Projects in Progress

 Hi everyone. Happy Sunday to you.

I'm having a relaxing weekend; I hope you are enjoying yours also.

Lately I've been back into my sewing machine. Funny I go months and don't touch it except maybe to stitch a line or two on a page, and then I suddenly get the urge to sew.I'm back in a sewing mood, and have started a couple of arty projects that will, eventually, most likely turn into cloth books.

While going through things in the spare bedroom project, I came across a bunch of vintage lace pieces I've collected over the years. I'm using some with some stiff felt squares I also found while cleaning. I'm trying to keep things in neutral shades (white, greyu, brown glack). These are far from finished, as you might be able to tell from these next photos. 

I've stitched down the bits on a few of these, and some of them are just laid out waiting for hand stitching. Or perhaps I will change my mind about how I will lay them out. 

And here's a couple closer to being finished with everything stitched down either by machine or by hand. They still need something, but I haven't figured out what that is yet.  They might still need a bit of edge trimming however.

Here's a couple that are finished, unless I have another idea for them.

Last weekend when my daughter was home we took a trip to Joanne's Fabrics. They were having their fat quarters 10 for $10, so I picked up a few that were the right colors for Halloween. They also had Halloween fabric on sale, so I picked up a 1/3 of a yard of a couple of different ones I liked.

You can probably guess I am thinking of making a Halloween  book. Here's a couple of started backgrounds.

Ideas are rolling around in my head for both of these fabric projects. Any suggestions?

Enjoy what's left to your weekend.
