Sunday's fun


"Blessing Baskets"
Block #3
SAL at TQC
Block Size: 4 1/2" unfinished

Who's having fun?



Now I have three baskets on my hand.

I'm not really good at diagonal/triangles at all.
It's quite a challenge for me,
but still having a good time sewing ;)


BTW, It was hailing earlier today. 


Look, look!!
The hails on my DH's palm.

It was so loud pounding against the roof
all over the house :O


So it turned out a perfect day 
staying at home all day long-
- my kind of weekend :D


When it's that cold,
we want something keeping us warm, right?

I got a great idea for that!!


What's cooking in the pot?


I quilted and bounded her today and
decide to proceed with staining process
to give her a vintage look :)))

We will see how she will turn out.


"Christmas Garden"
by BBD
Fabric: Vtg. Meadow Rue 40ct
by Lakeside Linens
Fibers: Belle Soie and
 Frorimell by Gloriana

I also added a few more stitches
on "Christmas Garden" yesterday.

The above is "After" and
the below is "Before" as of mid last month.


What else?

Well, I think that should be all for today.

Thanks for visiting and
you all have a wonderful the rest of Sunday!!

  7. Love the blocks and am looking forward to seeing how the stained Apple Brown Betty turns out. You've also made great progress on Christmas Garden. Are you finishing the part below the yellow border as charted? I've seen some variations on that part.

  10. Wow, that is lots of hail. I guess that was a good time to cook your little quilt. LOL.

    I actually really like your fabric basket to which you pinned your little basket blocks. And of course, Christmas Garden looks amazing.
