All in Good Time...

Yesterday turned out to be a torrential Monday...it rained like there was no tomorrow!  What's a girl to do but stay in her Sewing Room and weather the storm!

First I needed to tidy up the mess from that little red, brown and beige table mat!  I had strips of fabric hanging from the rafters!  There were tons of  left-over 1 1/2" strips left from making the piano key border.  What to do with them?  Before I could shove them into a bag and 'forget-about-em', I had this Cheri pattern out and started sewing...It's called 'Log Cabin Christmas' and it's been calling my name!
 Some of the middle strips needed to be cut narrower but that was easy to do!
 Then I remembered THIS FRAME!  Eureka!  With the addition of one more dark strip it fit perfectly!  Loved it!  But I want this frame up all year...and with the holly leaves in the pattern it is just too Christmasy...so I need to tweak the motif.
Yup...that's the job for TODAY!  I will keep you posted...

However...there is nothing but BLUE SKIES today...not a cloud in sight and the sunshine looks glorious!  The pup needs grooming and I NEED a long walk...a really long walk....I might have to finish this off tomorrow....:o))  All in good time...right?

Have a Terrific Tuesday and Happy Stitching!_P

  6. That rain was just getting to be too much. Thankfully it's sunny and a good day to do anything (like buying a new fridge). I love this pattern, in fact, I ordered it yesterday. Your block looks great framed, no tweaking required. I say hang it as is.
