Besides tackling new to me care giver duties and chores he normally does, I got side tracked with a new project. The local quilt shop is sponsoring another Christmas Mystery. I love a good mystery and couldn't resist playing along. Clue one came out the Saturday before the surgery, so I didn't get to that till this last weekend.

Two gingerbread guys. I may embroider some more "icing" later. And then this week's block is

A mug. I'm not sure I'm really happy with how this one worked out. I may redo it before the next clue comes out.
Other then these three blocks, not much else got done in the sewing room. I need to get serious about getting Vintage Dresses bound or I'm not going to reach my OMG for October. I'll get on that tonight.
Linking up with Monday Making and Design Wall Monday.
This is adorable! I can see why you were distracted. I hope your Guy heals quickly!
ReplyDeletecute ginger guys - hope all goes well with recovery
ReplyDeletehope your guy heals quickly and it was not too serious - good luck in taking on his chores too!
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are putting me in the mood to drag out the boxes of Christmas fabrics. I need that because I have several stockings to make by next month.
ReplyDeleteI love those gingerbread men!
ReplyDeleteCute gingerbread men blocks! Glad the healing is going well. Have a great week, Kate!
ReplyDeleteHappy and fast healing! Totally understand why you've been distracted! Love the gingerbread men...and I love the embroidered 'icing' idea!
ReplyDeleteVery cute blocks. I’ll be looking forward to seeing you work this one up.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with the binding!! I'm SEW looking forward to seeing that Vintage Dresses quilt completed.
ReplyDeleteBoth Christmas blocks are so cute--and I like that Chmas mug--the fabrics are neat together!!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that hubby is on the mend and that you are doing a great job in taking care of him and his chores!!
luv, di
PS I am back to stitching each day again--
though I think I missed 19 days in Sept--never thought it would be that long--but moving and then packing up DD for her move did not leave time nor energy to stitch!!
I like your Christmas blocks! The coffee mug could have a little steam curling off the top (with embroidery) if you wanted to enhance the "mug" image, was one thought of mine. The gingerbread boys are my favorite because I have made so many of them in Christmas seasons in the past. Thanks for sharing your beautiful work. Christmas is coming soon, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteLove those gingerbread men! Too cute!
ReplyDeleteOMG these are just fantastic Kate! I have been thinking hmm, what Christmas symbols could I do for a quilt, and do them in a non-traditional way....
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for a full recovery for your Guy.
ReplyDeleteThe gingerbread men are really cute, as the cup. Good luck on meeting your goals this week! The holidays are about to smack us hard, right?
Those are awfully cute, but you know there are only seven days left, right? I'm just sayin'....... lol
ReplyDeleteGreat blocks and hope you’ve had the stitching time you wanted this week!
