I have finished a few small projects that have been hanging around way too long. The first one is a Christmas present for my daughter. It is the softest alpaca and she has been impatiently waiting for it once she snuck a peek at it. She has to wait a little longer though. I just needed to rinse it out and it will be ready for the stocking.
I also finished and delivered to our guild a little doll quilt and remembered at the last minute to take a picture of it. ( not a great picture) It turned out large enough for the doll and the girl to snuggle under-about 24×36.
At lastly, I finished this small piece last night. I had wanted to practice some “extreme” stitching before I started another piece and this worked out really well for that. I also had wanted to try to mount something to a canvas and last week I found this little pre-painted canvas from Michael’s (yes, always use the coupon) which would work for it. Again, I had an awful time trying to photograph this morning as it is dark and rainy.

I enjoyed how it turned out and have a few more canvases to try this again. I’d like to have four to mount together on a wall. And re-take the photos will be added to the to-do list.
Felt good to finish something as it has been awhile. I have my sister’s quilt assembled on the design wall so next up this week will be sewing the top together.
Happy sewing. It really is peaceful to sew.
LOVE THAT NEW PIECE. well specifically the black and white part. its so barbwirey and industrial! or photographyesque.
Nice work Colleen!
Lovely! and congratulations on your finishes!
