Current projects, new starts, and weekend plans

Yes, I've got multiple projects going on these days.....ya'll would think I'm sick if I was only working on one thing at a time.......and I know I would be.  LOL

This passport wallet is almost finished.  Just a handful of steps left once I get some more pressing done on pieces.  This should be done tonite.

All blocks have been completed for the sample quilt for the next quilt I'm planning to submit for publication.  String blocks are approx. 8 to 10 yr old UFO blocks (and nope, I didn't use them all).  I won't be showing the completed quilt here at this time since I plan on submitting the design for publication.
Fabric for the next three wallets - the wolves for the one that needs to be remade, then two drapery samples that I bought years ago for something like $1 a piece.  The animal print is a lightweight cotton duck.  Haven't decided what I'm going to use as a coordinate, might just do a black Kona.
Close up view of the third fabric from above.  This is an embossed polyester, leather-look drapery fabric.  I love how it looks like tooled leather.  I have no idea what to use for a coordinate on this one.

Both sample pieces are 18" long by about 15" or so wide.
And the final one I want to start is this denim with embroidery.  It is a 60" wide border 'print' so I've lots of fabric to work with.  I love the richness of the flowers on this.   This may be the first one I start after cutting the sections for the wolves.


Gratitudes:

1. Weather is due to improve!

2. Tight finances mean I have extra opportunities to trust in and lean on God's provision for my life.

Love those gratitudes. We're getting soaked tonight and tomorrow. Paul is out in the mud finishing the transmission pull - but they have river rock down, so it shouldn't be completely muddy ... if they have enough!

Sunny and warm here today...due to change tomorrow and the rest of the week! Always a blessing to have Him to lean on...I'm doing that with the $10,000 worth of dental work I need done - implants are so incredibly expensive!!!
