Monday Making

I am still plugging away on my King's Cross quilt.

I'm using ALL greens and the alternate blocks are cream with a little red.

I am ALMOST out of the cream and red in my stash.

Unbelievable....but true.

As you can see they are a mix of fabrics.

A scrappy, controlled mix.

I just LOVE the colors.

Kind of Christmassy and yet it's a classic ALL year kind of palette.

I'm also doing some NECESSARY work.

At least that's what I'm telling myself.

These poor little handmade snowmen....

Made by the kids long ago.... had lost their beanies.

My job is to get those poor icy heads COVERED!!!

I had fun whipping up the navy beanie.

The next one will be a reddish color.

Necessary. Necessary. Work.
