Projects Completed in a Strange Year

Like many others, I've spent a lot of time at home this year due to the COVID pandemic. 

I’ve finished a number of projects this year and I continue to work on others.  

Shown below:  Fleece throws made for two friends.  Our belated holiday lunch

was postponed first, due to bad weather, then, due to COVID.  I STILL haven't

given these to the friends.  Maybe next year!




Brasstown Boho Skirt.  My own design and a prototype for a possible
future class.


I was attracted to these wood/metal containers at Marshall's due to the Double
Wedding Ring pattern of the metal panels.  I decided that paint was in order.
I like how the boxes turned out!





A few of the masks I’ve made.  Many were distributed to friends and
neighbors.  No pattern.


This was made from a pattern called “Floor Tote”.  The outer fabric (roosters)
is perhaps, my favorite Home Dec fabric ever.  I've made a number of
accessories from this fabric purchased at Joann Fabrics.

Batik carryalls, from an out-of-print pattern, "Great Big Bags".




I used up some extra fabric to make slipcases for the two matching rugs I purchased
from the Agrace Thrift Home Store here in Madison.  I bought the smaller rug first, 
then decided I couldn’t live without matching, larger rug a week later.  You'll have to 
wait to see the rugs.



This is my submission to the 25 Million Stitches Project, a worldwide effort
to bring attention to the plight of migrants.  My piece has been sent to the project
headquarters in California.  The opening exhibit date was moved back a year.
It will take place in the summer of 2021.
