I finished Juniper's stocking! I was going to stitch sparkly beads to the cuff, then I realized that she might pull them off and put them in her mouth. Instead, I stitched little snowflakes (or stars) in a silver thread.
I also made a few of these paper-pieced ornaments from a pattern in an old magazine. Every year I make a different type of ornament to give to family.
If you've never paper pieced, this is what you're looking at as you sew, above, and the bottom photo shows the right side before the extra fabric is trimmed off. You have to think upside down, which is a little confusing at first.
And yes, this triple chocolate cake IS connected to quilting. Nancy and I went on a little shop hop yesterday and had the cake for dessert after lunch. It was delicious!
Have a colorful day
