Odds and Ends.....

When it comes to sewing lately I feel like all I get accomplished  are "odds and ends" and that is what  happened today in the sewing room. 

 

I was going through my pile of quilt tops "to be quilted" and realized the backing for my charity quilt ....

 

 

wasn't big enough to go on a longarm, so I cut it in half and added three rows of fabric similar to the front of the quilt.

 

 

Then before putting the fabric away, I made the binding.

 

 

Then while I was digging around, I found this little needle punch that I had made several years ago (I am ashamed to admit that!) and thought, I am not going through another Fall/Halloween without having this put together in the frame that I already had and get it displayed.  What was I waiting for?  It took no time at all to put it all together.

 

 

Oh, and by the way, the little witch sitting there on the table that I painted numerous years ago.....she is holding a little bouquet of flowers.  I just love her, but my little, 3-year-old grandson looked at her a little differently.  He quietly asked his mom "why is that witch showing her "private parts"?   Good grief....he is looking at her hands thinking it is cleavage.  LOL.... I will never be able to look at her in the same way.  You know.....kids say the darnedest things!

 

So, now I am sitting make some yo-yos to adorn one of the two quilt labels that I made this afternoon, too.

 

 

So, hopefully tomorrow I will be spending a good part of the day in the sewing room again and the first thing I will be doing is applying these little numbers in a floral type arrangement around one of  my quilt labels. 

 

That's it for me today.  Not much, but it's something.  I guess a little progress is better than nothing.
