MY LITTLE BASKET, et al

 

I have begun making 6" square little
woven blocks....

Each block will be one colorway....
and will be backed
with a very lightweight fabric
with simple running stitches to hold it
all together...

I took an online class with 
Jude Hill years ago
and made a bed sized quilt using
this method --
[albeit with bigger squares....].

I also saw "K3N's Cloth Tales"
recent Youtube video 
where she made a block like this
for her Week 39 prompt 
in her fabric  Journal...

AND....
also my little basket
holds 
 these little cuties:

I have some leftover
 Kaffee Fassett 
Charm squares and 
I am making little
puffy reversible squares,
{"Little Puffers"}

 They are simply whipped stitched
together --
back to back--
with leftover batting scraps
inside...
Then I sew a few holding
stitches on them...

As you can see above using 
that red perle cotton thread...

I like to have a variety of hand
projects to switch back
and forth as I watch tv....
:)))))


****************************
AND....
I received this beautiful book today
in the mail 
from Tom as part of my
Anniversary present:

I can't wait to read it all.....

I also await the 2nd part of this gift 
to come which is:

A tin of DMC Mouline Special
embroidery flosses ....

He really knows what I like
💓💃💖

*********************
I have decided to make my "Willy Nilly"
flimsy into a Christmas tablecloth;
flannel lined and paired with
backing fabrics from my 
old Christmas stash...

I am hoping to deplete that stash a lot....
I may use my machine tying at 
block intersections to
tie it all together...
we shall see....

***********************
So, this is part of my fabric 
ongoing WIPS 
right now...

I hope you are enjoying this 
Autumnal weather
