I just finished sewing the binding on my postcard quilt. I'm torn between keeping it and selling it. I'd forgotten how pretty it is. :)



That's beautiful.

Yes, beautiful. How many fabrics?
In conclusion, I can leave you with no better advice than that given after every sermon by Msgr Vincent Giammarino, who was pastor of St Michael's Church in Atlantic City in the 1950s:

    "My dear good people: Do what you have to do, When you're supposed to do it, The best way you can do it,   For the Love of God. Amen"

I bought a bunch of the squares pre cut, and added fabrics from my stash.

And I've just sold the dolls that I painted! I feel so accomplished. ;)

Next I'll be cutting down my featherbed cover, to fit my queen-size featherbed. Not looking forward to this one, since it involves taking the cover off of the old featherbed and transferring it to the new one.
My Lord and my God.

I've been wood carving. Getting better, little by little.

Made the mistake of switching insurance companies. Now the miserable SOBs insist that I paint my woodshed. It's cold and rainy but that's what the Mrs and I are working on. And we've hardly quarreled at all. ;)

I had the day off so I spent it carving. Here's some of the stuff I've done recently.

(bonus Gandalf included)

The Curt Jester

Very nice work.  Isn't Gandalf's head a little big?   ;D
The royal feast was done; the King
Sought some new sport to banish care,
And to his jester cried: "Sir Fool,
Kneel now, and make for us a prayer!"

The jester doffed his cap and bells,
And stood the mocking court before;
They could not see the bitter smile
Behind the painted grin he wore.

He bowed his head, and bent his knee
Upon the Monarch's silken stool;
His pleading voice arose: "O Lord,
Be merciful to me, a fool!"

Well, he is a Maia, afterall.  ;D

Wow, those are so beautiful!!

Would you ever take a commission for a folk-art cookie cutter rolling pin?
I am sorry for the times I have publicly criticized others on this forum, especially traditional Catholic religious, and any other scandalous posts and pray that no one reads or believes these false and ignorant statements.

Thank you! I wouldn't be comfortable taking anyone's money at the moment, and maybe never. I'm a beginner with chip carving so I have a long way to go before I would have such confidence in my work.
