I Like Thurs #166 and RSC Pink Update

Sorry to disappoint but there was no pink sewing this week. There just wasn't time for that. I did start thinking about how I wanted to quilt the pink top I finished last week but that's only been a thought process with nothing to show.

As for things that I've liked this week, Saturday I took a Zoom class with The Applique Society group. Our teacher was Tina Craig and she was wonderful. She is a master at English paper piecing and has a "Wonder Window" tutorial that gets you precise positioning of the motifs on your fabric. Here's the block I almost completed. I guess it's got a little pinky-coral in there!?!?!


I also finished up a wool table mat, sewing up lots of pennies. It's a pattern by Primitive Gatherings called Winter Penny Mat. I'd bought the kit a while ago. I like working with wool.

We had quite a lot of snow lately. I've enjoyed seeing some of the winter projects in our neighborhood. Gracie admired a lot of it too!




I happily worked on my seashells puzzle while the freezing temperatures persisted all week. It was finished up this week too! There's pink in there too!

With Valentine's Day less than a month away, I decided to get started decorating for the next holiday. The lacy hearts were made by my friend, Vickie, with her embroidery machine.

There has been a long-running cross-stitch project. It is SO TINY! I finally finished it up and it needs a good press.
I'll take another picture when it's in its proper setting.

I'm enjoying the Australian Open. It's been a bright spot on my TV watching. I sure do like the major tennis tournaments. "The Nightingale" by Krisitin Hannah is still getting my attention too. What a great book. I'm under 100 pages left and I imagine the pages will really start flipping by! Lol!

I'll see about getting to work on some RSC Pink this next week and report back in on whatever progress I make. Have a great week!
