Odds and Ends

Hey Blog Buddies,

It's been awhile since we last spoke.  I've been working on a piece for a class I'm going to teach next year.  Unfortunately, I can't show it yet, but the good news is it's now finished and I'm itching to go on to other things.

What I can show you is this darling little ornament that I purchased at the Quilters Plus boutique earlier this month.

Isn't it just the cutest thing?

All those tiny prairie points--

I would never attempt anything like this.

But I don't have to because

this ornie is now mine!

I also had another little Hallowe'en finish,

unfortunately not in time for the day itself...

This is a little Mill Hill kit

that I picked up at a white elephant sale.

The photo is much larger than life.

I just need to trim the perforated paper

and put a hanger on it,

and it will be ready for next year...

...as soon as I find my "paper" scissors!

I got a call from my LQS earlier this week

letting me know that

 my Christmas wall hanging

is all quilted and ready to be picked up.

Woo hoo!  That was fast!

I really should pick the piece up

even though I don't have my binding ready.

It should inspire me to get

my binding ready.

Last but not least

I started a new piece yesterday

at my Wednesday needlepoint group.

This is the second of four in

Laura J. Perin's Holiday Ornaments,

American Quilt Collection.

I love them all!

That about wraps it up.

If it's cold where you are

(like here in the Midwest),

stay warm!

Thanks for stopping by.
