Keeping Busy!!

I started doing some hand embroidery while recuperating from my knee surgeries.  I love these seasonal Kathy Schmitz designs.


These four designs are embroidery in the center, surrounded by a bit of piecing and then an actual tiny mini-quilt attached in the center.



I first did the embroidery on the autumn quilt... you know how much I love fall!!


It went much faster than I thought, and as I was still not able to do the piecing part, I then started on the winter embroidery design.


That went faster than I thought it would, too! :-)


So, then I started making the pieced border and paper pieced tiny mini-quilt, for the winter scene, because I wanted to get it hung on the wall for this season!!


I am very pleased with how it turned out!  And I love the bird hanger, too!!



After I got the winter wall quilt finished, I worked on the border piecing and center tiny mini-quilt for the autumn design.


I am so glad I decided to use stash scraps in seasonal colors to make the borders and center quilt, rather than do them all in the same black and tan mini-prints.



I think the colors add so much and you KNOW my motto, right?



Life's too short not to use all the colors you can!!



Yogiboy says hello and wonders what you all are working on these days!! (Ya gotta love that tiny pink tongue sticking out, right!!)
