Happy , happy Monday. Did you have a fantastic weekend? I sure hope so. Hubby and I went on our first camping trip for the year. So I was over the moon. Now it was pretty cold , but I was as snug as a bug in a rug in the camper with two heaters going. I took a couple of quilt books , some quilts, and some stitching to pass the days away as hubby fished. I also day dreamed of new projects to start.
So today, fabrics were pulled.
Strips of fabric were cut.
But the sewing has not commenced . That will be saved for tomorrow, but I have an idea swirling in my head, and hopefully it will all pull together.
The binding was put on today with red, white and pink ticking looking fabric.
None of the scraps were measured when making this snowman. It was a fun make do project. Had to put the puppy fabric on the snowman. Lol. It is different.
So where is Vinny Valentine going to be displayed? In the foyer on a wreath on the door. Doors are favorite spots for me to display quilts. I have to have something on the door. No naked doors for me. Or maybe I am using that as an excuse to make another quilt. The wreath is an old Christmas wreath with white ribbon wrapped around it. An old chalkboard is placed in the center.
Are you doing any winter quilting? I would love to hear about your projects. Well hopping off to go do a little stitching. Have a fabulous week with lots of quilting and stitching. And as always...
Happy Quilting
