OBSERVATION:
My dear friends,
it's late,
I'm tired and not thinking clearly.
I wrote about this verse,
but need to work on it more.
So, I will simply share it with you tonight/this morning.
Know, however,
you are loved!
OMG Done!
I finished my October 2016 OMG! Yea! And I'm even remembering to and link it! Yea! Here are my twelve squares for the Covered in Love!
Wooly Sew Along!
A while ago I commented on Carole's From My Carolina Home Wool Penny Rug. She was starting a three week Sew Along which looks like so much fun!
I mentioned that I had a bit of wool I was loathe to cut into, and she kindly invited me to join her Sew Along. :) After much contemplation (all of 30 seconds!), I decided to join in! Thank you, Carole, for your encouragement to join in!
Here's the leaves all cut and placed on my mat. I went with what colors I had on hand. So pretty, right?
Here are the threads I had on hand. They seem to match pretty well! I didn't have dark brown, so I'm using a dark brown embroidery floss.
This is all very exciting!
I've always wanted to make a wool penny rung and I love fall leaves so this is perfect! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI will encourage you to try this one! It's fun, quick and easy! If you do, I'd love to see your project!
DeleteBlessings,
Patricia
Your OMG looks great!! (and so do your daughters!)
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing what you do in the wooly sew-a-long!
Good luck, I know how hard that first cut can be! ha!
Right! I started stitching a bit and really love it!
DeleteI see more wool projects in my future!
Thank you for commenting!
Blessings,
Patricia
Thanks for commenting on my blog, Salmagundi Q-Bits. In answer your question about cutting off flying geese points ---- I always sew the seams together with the point on top. That way, I can see where the seams intersect. Also, I'm careful in the accuracy of the unit -- that helps. Hope this small bit of info helps you. Keep quilting as practice makes perfect! Sally
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sally! I will try your way! Thank you so much for your help! :)
DeleteI love your woolly mat! I made a few of them and taught a class, so they hold a special place in my heart. Congrats on the string quilt finish for OMG, love your colours. Isn't it wonderful when a daughter quilts with us? :-) My friend Judy at Quilt Paradigm has quilted several quilts for CIL; maybe she will quilt yours one day.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm so glad Carole encouraged me to participate! This is the first one I am actually making though I have several patterns and a very small stash of wool - for now! :)
DeleteHow nice that you've taught a class on them! They are so much fun!
Isn't it a small world? How neat that you know one of the quilters for CIL! I love sewing with my daughter! She is now trying to sew with me at my weekly Bee!
Take good care,
Patricia
Love your string quilts! And glad you did participate in the wooly project - love your leaves! Thanks for sharing on Midweek Makers
ReplyDeleteThank you for responding so quickly! I am excited about the project! My whip stitching skills are rusty, but I love hand sewing and improving my skills!
DeleteThank you so much for hosting Midweek Makers!
