DECEMBER FINISH, et al

 

"Sunrise, Sunset" is all bound and

labeled now...I finished her

this morning...

Here are a few more shots:

The reverse and my little label 

[thank you, yes I will accept 

your applause that

I remembered ;)))]

😁

Full revere side shot ↟↟↟

I used both fabrics leftover 

from this side to 

make my binding yesterday...

And here she is 

resting on my Grand-mere's

old caned rocker in my

living room...

And some very special fabric cut offs 

I fussy cut specially:

the darling little girl in her bonnet

and

Another bigger one in the 1/2 sq triangle cut...

and

The pensive ladies, I call them....

I began this whole "Sunrise, Sunset"

hand quilting journey 

the beginning of last April.

So, 7 months' worth...

This has been, along with 

"Blues in the Night" a

really wonderful project 

using the same pattern in

different colors and 

orientations...

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

We are awaiting a storm which may be a combo

of rain, sleet and some snow momentarily.  

Being right on the SE CT coast, 

we often dodge these big snow

events and end up with

mostly rain or sleet...

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

I am now working on my daughter's 

Christmas bunting and have 3 more

little flags to finish up...

Hers will be much longer than mine, as her

mantel is 74" wide!! It is taking some

figuring on the length and tie offs to be

making this without having that mantel to

measure against!! 

And i am notoriously math-challenged.

Fingers crossed that it will turn out 

the right length!!

Here are the next three

and the final 3 I am working on below

These little flags are a joy to work on..😊😍

I get to use a lot of those special bits that have

been saved up over my quilting life...

The Snowman block has all been 

tea dyed by me...I love that color!! 

So vintage!! 

Depending on the final length

 I may have to come up

with another flag????

We shall see...I measured out

74" along my opened dining room

table and will drape it across the edge

of that to see how it will look...

Wish me luck!!💚

SUNRISE, SUNSET, et al

 

"Sunrise, Sunset" is all quilted and 

trimmed up for binding...

😂😄

I am happy that I inserted that funny

animal fabric in the center back;)))

And

the binding is all ready to be

sewn on...

along with my little label 

which will get sewn into

the binding edge as I go...

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

Everyone came at the same time for

Thanksgiving on Thursday last...

We all had a lovely time of it with

so much chitter-chattering and

catching-up going on:

[the following info is so that I can

keep track of everyone's life 

these days;)))]

↧↧↧↧↧↧

My daughter Candice's four are all on the move: 

My grandson, Greg, who just graduated

this past Spring from Eastern has found a permanent

"substitute teaching" job for this year and

says he is loving it...;))))

Connor, his twin brother, is finishing up 

a few more classes  at UCONN

and will graduate this

January...

Cassidy was not with us as she is

working and now living in

Jersey City with a good friend,,,

And Steven has re-located closer

into Boston proper in a new

apartment...within walking

distance  to his actuarial job.

[those are my

daughter's four...]

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

My son, Jeff's, two girls are busy busy

in musical productions and 

soccer games...

The eldest, Fiona, is besotted with

acting in musicals, she will

move on to high school next Fall

[hard to believe for me!!]

and

Willa is working backstage 

doing scenery in the musicals.

Willa is also heavy into sports and

is now playing "indoor soccer".

She is in Middle School..

P H E W ....lives are really

busy these days for

everyone...

Meanwhile, our lives have

slowed down quite a bit--for

which I am really grateful...

I so enjoy the slower pace to

our days...

👫

I hope you are enjoying a few quiet days

before the real Christmas rush is upon us.
