Any attempt at writing a post this week has been cattywampus.  Not for any particular reason, I just can't seem to get organized this week. So, instead of writing a long post, I'm going to do a few short ones until I get back on track again.

Any stray ends are snipped and it's had a final press.  Now I just need to cut a bit of dowel and hang it on my sewing room wall.

Couldn't sleep last night, so I got up and glue basted some hexies from the never emptying tin.  There's a hiatus on cutting hexies until the tin is empty, then I'll cut out a bunch of light colored scraps, to get some contrast.

The dogwoods are starting to bloom. 

Binding is ready to sew down on the back.  The sleeve is pinned on and ready to sew.   I can't win with photos blowing out.  The background fabric is true to real life.  The rest is blown out.  Oh, well.  It happens!

 

Played fabric chicken twice.  Firstly for the border and then the binding.  The joys of making scrap quilts. 😋  I'll just have to remember to check there's no seams at the corners.  It needs buttons for eyes, a bit of embroidery (including "Be Kind To All"), machine appliqué a then it will be ready for hand quilting etc.

Put a few hand quilting stitches in this one.  The binding and sleeve are made and pressed.  This one and Be Kind To All are both by The Chook Shed.  I think they'll be going up on the pantry and basement doors for the summer.  

Couldn't resist starting Melissa's sweet cross stitch design.  It's here on her blog.  She generously shares all her designs for free and they are all cute.

BEB said I was about to choke on my stitching halo from finishing so many WIPs and it was about time I had a new start. 😉

Still making mutant crochet dishcloths.  Every time I start a new stitch, I forget the previous ones.  Haha!  I started knitting back in the Paleozoic Era and I'm sure it was just as difficult.  Found a bunch of knitted dishcloths that I'd forgotten about, too.  

 

Happy Easter!

Dear camera....how the heck do you turn a green background this color?  lol

Stitched the stockings in some of the floss I dyed.  I like it.  It's going to sit for a bit while I think about how it will be finished.

The stitching on Yuletide (Plum Street Samplers) is finished, apart from one missing stitch on the tree branch.  The button and charm need to be sewn on, then it will be ready for the finishing pile. 

 Played about with Inktense pencils for the background on Christmas Tree by Prairie Schooler.  Next time, I may think about it BEFORE starting the stitching!

A couple more crochet dishcloths.  These are in half double crochet.  That makes six.  

11, 422 miles is a bit far to travel to a bakery for a hot cross bun, so I made a dozen.  The crosses split, but it made no difference to the taste.  Absolutely delicious and the house smelt like Easter as they were baking.  It's the first time I've made them, but it won't be the last.

Spring cleaning is in full swing.  Grey and I have been rearranging the basement.  I'm been sorting and archiving paperwork  and reorganizing the spare room.  That frees up a filing cabinet, files and plastic sleeves, which will be put to good use in my craft room.  I'm looking forward to getting back to that next week.

All this busyness is just too much for Jenny.  lol
