Saturday Projects

First thought this morning was that I would go to Franklin and visit some quilt shops....but I really needed to do some work around here, so I went to my studio and found a couple of projects to finish up, clean up, and start.

The scarf got finished.  I love how soft it is and those buttons!

I put these two necklaces together, simple really, just adding some charms to chains I got at a clearance sale.

I had wanted to have this blue star finished for the quilt show, but it wrinkled really bad during the quilting process, so today's project was to remove all the the quilting.  I took the left over diamonds from this project and arranged them differently and will making 2 wall hangings.  Me and my ripper settled down, thankfully, the quilting was only straight lines and I had stopped when I realized what was happening.

 It was easier to rip from the underside, between the backing and the bating.

 All stitches removed, quilting marks washed out, ironed, and ready to be quilted again.

Then I went to pick up the purple quilt and took one of the pins and bookmark that I had made to the shop owner as a "thank you" for displaying the quilt.

 I also made dressing for the church dinner tomorrow.  As I was mixing it up, I kept thinking of Mom and how much I loved her dressing.  I would always taste it for her to see if there was enough seasoning.  I asked Adam to be my taster tonight.

I decided not to do the traditional Thanksgiving dinner this year.  Too many memories from last year and the fact that my mom isn't going to be here...so I'm serving chili!
