New Christmas Ornament - Snowflake Wreath

APIP #10 - Snowflake Ornament;  Today I started a new design by Mary Corbet for a Snowflake Ornament.  I have modified her pattern just a little to add beads and sequins.  I completed the stitching and beading/sequins today on the first ornament.  I plan to make 4.  I chose to use a "forest green" for the background thinking the snowflake would show up pretty on the tree,  Next step will be to place it on a circle to form the ornament.

APIP #4 - Joseph's Coat of Many Colors;  I have been mainly on this project this past week.  I completed the third row and appliqued on the center circles on all the completed rows.  Three down, two to go.  Going to give this quilt to a young lady for her 14th birthday March 27.  I have been told she has an "old soul" which refers to her loving things vintage.  Since this is an old pattern and I am doing it scrappy, thought it would look fairly vintage.  I hope to get it hand quilted in time for her birthday, so going to try really hard this week to complete the last two rows this week.  I did get the remining pieces for the triangles and circles cut this morning....so ready - set - GO!

APIP #2 - Bloom and Sew; Gail Pan 2025 BOM -  Completed all the stitchery for February. Made a mistake in trimming one of the blocks (the one with the bumblebee).  Cut it too short so I had the choice of remaking the entire block or adding a background strip to the top and bottom of the piece.  So I choice to add the strips, and had to restitch the poor bumblebee's antenna.
