One of the projects I've been working on in my private retreat, while DH is out of town, is my September 12x12 for the Alpha-Dorable 12s. I chose the letter T and created a Twisted Twirly Trillium. The flower and the leaves move independently of each other, like a pinwheel blowing in the wind.
I have 24 of these pumpkins to get ready for the quilt retreat at the end of the month. Yesterday I did all the blanket stitching around them, so they are now set to go.
Last night I made these little zippered pouches. They were so easy and fast and I am definitely going to make more of these for gifts. They are really fun.
It has been great having so much focused time to work on projects and get caught up as well as getting projects ready to take to the quilt retreat the end of the month.
After cleaning up my sewing room this morning and vacuuming and dusting I headed outside to do some more work around the yard.. Got all the grasses and weeds away from butting up against the house, raked up and hauled to the ever growing pile out behind the barn.
Saturday night God called Joyce's husband home. He went quietly with Joyce and their oldest son by his side. He will be missed, but all are rejoicing he is no longer suffering and filled with disease. Heaven is a better place with his wonderful voice joining the choir there.
Now I'm relaxing to the DVD The Whales of August. Such a good story.
I love it all...trilliums, pumpkins, pouches, and beautiful photos. My favorite is the rustic building, I think.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing about Joyce's hubby celebrating in his new body in that oh so wonderful choir.
Hi Barb, You are very busy!!! So happy your enjoying your retreat!!!! I love what your making. Love those little zip pouches. Do you have a pattern for those or did you just make them up by yourself? If there is a pattern , I'd love if you could tell me where I could get that pattern. Love your pictures! Hugs Morgan oxoxoxoxo
