I had a busy weekend. I didn’t spend much time handquilting. The entire blue center is completed. #startrek #quilting #tablerunner #handquilting #applique

As a break from complicated sewing (making a silk satin lining and handstitching it into my quilted jacket, which I feel like I have been doing for the past several centuries) I made a mini felt ornament for a friend using applique and embroidery. One of my most enjoyable makes so far this year!

The sun rays are colonial knots using 4, 2, and 1 strand of embroidery floss, respectively. The pith of the orange slices is satin stitch and split stitch. The ornament is lightly stuffed with cut-up fabric scraps.

That's what crabs were called by certain small persons in my household, so now we all call them that.

My mother-in-law adored gnomes. In her honor, I always incorporate them into Christmas.

To find the Light in everyone
Keep the faith and bang the drum
On the longest night of the year."
