Playtime -

 

 

This month is usually full of year-end "chores" - 

 

And I want to do some sorting and organizing around my Studio -

 

Update my Scrapbook - 

 

Make some Scrap Cards and Hearts to get caught up on them - 

 

Finish up some bindings and labels - 

 

And other odds and ends - 

 

SO - 

 

Just for fun - 

 

I have some PLAYTIME planned - 

 

For those times when I need to take a break - 

 

I found this printed panel in my stash - 

 

It's called Opal KaBloom - 

 

And it has a 24" flower on the one side - 

 

 

And two smaller flowers on the other side - 

 

Along with two small squares in the middle - 

The shadows in the photo are fold lines and the frame rails -

Since it's spread out on the insert tables -  

And hasn't been pressed yet -

 

The BLUE on the right will be for the backing - 

But I'll have to piece an "extender" strip to make it wider - 

Since the panel is 44" wide - the same as the backing - 

 

I'll probably start with the small squares and the white/beige flower - 

 

Then quilt the medium-sized flower - 

 

And work my way up to the larger one - 

 

I want to practice smaller - more precise - designs -  

And I want to play with different colors and types of thread -

This will probably be a month-long project - 

Since I'll play with it in between other stuff - 

 

As time allows - ;))

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
