First Monday Of The Month: November!

Oh boy, I nearly missed this!

First Monday Of the Month, to push myself to do more sewing (because otherwise it gets lost under everything else in my life that wants doing).

--

1. I rejigged the C4 quilts, and have not-quite-finished the first one:

Actually, I've found I prefer it on the vertical rather than the horizontal.

Although either way it feels...chunky. Less elegant than I'd like. *sigh*

2. I finished the All Saints Curtains for Halloween.

This is the partly-finished version:
Dia de los Muertos

This is the full version hanging up against the window:
Quilts

Fabric is De La Luna by Tula, with the dia de los muertos ladies on it.

Now that I've done that...I'll have to finish the curtain in time for Christmas!!

Halloween in our area was reasonably busy. We had two bags of sweets and they were gone in an hour and a half.

But I also sat outside in the yard, offering drinks to the parents (it was water! Yes, it was in a vodka bottle, but it was still water!) and working on my garden planning. This was mostly because I'm working to develop community in the neighbourhood, make a few more connections with people. I didn't get dressed up this year - I don't have a light cosplay for Halloween, unless it's the Number Six Cylon dress and I made that 10 years ago and doubt I'd fit into it anymore. Instead, I just put on a nice pink dress I'd made a couple of years ago and a sunbonnet and waited for the kids to come by.
