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?

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:


I 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.

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.

SNOW GLOBE ORNAMENT

 I made a Snow Globe ornament for the granddaughter Victoria.  She has been collecting them since she was young - real ones, not felt ornaments.

I got this pattern from whatacurlylife.com along with some more Christmas themed ornament patterns.

I gave it to her today when we went to her and her mother's place for Thanksgiving dinner. And a good dinner it was.
