2nd FILLY, et al

My 2nd filly is about 2/3rds appliqued down...After watching a whole lot of YouTube videos,
I feel better about this kind of work.  For one thing I changed my direction of work and that makes a lot of difference...

And using a chair with arms
and a pillow on my lap...



little by little--learning--I guess
you can teach an olde dog new tricks...lol

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

And I am working away at my little vinyl- lined snack baggies for my grandgirls--here are the 1st 8:

There are two of:

These*

And two of these:

CAT in the Hat for those upside down days....

and two of:

Russian Nesting Dolls and

only one each of:

 the birds and bunnies:

I have Flower Fairies left--making double of those as I figure they will be sought
after by both girls....;))):

You can see these are all set up to be "velcro-ed" and sewn up....on the right you
can see the vinyl lining...great for fruit and veggie snacks at school.....

***********************************************************
Thom and I went out for an early breakfast this morning; and then I worked on our deck
appliqueing. Lovely cool breezes for about one hour--then the heat ramped up....

Tonight I am making Salisbury Steak meatballs in gravy over mashed potatoes with green beans...
A new recipe (NR) . I put the meatballs together this morning and got the taters ready to cook....

Hugs to all, hope you are having a wonderful Wednesday...

VENETZIA and BFF

                                              A foggy morning in Venice, trying out borders
                                                                  ....led to

..."the sun comes shining through..."

I love this old piece of Japanese cloud fabric

(even the thread doesn't want to let go hahaha)

It blends in so well with the Venice colors and

 I added the rest of my golden leaves for length..

So, my backing is all ready...

I just love this print; I had bought it in 2002 after our trip to Italy and never could find just how to use it as I didn't want to cut it up...and so,

another serendipitous moment..;}}}}}

This brings back so many wonderful memories of our fabulous trip to Italy--

A beautiful country and wonderful people....

MY BFF

(Best Filly Friend)

She is hoping to catch up with her BFF here...

{I can see some appliqued flowers in the borders...}

All corralled and ready to go...

This will be a Medallion block 

(frankly, I cannot believe I even attempted this applique,

and it is by no way, shape or form ;))) perfect--but it's mine own).

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

And now, for a bit of a different kind of sewing;

My DIL requested some of those waterproof snack bags for Willa and Fiona

 to take to Pre-school (Willa) and Kindergarten (Fiona).

Exciting times......

So, this morning I ran out to JoAnne's and got some iron-on vinyl and 

now am set with 5 different cute fabrics to 

sew 'em up....

Hugs,
