The weather last Sunday was georgeous. Wearing short sleeves, we put up the Christmas lights up outside while soaking up the sunshine. As I say every year, I can't believe the holiday season is upon us again. I hope everyone who celebrates Thanksgiving has a great day with family and friends....and don't eat too much turkey.
I made the mistake of trimming the bushes over my wallhanging and didn't realize fuzz with wonderunder residue was dropping all over my quilt. When I did a final pressing to make sure that all the pieces were secure before adding the border.........I had a mess on my hands. Several of the white areas where spectaled and dirty looking. I tried flicking it off with my fingernail, no luck. Valuable time was used to carefully remove the white frame areas around the windows. Since I had just given them a good pressing, it was a little trying to peel them off without taking the darker material for the windows as well. Finally, I traced and replace them. Also, I had to clean the goop off my iron.......a valuable lesson well learned.
I decided to put a thin white border around the picture before I put the wider border around it.
Mmmm...I wasn't sure about the brown.
The blue didn't excite me.
This was a maybe.
After considering several choices, I settled on the above.
My youngest sister leaves in Nome, Alaska with her family. This picture was taken on the edge of town looking north. I think I would miss the trees living in Nome.
