Worked, Working, Work

That's me alright.
Busy, Occupied, Industrious 
snicker, snicker
First, WORKED


on this this morning.
These Chisel pieces were upholstery samples
that we cut with our GO! chisel die.
I was playing to see what design could be made
aside from the obvious saw-tooth picket fence.

I'm satisfied with the results. 
Now,  what to do with it.
Pillow top?

Second, item I am WORKING on
is this Vintage Hand Towel.
taken from

All that's left to finish: hide those loose ends,
bind off strap,
and find a button large enough for the HOLE .
Well, then, of course, a pair of freshly washed hands.

The next is what I need to WORK on.

I'm using a Jelly Roll - unidentified -
will use randomly wavy rows between striped rows.
My Plan is pinned at the upper left.

It appears that the snow may have passed Jeff City right on by
this time.
Hope this 43 degree temp today does
transform to the fifty and sixty degree weather predicted for week's end.

Hugs

  4. Yes I was looking for that block info, and it's the lite,dark placement that makes it work. In think I want to make a quilt out of this pattern. Do you have any more info for rotary cutting it?

  5. Aaaaah, so that's a chisel block. Your setting is quite striking. The towel really turned out great. The project to be is going to be cool too. I still don't think you sleep if you get all this accomplished and I don't.

  10. Hi Gerry,

    You could turn the quilt square into a "mini quilt" if you don't want a pillow. That knitted hand towel is so very pretty. And I love the wavy rows jelly roll plan.

    Thanks so much for visiting with me!
    Hugs,
    Stephanie ♥

  12. Thank you for your comment on my blog Gerry. I was a feeling a bit sorry for my self when I wrote it but thought what the heck and hit publish. I am glad I did :-)
    I admire your neat handywork, I would have made such a hash of all those striaght lines, which is probably why I needle felt rather than sew :-)
