Sewing Saturday

 

Welcome to this week's sewing round up... The pic is of a block by Lilyella done with EPP onto paper templates. I am into fall colors now that our trees have begun to wear them...

EPP is done in sections onto paper, and this time I glue basted them

 then stitched them together with a whip stitch

into a kind of kaleidoscope block

Which I'm trying to decide how to set

I enjoyed this music this morning as I typed this...autumn morning bossa nova 

when I finished the block, all the seams meeting in such a pinpoint place center were difficult to tame. I sprayed them with water and pressed them going around like a pinwheel and the block laid flat

thank you to Jocelyn  https://canadianneedlenana.blogspot.com/  for the pattern source & inspiration

Now for RSC, the color of the month to use in scraps is Light/lime green, or as I call it "neutral"

and I didn't realize that was the color until I had just an afternoon to make something... I showed all the sweaters a couple weeks ago in a post 

I want one like this!!! As a poodle lover, it's adorable to me

No I'm adorable mama!

I took this one out to start quilting this week... it has a lot of light green

and I found a diamond dotz kit to finally try... I had to organize first using one of my bead trays and digging out a light box

this really is so much fun... sparkly crystals that instantly stick in place, kind of like following cross stitch and paint by number had a baby and it sparkled!

and I painted a lot, that post HERE, for lots of pretty colors of the season and a tutorial

that's it for this week... and my next goal is to quilt the Kool Kaleidoscope that is ready to baste
