Monday Update ~

 

I've decided each Monday in September, I will do an update on my ambitious project list.  I figure it will help keep me on track 😊

Primitive Gobbler - bind - label

Jack's Crow - bind - label

Santa - hook - bind - label

Scaredy Cat - pattern to linen - hook - bind - label

Pumpkin for wood box - pattern to linen - hook - bind - label

Acorns - pattern to linen - hook - bind 

Hand torn pumpkins - patterns to linen - hook - patchwork back

Horse mat - applique

5" pumpkin - applique

RLS pumpkin - find kit (!) - applique

Here is progress so far.

Primitive Gobbler ~ DONE 👍👍👍  I darkened three of the feathers . . . but in the picture they are still showing a bit bright but not in person.

Last Sunday I was bragging how quickly Santa was hooking up.  Well, not sure what happened . . . but I am finally close.  I need some kind of beauty line to define his mustache.  I was hoping how I hooked it would work but obviously does not.

Pumpkin for the wood box.  It's only 4 1/2" x 12" so a quickie.  

Since it's in the box, I cheated and did not use binding.  I just turned back the linen and stitched down.

Horse mat.  The background wool is an old army blanket and the horse is an old (army?) blanket, too.  I've used neither for applique  before and it may be the first and last time.  It's much more of an effort to stitch through the heavy wools and my arthritic thumb is not liking it.

We are getting some much needed rain today.  My grass and flowers are doing a happy dance.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊
