It's getting to be that time of year again. My friend Janine LOVES Halloween and all things Halloween. She loves Halloween as much as I love Christmas. Since Halloween is coming before Christmas, I stopped working on my NOEL after I finished the "E" so that I could work on a mini wall hanging to give her. I changed up this mini wall hanging to reflect Janine's artificial leg. She never did get the ones which looked like a real leg and just uses the metal one. I thought she needed it to be represented in the wall hanging. I just need to sew on the skirt and then see how I want to hand quilt it. Hand quilting since my sewing machine is still not working.
The back of it will probably be the same material that I used for the skirt and shoes. I wanted the skirt to look more like the shoes but I put my fusible on the wrong side of the fabric. So the skirt is the "right" side of the fabric and the shoes are the "wrong" side of the fabric. I actually like the wrong side better. The back will probably be the "right side out" and I might use the wrong side for the binding. We'll see. It will be a challenge to quilt it also. I haven't done hand quilting before so I am counting on her poor eyesight to ignore my mistakes. Actually Janine won't care but I will do my best anyway.
I finished up the "e" on my NOEL which is exciting since I only have one more letter to do now.
Once finished, the NOEL will be my second Christmas related cross stitch that I finished this year. That is exciting because that is TWO (2) UFOs done.
Today is September 11 and I don't have to tell too many people the significance of September 11 to the USA. I chose to dwell on positive things though so instead I shall say Happy Birthday to my friend Theresa and thanks you to all the first responders and everybody that helped get us through that experience.
I did find this nice picture of a flag that I will share.
Just a snippet of a flag but I know what it represents and what it stands for. Enough of being serious. it is late in the night and I go to bed without bad thoughts. How do I do that? I watch old TV shows that make me laugh or look at cute pictures. Tonight is a cute picture. Take a look at this cute little guy. Doesn't he look like a wind up toy?
I hope that put a smile on your face and that today was a good day. I'll see you on the next update. I might have my next Halloween project (cross stitch I think) picked out by then.
