Last night sewed the rest of the Missouri Daisy Blocks to the yellow center. This is not easy as you have to use a big running stitch to make just
the right amount of "pucker", then once you have 
that secured pin yellow circle on and applique down. Next comes piecing the white squares and triangles all around the daisy. Once I have 5 more done, then I am going to sew all of them together and am thinking for a border to be strips of all the different fabrics I used. Usually these are not my usual colors but always wanted to do something in the retro 30 fabrics, so found this pattern about a year ago....Also, worked on my Pine Tree Houses, cutting, and I don't know about yo
u, but I have to organize all small pieces and large for that matter in baggies, this makes it easier to piece (at least for me - don't laugh now)So as you can see I have been in (way to long) am getting better (Bronchitis) yes, the dreaded coughing is lowing down...so maybe I can actually take Cooper out for a walk today...I think he is depressed because all he does is look at me with those big eyes ... wants to get back in the woods behind my house and run, but for now maybe just a walk around the neighborhood...
I have to say one more thing, since I have been homebound I have visited some of the more remarkable blogs from you ladies and all of you inspire me, I think I joined about 20 more blogs as fav's and I am in total awe of the work that you do.
Keep sewing,
LOTS OF HUGS,
MARY
Okay gals the Penquin is waiving to you all!!! Hugs, Mary
ReplyDeleteI admire people who sew. I found you on Needles and Pins of which I'm a member also. We chat on Ning on Saturday night at 7 pm (central, I think) It's 8 pm my time (Georgia)...so, I've met a couple of the ladies and most of them sew, but they also admire my work. So, it's a nice group. I love your dog, Cooper. He looks so friendly. Who knows, him and Boots might become pals? Bootsy loves to be loved and loves a good scratch under the chin. He's well fed, but still comes around to collect his affection from me and a couple of other neighbors who help feed the strays.
ReplyDeleteWell, getting ready for a busy day. It's nice to meet you. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving in case we don't connect before.
Kind Regards,
Doris
