Back in the saddle!

Ok, its not a saddle.. will explain in a minute.
The day before yesterday, I  started working on this with the idea that it would be a great gift for some of our neighbors.
I soon realized that it wasn't something that I wanted to make at least 6 of... then I decided that a pair of bowl cozies might be a better idea.  I haven't started them yet -- need to get cotton batting first.
Last night, I decided that I would try to load a couple dresser scarves onto Mo'e figuring that I  could work on them in small bits of time as my legs and back would allow.. .this was my referral to being back in the saddle again.
I have two identical scarves...I am loading them onto the same backing and batting...but only loading one scarf at a time.  After I finish the first one, I'll turn the rollers until I have enough empty space for the second one - the scarves each are only 15" wide and the backing fabric is something like 42" --- and, there will be enough left from the backing fabric to cut bias strips for binding.

And, now, I'm taking a rest while taking the time to write and post this... and would have been done sooner if not for annoying survey calls and the distraction of a tv program lol.

On that note, I'm going to close this up and finish watching the program ( Long Lost Family ) 

take care....

  1. The little snowman hanger is adorable! I can see why you might not want to make 6 of them, though. The bowl cozies sound like a good idea. I need to make some of those for us!

What to work on next

 I finished the two gift quilts - and both have been delivered to a parent of the little girl recipient. I have the requested photo from one...
