Autumn Fireworks finished...



...and put into my ETSY shop My hand is doing just great, and I am finished with the therapy and only have to do regular exercises at home for about a month. I was delighted to get three sales in the shop in the last couple weeks, but that also makes me anxious to get to work and fill the empty spots. I wanted to get at least 50 items available before I relaxed about it and allowed myself to do some personal quilting--LIKE THAT DARNED KING-SIZE BED QUILT-before another winter goes by!!

Bookmarks, and back to that green quilt...

Made good use of my DH's laminator and put together some neat bookmarks for my ETSY stash. I fused only, as stitching would make it too lumpy. Had the beads already handy and loads of small pieces of ribbon. (Never throw anything away, right??)




Then I took a break from little things, and did that last big block on my green forest theme sampler quilt. I put all the pieces on the bedroom rug to see if I could get a feel for the order I prefered. Moved them around a whooooole bunch and decided on this.



Now I have to make the insert pieces and sashes and binding, etc, etc. It never ends, thank goodness. Such fun.
