"BABY ITS COLD OUTSIDE"  is finished.  It measures 16.5 by 16.5 inches square.

Its a winter door hanging so can be used from Nov thru Feb.  I have Xmas Door Hangings I can use for December.

I have also been sketching.

This one is a rabbit and a mouse sledding down a snowy hill.  The sketch is done and the numbers added.  I will be pulling fabric for this one next week.  It's another that can be used throughout the winter months.

This horse is a Carousel horse.  I love Palomino horses so I chose this color scheme.  I have its accoutrements to add but I think I know what I want.  The horse is tacked down as you can see. 

For the rest of the day, I am going to take it easy from sewing and read, read, read.  

Have a nice weekend.

CAROUSEL HORSE SKETCHES

 I thought I would sketch some carousel horses.  They are a favorite of mine so I tried a few.

Here are a couple of the six I sketched.  From these smaller versions I can make a larger pattern any size I want.

Here is the result of one of them, a Carousel Stander.  This will make a horse about 12 inches square.

I will pull fabrics for this sometime this week.  For today, though, I will be doing some reading.  Four books of the Mrs. Pollifax series of mysteries arrived this morning.  Now I have the whole set of 14 books.  

I also need to start a new jigsaw puzzle today since I finished the last one yesterday afternoon.

Have a good day my friends.

Baby Dragon N Friend Door Hanging is complete.

 I know, I know, its been a while since I posted.  I just haven't been very productive in the quilting department.  Today I have a new door hanging to show you.

Here he is.  "Baby Dragon n Friend" has finally arrived.  This measures 13.5 by 16.5 inches and its finally complete in Sept. 2025.  It was on the shelf for much too long, now its on my front door.

 I have not been idle.  I have been sketching many things lately.  The latest subject I love is Snoopy.  Yes, he's so cute and I think I can make a few of him with cute little sayings for my doors.

But first, this project which I take to Craft Mornings here every Thursday.  I needed something to work on by hand and was getting tired of crocheting dish cloths.  

This is my Victorian Lady.  I've done it all hand applique and then added laces to it.  It's not quite finished.  I need to add borders and then I will work hand quilting it on Thursdays.  I really need a hand project or two to keep busy.

Now its on to Snoopy drawings.  Its back to machine Replique for me, my favorite method of making wall hangings.  I started this one first.  I love the background fabric.  Its a favorite. 

In this drawing he's sitting in a chair.  

In a hammock.

I have a few ideas for these, but nothing definite chosen for the sayings as yet.

With fall coming on I hope to keep my sewing mojo on track. I have some winter ideas floating in my head as well.  I drew a rabbit and his buddy a mouse sledding.  I think that will be the next project.

Now my friends, I will end this post.  I hope you enjoyed my pictures.

Have a nice day and a wonderful fall season.
