One Strip of Neutral Geese

I don't have much in the way of brown, tan, beige - neutral scraps, but I did find one set that could work for my geese. 

 

Now off to the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.

 

So we are having a 4 day rain event here, but nothing like Texas. Good luck to you all.

 

Hugs,

Terri

Finished my Five Blue Flying Geese

I haven't made any of these in neutrals yet, but I still have time.

Now for some pictures of my plants. Currently some orchids blooming.  (Or kids)

 This African Violet blooms almost all the time. Watered from the bottom, and in a bright window - as bright as it gets here. (Rarely sunny - the eclipse was just a little darker on a dark, overcast day.)

Some of the little plants started for Halloween... not going to do that plant give away anymore. Here it is too hard to start the plants, and no sunny window spaces in this house. Here is a Christmas cactus on the left middle, a Hoya started from a leaf in a glass of water, and a Mother-in-law's Tongue with two little sprouts. That one I thought was not going to make it, the cutting fell mostly out of the dirt, but it was hanging on by one root, so I left it.

 

Happy Hump Day,

Hugs,

Terri

Some More Blue

Worked on the blue Flying Geese that I couldn't make while the machine was having surgery.

 

 Last week we went to visit these lovely people... Cece and her hubby Zig. She is my hubby's cousin.

This is their teenaged swan. 

We went fishing and rode ATVs - I taste tested some home made whiskey!!! We had lots of fun.

So next up is to finish the geese, and I'll want to make some low volume neutral ones as well... but I did find a Vulcan Alphabet pattern source at Fandom In Stitches. The patterns are paper piecing, but you knew that.  Give it a look see.

So I'm off to the Rainbow Scrap Challenge . Come by and see what others are making... in neutrals.

Have a lovely weekend.

Fandom In Stitches

Finished a blue, and started a tan

Since I got my sewing machine back from the fixit place, I've been working on the butterflies...

Still in pieces, but only 4 seams left.

 I'm so happy with my sewing machine. It is working so nicely, except the light.  They said they fixed it, but it's not working. There is a warantee on the work, so back it goes. Should be able to fix it while I wait, shouldn't they?

So come along to the Rainbow Scrap Challenge to see the other neutrals being shown.

Happy Weekend,

Terri

She's Baaaack...

Got her back out of the hoose-gow....

She is now making beautiful stitches of the correct length, AND the light is lit!  I can't figure out what to sew first.

Have a wonderful sewing weekend... I am.

Hugs,

Terri

Not Doin' Nuthin'

You will notice there is no blue butterfly here...
I've got the pattern all set up to sew... #1s are in place on the paper piecing patterns, but no sewing. Machine is in the shop. I'm cutting 2.5" squares of color in an attempt to not go screaming down the street. So far it's purples from the scrap bin.  I'm thinking of a circle of squares quilt - found an easy pattern at Kathy's Quilts.  I've saved it on "favorites" for a while now.

Here is the stack so far. Doing it in front of the TV with a little lap desk and cutting mat.

Pretty orange flowers in my back yard.

and my potted rose (from CA - a cutting) blooming again this year.

 

Have a lovely weekend

Hugs,

Another

Just finished another yellow butterfly. This one (with the orange) is made the way the pattern is built... lots of pieces.

 

 New one shown next to the cheater. Same pattern, but the all yellow is made by ignoring all kinds of little pieces. I like it better than the orangy one.

 The close up shows I made the body wrong.... oh well.  Individuals may vary!

 

 

 

Starting a blue one. Notice I got the crayons out and marked the blue parts. This will be a cheater, too. I like them better.  Wings on the right, body on the left. Hope I can finish it before Saturday.

Hugs,

Terri
