seeing how you finish this sweet gift once you return home. It also makes me SEW happy that the challenge stretches your imagination while prompting you to use some of your fabric scraps!
ReplyDeleteHi Judy, that's a great little quilt that I hope your great granddaughter will love!
ReplyDeleteI made Chex Mix too, although my son pointed out that it must be my own recipe. In place of the bagel chips, I use Goldfish crackers. Yummy! I always go a little heavy on the worchestershire sauce too. Puzzles are big around here too. I'll be getting one set up this weekend. We are expecting snow. Your book sounds very interesting. I just put a Hold on it at my local library. Sounds like a great start to the new year!
