Between the really terrible weather the last month-ish and the wonderful hint of Spring we had this past week, I went from SAD to euphoric, and now that it's just cold, grey and wet, I'm back. I have been working like the crazy person I am, though. A lot of it has been projects for the shop, which you can check on their
blog. I'll give you a peek at the Christmas project in progress:
Lots of pieces to mark and cut. Yes, I'm doing it the slow by hand way, so I can make sure the templates are good, no matter how you sew it.
Then there is the mew BIG hexagon project I started:
Wait! Check it out next to my foot so you can see it really is big:
Told ya! The best part is how fast it's going.
Then, since my Sashiko machine is on the fritz, I decided to see if I had any machine quilting skills on a regular machine. Didn't have a project, so decided to make a lovie for our guilds' project for Ronald McDonald House:
I'm really candy deprived, so I made it in soft pink and chocolate.
Now to get it quilted.
Of course I've had all kinds of help from the little "dust mops":
This one wouldn't even stand still long enough for a non blurry picture! Two of the others were smarter and sacked out--sort of:
I've also been making Zentangles til my eyes got gritty:
and:
So, now that you've pretty well caught up with me, I'll try to keep it more regular. The key word there is "try". No expectations from me, so I won't accept them from anyone else!
Have a lovely late February afternoon.
later

Cathi has a great tutorial on the blog. I had made one of these a few years ago, and it was really fussy. Cathi made it so clear, I whipped these right out.
