Indulgences and Applique Progress




I indulged in snagging some items in a series of recent flash sales by Fig Tree and Company and my box of goodies arrived this week.  It included a bundle of half-yard Christmas fabrics and a set of scissors.  I made a quilt out of Christmas fabrics several years ago and gifted it to my daughter.  Maybe I will have a new one for me by Christmas next year!



I also managed to finish the handwork on another applique piece for my Kim McLean wall hanging project.  If I follow the pattern, I will add a series of hexagon flowers as a border.  I’m still debating whether doing so will make it too large for use in our house.  We have so many windows and an open floor design that minimizes wall space.

 


My Tuesday quilting tribe had a Christmas gathering this week.  I handed out these screwdrivers as party favors.  Most of the gifts I received in return were edible.  Their only remaining evidence can be seen on the bathroom scales.  


One member who is very good at machine embroidery made felt patches for us.  It occurred to me that it might be appliqued to a journal cover, we’ll see.
