Posting a day late, but most of yesterday we were up in Seattle, at first the Children's Museum, then at the Space Needle! Both of which the boys greatly enjoyed.
I've kept working on the Santas cross stitch, and hope to finish it in the next week.
The top two Santas are completely finished. Bottom right needs his topstitch detail lines. Bottom right needs Santa's and the doll's skin done, the topstitch details, and the snow in the background. I did opt to go for four different skin tones instead of all the Santas being lily pale.
Other than that... I've finally sewn the minky binding onto the red/cow print charity quilt. And I have sworn never to work with minky again. It is difficult to sew, felt like an oil slick against my hands by the time it was finished, and it will spend its life shedding microplastics into the environment. Blech.
I also pulled a blouse and a skirt off the mending pile and got them taken care of. Five minutes to fix, five months to work up to the actual fixing. Why am I like this sometimes?
Oh, and I took a bit of black I'd gotten from the treasure table at last week's guild meeting and used it to make 6.5" rail fence blocks. I have more black that I need to find, and a ton more precut strips to use up. Project, go!
