I thought that I would never get these finished. I had made the first one about three years ago when I bought my Sapphire. The place was having a little class. Materials were provided. About a year ago, I saw the same fabric in a sale bin. I thought, ‘Why not.’ I looked around and found the same ribbon and I knew I had fleece batting. I managed to cut out five more placements. I sewed on ribbon untill I ran out. I started with a double needle that proceeded to make me crazy so I reverted to a zigzag stitch. My lines aren’t all that straight, but I think the embroidery helps detract. And, of course, I couldn’t put the same thing on each one. I was thoroughly bored after four designs so I stopped. They refused to go together nicely and I did some chopping and some swearing, but I think they were worth the effort.
And what’s next? I’ve been thinking. Sweetums could use a little quilt for his nightstand. I have one on mine that he thinks is pretty nifty. I also want to make a fleece tunic. I need to make a new pattern. With everything moved around, I couldn’t find my pattern boxes. Do I need to make any Christmas gifts? ARRGHH!!
