I Like Thursday #298


It's time for I Like Thursday! Please visit LeeAnna over at Not Afraid of Color to find more participating blogs that are posting positive posts today. Now that I'm done quilting Laurel Ridge, I'm back to working on Facets. These blocks are 6.5" square. This round is all pink! These are so fun to make. I have to make 44 blocks to complete this round. Only 2 round left after this one!


Speaking of Laurel Ridge, the binding is all ready to be sewn on! I have my binding baby keeping it nice for me until I'm ready to sew! The binding fabric was part of the quilt kit.


One of my favorite decorations is this deer my neighbors put up every year. This deer is so elegant! I love his festive red ribbon! It's quite windy today so that's the best picture I can take!


This week's prompt asks how we calm ourselves during holiday stress. I guess my answer is that I start buying gifts early. Also, as the holiday nears, I make sure to make time for myself even if it's just reading or sewing when I can. Things don't always run smoothly during the holidays so you just do the best you can. You just need to remember that it will all turn out to be okay!!

Have a great weekend!

  3. You are getting close to finishing Facets, Rosemary...only two more rounds to go. Bindng baby looks more fun that my plastic bag taped to the sewing table. Your neighbor's deer looks so nice in the yard. It is a very simple, but sweet decoration.

    1. Thanks, Jeanna! It's so much easier to make these blocks now that it's my only project. I couldn't resist buying binding baby when I saw her!

  5. Those Facets blocks are so interesting. They look fiddly; are they? That is the cutest binding holder and pretty fabric. Happy Stitching!

    1. Thanks, Jocelyn! Yes, I find these blocks are rather challenging but I made a few pieces into paper piecing and find them much easier to make now.
