MIGHT BE INTERESTING

 I chanced washing the little fabric squares of the found African fabrics.  I added a Color Catcher and caught a little red which I thought might happen.  But, there was little to no ravelling of the edges.  

I pressed the wrinkles out and put them up on the wall.

It looks better than I thought it would!  Now I'm thinking about what color to use as the filler.  Maybe different colors for each area?

FOUND FABRICS

 When I was looking around for something else, I came across a bunch of African fabric sample pieces.  What a treasure.  What shall I do with them?

ANOTHER BEAD PAGE

 I've finished another bead page.  This will be the last one like this.  Soon I need to start on the edgings.

STORAGE FOR THREAD

 I've had storage boxes for my Aurifil thread for years now.  But I was stacking the boxes on top of each other and it was a pain to pull out the one I wanted and to put it back in it place afterward.  Then I saw that Darrell had made himself a a cabinet for his little storage boxes and offered to make one for my aurifil boxes.

And here it is:

It is very nice!  But, I have more than just Aurifil thread.  I have a lot of Wonderfil, too.  And, since there is room in the boxes I've decided to incorporate them all together.  I think I'll sort them by color using the Joen Wolfrom color cards.  And I have space for 24 boxes, which coincides with Joen's number of color categories.  However, I will need a separate box for neutrals.

This will be so nice!

BEADING PAGES

 I'm making progress on my beading pages.  And I think I'm getting a little better at the whole process of beaded embroidery.

MORE BEAD PAGES

 I finished two more bead pages.

JINNY'S QUILT IS DONE

I sewed the newly made binding onto the back, then pressed it to the side and top-stitched it down on the front.  This quilt is done.  I've been calling it Jinny's Beach Blanket.  Terri Nussbaum who came up with this quilt design called them "Beach Blanket Bingo".  I think this quilt deserves a better name.  But, I can't think of anything.  But, the fabrics I used that have the border prints on them are a Jinny Beyer fabric.  

So it's Jinny's quilt, it is 55" by 72".     

It is finish #18 for the year.
