Every little thing equals progress

I made 5 mini quilts! Yes I did...slow and steady like. These came about because my BEE mate Jen asked for quilted cards. I loved this idea though thought it would be daunting to make something so small. 

I am only supposed to tackle sewing projects in little bits of time, mainly because the posture (as you all know) in sewing can be very muscle fatiguing. 

I would guess about 5 minutes at a time I worked my way through the minis. They are all about 4.25" x 5ish" 

Of course I had a black and white theme!

I wanted tiny frames in black and found a piece of black fleece. Next time I would go for black felt or even black batting. 

I can't wait to see what everyone does for theirs. 

I have received a couple of them so far. In one of the packages was this....

so funny and just what I needed that day. Hmmm wonder where I will use that?

So I started a project a few months ago. I was trying to think how I could do some of what my lqg was challenging which was to do some surface design techniques in quilts. I didn't want to try a big project but thought a mini was the way to go. I love doing some sketching with my sewing machine so I decided to do that and then Inktense watercolor a bit. 

Since it is a mini I didn't have to worry about washing or using any kind of setting agent. 

So I came up with this....

 

It is fellow Beemate Jen from Jennifer under the Juniper Tree.  She has the 'best' dreams and has been making a fabric dream journal this year.  It is her eye in the pic and it was fun to play with the inktense pencils. I was able to finish in time to send it to her for Christmas. 

I am rather proud of getting these few little things done in this crazy unpredictable year. 

From my house (um...yard) to yours...

I hope you have a love filled Christmas and I hope for good things to come in 2021!
