First up is my Wonky Star project that I started this summer. I had no idea what this was going to be, but I think it is an awesome pillow sham! First attempt at hand quilting. Still needs binding.
Next is a Christmas gift from Becky. Embroidery!!! YAY!! I haven't done embroidery in years, but I saw this darling sampler on etsy, and hinted that I would really love for Santa to leave one in my stocking. She actually gave me two samplers, but I started with the easier of the two. ♥ it.
And finally...Dresden!!! Fun! This ruler is the best $5.00 I've spent in awhile. (50% coupon at Joann's). I have lots of projects in mind for this little guy.
I see a trend towards smaller projects. I like having small, portable projects, AND I am using up scraps and stash fabrics. But I really want to make one of these like Trish at Notes of Sincerity. It really does make me SWOON!!!

Oooh! So much fun stuff going on over at your place! I love that wonky star pattern and I love that you did hand quilting on it. I have a thing for hand quilting-- I just love it!
ReplyDeleteIsn't embroidering fun?! I picked it up again a couple years ago and I'm so lovin' it! I like how portable they are too-- and that I'm actually able to complete them! That sampler of yours is so adorable-- so cheery!

Hi Kathy! :)
ReplyDeleteI loooooove your wonky star project! I have a thing for stars. I love them!!!
Your little stitch project is really cute too. I have one in a hoop going as well. They are fun to do in the evening with a cup of something yummy.
I am like you...I love small projects. The big ones are just sooo overwhelming to me. And I get bored. Maybe they have a name for that? Who knows. :)
Hope your day is sunny where you are. Mine is sunny with tons of snow. Sounds like January! :)
Hugs and smiles,
Shann
Hi Debbie,
ReplyDeleteReally love your starry sham. I love the variations in the stars and colors. But I especially love the embroidery, it is so sweet and looks fun to do. I'm with you for smaller projects and portable. The dresden will be so lovely. That's a lot of work!
I can't believe how fast the days go.....wish it would slow down....most days!!
Have a great week, xoRobin❤
Wow, Debbie, I loved this post! The starry quilt is just beautiful, love the colours and the effects. The embroidery is so pretty and textured. And you are doing a Dresden pattern too...gorgeous!! Lots to 'swoon' over here today!
