Sewing this week: challenge met, another on it's way, and one that didn't quite pan out

 

well, that scrap goes back 26 years!!!
another busy week of sewing, cooking, translating life to our rescue puppy 

ALFIE!  Choosing a name post HERE

smile! 

The prompt for Project Quilting was something like, "hand held" so my first thought was to make a purse handle/ lanyard of red scrap geese which I did and LOVE. I trimmed it to 2" straightening the edge but then decided to go in a different direction

a 3 foot long geese piece

holds a lot of supplies

and make a pentagon EPP bowl with Spring colored scraps! Some embroidered French knots, a flower applique... post HERE

then with the help of my little snoopervisor Alfie, I moved on to designing the layout of my dragonfly quilt for SAHRR challenge. I think I'm happy with this layout and will design some nice borders... in a right hurry! Despite all the daily (Life is SO daily) challenges

I do love this quilt and hate to hurry through the process just to continue to be part of the group

(Had to take time out this week, for two migraines that stole my vision, and a trip to chiro) along with cooking, baking, poodle training

Mama, don't forget my art, and BTW my bowl is empty

Beautiful job Alfie!

Alfie, that sounds like the perfect name for your adorable little puppy! These flying geese are gorgeous, what a striking contrast between the red and the turquoise! I love their vibrancy. The SAHRR project is growing nicely! Thank you for sharing your inspiring projects and linking up, take care and rest, hugs.

Alfie the "Snoopervisor" is adorable! And of course he takes after you and is artistic. The dragonfly piece is shaping up beautifully. Sorry you were suffering from migraines but I hope this coming week will be pain-free, productive and creative for you and Alfie!
