THIS, THAT AND THE OTHER

  "This":         TAH_DAH  : Swiss Crosses is all quilted....
                 And I love  💗💝💟 how it came out 
                                       now for borders....
                                         red, I think

***************************************************
"That":










Little South West Ojos
flimsey--



I love these
colorways...so
warm ;))))
                                           Flowery Ojos....

                              this one is more old-fashioned with those
                                         florals and smaller prints....

I love making these both on paper and on muslin
squares......
                    I can see more of them in 2020 using up scraps...

************************************
And the "Other":

An off-the-cuff way to use up 2.5" pre-cuts 
that I am swimming in...


      

                     The start of a long table runner with leftover precut B&W squares....
                                             for my dining room table....

*******************************************
This is what my design wall looks like this morning..BUT.......
But wait a minute..

What, you say?? And Where is Red/Pink??

Well, it is hanging in the "time out" closet until it decides to un-warp itself!!!!!!!

           (Evidently, It went through a "Black Worm Hole")

Evidently, (duh) someone cut the long strips unevenly and all the bias
edges decided to pull to one side...very skewed....at warp speed....
SOoooooooooo, break time.....
Enough already...S I G H 

[One bright sunbeam is that I DO like the Christmas Doggies}



                                        See what I mean?  
That is not just uneven pinning on the wall, it is out of "true" 

I will have to rip out every vertical seam and try to straighten out the
strips...and, to be honest, I am just not up for it...now....💁💩 💩(!!)

This has been nothing but trouble...woe and trouble...
and it is my OWN fault...
but I have learned something: I do know this but evidently
I don't practice it:
                         Trim everything EXACTLY-- FIRST (DUUUUUH) .  

No fudging on long strip sewing....

*********************************

I am really pushing myself to get back into my sewing room and
find my lost "joy" in sewing....

And: I need to pull out another piece that
is ready for quilting in the evenings...
