| Not a wall hanging |
Just a brief insanity update. This weekend I finished the top of what was supposed to be a Christmas wall hanging and obviously has morphed into a Christmas throw. The fabric is "Yuletide Magic" by Benartex and I love it. I bought it this summer in Anchorage and didn't think anyone here had it. I finally found a bit by accident at Material Girls. They even had the panel so I got one to cut up and make individual wall hangings out of the blocks. Not sure what I'll do with the large quilt. Me? Mom?
I've also begun an extravaganza of Christmas bowls. I got these three finished over the weekend and some others started. The basic idea comes from
Fast, Fun & Easy Fabric Bowls by Linda Johansen. I'm getting to use that bolt of Timtex I've had hanging around for several years. I searched all over town for some Sewer's Aid to help with my metalic threads and came up empty. Am I the only person who has trouble with metalics? Of course, I have some somewhere in the house, I just don't know where exactly. Biggest problem (aside from the Sewer's Aid search): choosing the fabric and thread combinations. Just sew already! I also ended up spending a lot of time working with Lynneva on her element project which took away from my productivity. Damn you Manny Manganese! For those wondering if I used my "snow day" to work on these, the answer is, sadly, no. Today was a bust in the creativity department.
