Another daily stitching started

Blogger has made some changes that have to do with the European Privacy issue and of course I have no idea what to do. I've always gotten an email when someone leaves a comment on the blog, I'm no longer getting them. I have to check the blog for comments and then answer on the blog which I find cumbersome, but I guess I'll just have to deal with it and stop complaining.

I did start a new daily stitching, number four in my series of 10 inch squares. This is how it looked before any stitching.

This is the back, with a 10 inch square of felt fused to it. I use felt to give it body so I don't have to use a hoop.

Here it is after the first 7 days.

I'm also making a small rug to go under the kitchen eating area table. The rug that is currently under the table is a rag rug and it's been there several years and is coming apart. I've shopped around a bit and haven't found anything that I really like that is the size I need. So I'm making a quilt to go under the table, my hubby thinks it's a strange idea but every rug we have is fiber of some sort. I'm also making it reversible .

So this is one side, a very simple design in browns.

This is the other side made with the leftovers. It's not completely pieced yet so the picture shows it laying on my cutting table.

I plan on doing very close horizontal lines of quilting. When it's done  I'll get a picture of it in use.

I'll be linking up with "Off the Wall Friday" and "Slow Sunday Stitching".

2018 Daily Stitching #1 done

This morning I finished the stitching on this years first daily stitching project.

I knew I would finish this morning so yesterday I painted the canvas that it will be attached too.

Then after stitching this morning I cut a piece of black fabric and sewed it to the stitched piece right sides together. Trimmed closely and carefully cut a slit in the black fabric and turned it right side out.
Here's the back after trimming, you can just barely make out the stitching line around the edge.

The finished piece  backed and ready to mount.

Placed on the canvas but not yet attached, that will happen later this afternoon.

Here it is with the two pieces that I did last year.

Now I have to get the next one ready to start tomorrow.

2018 Weekly Leaf #21

I have one more green gelli print to stitch and then it is back to botanical prints since there are now fresh leaves available.

I also got the last donation quilt finished this week.

Pulling Weeds and Planting

The title of my post pretty much sums up my week. I spent a whole lot of time pulling weeds, I will admit that it's my fault, if I hadn't put off doing it for a few years it wouldn't have been so bad. But now the backyard is looking much better and some of my garden has been planted.

My sewing machine has not been turned on in over a week, so nothing new to show.
