NEW PROJECTS IN PROGRESS

 I have been working on some wall hangings.  I have several Victorian Lady blocks that I have been fine-tuning with laces and ribbon.  They make perfect subjects for Craft Morning every Thursday since I can hand-quilt and hand-bind the blocks in one way or another.

This working title is Lady Blue.  I hand-quilted the block and now I am hand sewing the binding.  It makes a good Craft Morning project.

I have decided that I will use Fat Quarters for all the backings.  They will be large enough to bring forward for the binding which I can sew by hand.  

They will all be about 15" to 16" square.  A nice size for hanging on a door.   I have one on my bathroom door.  I live alone so it's perfect for the 'lady's room' designation.  I mentioned my 'lady's room' idea to the other gals and they liked the idea.  I have 14 of these Victorian lady blocks left.  I intended to use them for a large bed quilt, but I don't make the biggies any longer.  No room to maneuver a big quilt in this small apartment.  I am also at the age when working a large quilt is just too difficult.  I now make small things, like wall hangings and door hangings.

 I think I will gift one to each of our regular craft ladies for her bathroom sign.

This one is Lady Pink for now.  I need to sew down the lacy bits before I can start the hand-quilting.  

And my favorite.......

My she-dragon is satin-stitched and I have been playing with colored pencils to find which I like best.  I also tried colored markers but I don't think they will work for the shading I have planned.  I want more subtle colors. 

I need to get bold and start the shading but I am a bit wary of making an error.  I may have to practice for another day or so before I begin the dragon herself.

Well my friends, it's my day of rest so I can make the decisions tomorrow.  Stay safe.
