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.

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!
Linking up with LeeAnna at Not Afraid of Color and also with Angela at SoScrappy.
Lots to look at on your wintery walk! I love your wool penny project —so pretty. The fussy cutting on your EPP block made me smile. Have a good weekend. Gail at the cozy quilter.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gail. The penny project was a joy to stitch. A great palette this time of year. Happy to hear you appreciated my kitties in the EPP block. Have a great weekend!
DeleteWhat beautiful snow sculptures. Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteIt is SOOOOOOO cold right now and will stay that way for the next few days. Only going out for morning walks with Gracie and PT appointments with Mom. Breaking out the crockpot for cozy meals. You stay warm there too!
DeleteLove looking at your snow & snow man & castle..,.,.we are melting in high 20 to mid 30s Celsius!
ReplyDeleteLove the puzzle too...what a gorgeous cross stitch
Doesn't it seem strange that you can be so warm while we are so cold? Boggles the mind sometimes. However, I love that we can play tennis south of the equator this time of year! Cross-stitch & puzzles, keeps a girl from going too stir crazy. There's only so much time I can put into my sewing since my mother doesn't understand that passion. Oh well, there'll be more time to sew later. Have a great end to your week!
DeleteYour EPP and your wool projects both look like a lot of fun! The mini cross stitch, too!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to finish that teensy cross-stitch that I've started another one in that series! YIKES! I must be crazy! Lol! The wool penny project was truly enjoyable.
