Mary Corbet's Wreath with Candle ornaments

 APIP#5 - Embroidered Wreath with Candle - This a pattern designed by Mary Corbet with a few modifications I made - primarily adding beads and sequins.  I do love the sparkle it gives them when hanging on the Christmas tree. Mary also used a white candle against her beautiful linen background.  I chose the red candle for mine. I made three of these - one for my tree, one to give to friends and family at Christmas and one to give to my guild for the Christmas Arts and Crafts festival. 

APIP#1 - Meryton; Finished up the fourth block of the Border block 1. Now I can begin prepping the applique pieces for Border Blocks 2

APIP#2 - Bloom and Sew - Gail Pan 2025 BOM;  Received the February block this past week and started working on the stitcheries.  There are 6 to do, and I finished 2 of them.  I have not trimmed them up yet and they still have the Stick and Stich on them, but the stitchery is complete.

APIP#4 Joseph's Coat of Many Colors;  Have completed Vertical row #1 and most of #2. Have all the blocks done for Row 2, but still need to do the connector triangles and sew the block to each other.  I finally decided on a circle for the block centers.  I thought I would go with a black and white polka dot, but change my mind again today to go with a Lori Holt fabric - white background with little 6-petal flowers of many colors.  I think the black and white polka dot looked better, but the quilt is for a young girl and I just did not want to put that much black on the quilt.

With this post, I am down to just three projects in progress and have completed 6 others this year.  The three I still have going will take awhile to complete.
