I headed out yesterday morning to cut some more pieces of wood to play with on the lathe. I want to make some fancy ornaments! Practice will be the key! On the left are several pieces of Cypress, the center pieces are of Live Oak and the two on the right are from a downed Poplar tree. It was 52F which is chilly for us but the wind was very brisk
so I had on a sweatshirt--not something I often wear!
Back at the house I finished quilting this on the frame and then picked out some fabric for binding.
I will apply it this morning, I hope!
I did play with some more of the shadow blocks-
-only two more rows to go!
It's nice to have so many hobby options to keep you busy and productive. Never a dull moment when you are able to make such a variety of projects. We were also in the 50's this morning. I wore a turtleneck sweater and a light jacket for the first time this season.
