Two projects at once

 Well I made progress on my paint by number. It is going to take some time.

It is not very portable and I was heading to my parents for a few days, so I started another felt stocking for a friend.

I got about four steps accomplished, which doesn't seem like a lot. That probably involved 50 sequins. That is what takes time. For whatever reason I was struggling to thread my needles, so I would only do it for a bit.

Bulldog pillow

Hello all

The nose isn’t lined up exactly where it is suppose to be but it will do!!



What are you two up to these days??

Crossed threads done!

 Good evening ladies,

  I give you crossed threads.  I used scrappy strings and a blue grunge fabric.  I quilted along the the interwoven parts so there’s a lot of texture.  I pieced a back from the stash. What have you been up to? Her

More Paper Piecing

Nothing makes me happier than when a paper pieced pattern lines up perfectly, just like it’s suppose to. The other day, I finished all the squares for the EDIOS quilt too. 

These are the last few squares I needed to make. 

After a quick discussion with Her, here is my layout. I am proud to say I randomly placed all the squares and only had to move two. 

Next up, add the 1.5 inch dashing in between each square. That will take me a bit to get done. It will be something I can work on during the evenings after school. It will be mindless sewing. 

You may be wondering what else I might be working on. I’ve decided to make a bulldog pillow for our SCC to raffle off or for them to give away. I bought a pattern and am trying to figure out the colours. It’s harder than I thought it was going to be. 

This is the pattern. 

Here’s the paper to follow. 


Here’s my way to figure out the colours

Here’s what I’ve got done so far

I can kind of see it but I’m not sure. I think I’m going to have to change the white piece in the bottom left hand corner. It was piece number 2 of 12. I’m going to sew over top instead of ripping it all apart. Or maybe I’ll take it all apart.

Who know this was going to be such a challenge. 

Wish my luck!

PS. The new squares for the 2021 Quiet Play quilt along came out today.
