Well, I was not that productive this week. I did manage to finish this woolly block for Jeni Gaston's FB Sew Along during the presidential debate. I hope to prep the next two blocks today. With the fall weather finally here, I love to work on woolly projects!
I guess Boss's Day is coming--one of my schools is organizing Sunshine (Yellow) Baskets for the principal and assistant principal. They were seeking money donations, but I said I would make something yellow for each. Yesterday, I made these small zip pouches with their initials. They are 4x6 inches. I think they are worth more than the $4 they wanted.
I also dusted off this project. It is my Down in the Garden Block 1--I don't know why it got shuffled to bottom of the pile. I finished up the sage part and will be working on the
rosemary part today for Slow Sunday Stitching. Check out other inspiration here:
For my October One Monthly Goal (OMG), I want to piece my Butterfly Threads Summer Mystery Blocks. If I have it all put together, I can be on the lookout for a border and backing. See what everyone else is hoping to accomplish here:
Have a great week!
I think your zip pouches are perfect for the principals' baskets! When I gave handmade gifts to my teaching colleagues they were always really pleased, because hardly anyone does!
ReplyDeleteI have had the desire to work on wool but have so much fabric out already that pulling out the wool would just add confusion.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea about the pouches. Always love seeing the progress on your Down IN the Garden...and your OMG will be a great finish! ENJOY!
ReplyDeleteGreat handwork project, and that quilt top looks wonderful. I am pulling out the wools today too.
ReplyDeleteIt is definitely sewing with wool season!
ReplyDeleteVery fun projects. Hope you got in your slow stitching today.
ReplyDeleteLove the garden blocks! Are you doing the embroidery through the batting?
ReplyDeletePretty pouches!
ReplyDeleteThose zip pouches are just darling ! They will love them.
ReplyDeleteThose zip pouches are just darling ! They will love them.
ReplyDeleteThe pouches are a perfect gift for the basket and their initials make it special.
ReplyDeleteThat wool applique block is so adorable. I really feel like breaking out the wool now and starting something small. Your zip pouches will be greatly appreciated I am sure! And I'm still enjoying seeing your mystery progress from time to time. You do manage to juggle a lot of projects at once and it's fun to follow along.
ReplyDeleteYou always have a lovely collection of projects on the go. I think the gifts you made are much better than a money donation. Well done. And it's lovely to see your embroidery blocks back out again.
ReplyDeleteThe two zipped bags are sweet. The hand embroidered block sage came out lovely, I look forward to seeing the next one.
ReplyDeleteYes, why does DitG keep ending up at the bottom of the pile? If you figure it out, let me know!
ReplyDeleteThose embroidery blocks are so sweet, and that Woolie flower pot too. Thank God for something to stitch during the debates. Stay calm and stitch on.
