I continue to get joy from seeing the series of Letโ€™s Play mini quilts, I made last year.
Every month I hang a different one on my little hanger, to decorate this corner. ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’›
FYI: The series is still available (free), if youโ€™re inspired to play.

โ€ฆBeginning to get the urge to add to the collection! ๐Ÿ˜
Iโ€™ll put some thought into what colours to play with next. ๐Ÿค”

You can see Iโ€™ve been hand stitching with a variety of threads - all in pinks & blues. ๐Ÿฉท๐Ÿ’™

I keep the small container, in my stitching bowl, as a temporary place to keep the thread ends together.

How do you keep your hand stitching tools together?

Isnโ€™t it pretty? ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฅฐ

Have you wondered why Iโ€™ve included a hot air
balloon in the quilt, thatโ€™s full of treasures Iโ€™ve saved, over decades & favourite blocks Iโ€™ve designed over that time?
Wellโ€ฆI explain all that in last weekโ€™s video. ๐Ÿ˜‚
This week, I mostly finish it! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿชก๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ˜
