better late than never.... Christmas creativity

 

I finished my scrappy Christmas strings piece, as a table runner, maybe to be hung vertically who knows, I have a year to decide LOL! 

Pieced the back of the 24.5" XX 14.5" top, and got it ready for machine binding. A gold on green stripe all sewn by machine this time

sewn to the back, brought to the front, tucking in the raw edge for machine straight stitch finish with 
BRATTY mylar thread for top stitching 
time for a cup of tea first...


came out pretty

time to quilt and finish Pat's gift now that the hexies are hand sewn together to look like a garden

will this book loving lady go on the back? 

 

a finish,... is a finish.... celebrate that! 

This year I hope to renew making with paint, pencil, weaving, photography, beading.... and more art quilting. 

I'll share my plans for a new link party next week.... stay tuned and get ready...

I  take many photos on walks and plan to begin manipulating them artistically in the upcoming months

the rooftops look like mountain plateau don't they? 


I have always loved sandra boynton cards and now she makes the best videos... LOVE...

Your scrappy Christmas strings table runner is beauriful! And I didn't realize another one of Sandra Boynton's talents was song writing! Thanks for posting these videos that have introduced me to that aspect of her!
