Here is the start of my side strips for my Ojos; I have decided to go with the softer "rain" strips using this stash:
↴
All leftovers from my ISF and ISR and the Ojos...(on the top is the other muslin strip)..
I want to build these on muslin as the Ojos are on muslin...to keep
the layers even.....
A little test picture to see how they will play--they will interrupt the diamonds
of rain and fire...just enough, I think, without being too busy...
Y E S!! Always fun when ideas you dream about look good to you...
isn't it?
This is such another fun way to sew...slapping strips down and ironing →
and repeat....⇶..
*****************************
And now for my latest stars....
A doorway into Autumn with this orange.....pumpkins, Halloween,
And this one leading onto
A scent of pine in the air presaging Winter's arrival--not too soon,
I hope--will be going out to get our favorite McCoun apples tomorrow...
I only got 2 stars finished this week as both hubster and I were
under the weather ☔ -- it was raining inside and out here!!
But we are feeling better--at least I am--his back is still O U T ! ;(((
ouch
poor guy😱😭😬...
************************************
This noontime we are treating ourselves to Genoa Salami Grinders--our
favorite...for our big meal at lunchtime...along with a few
Cape Cod chips...
So, mes amies...
That's the news from chez Julierose today ;*}}}
Hugs to you all,
Julierose, La Blageuse (chomping happily-euse)





Love your strips for the border. The black and white scene fabric is so interesting. You sure know how to combine fabrics.

Love those toiles in the light blues. A border will make this look finished.
ReplyDeleteLove those Autumn Stars! The blue strips look great with your Ojos. Perfect color combination! Hope you're both feeling better. I went to work today and I felt fine. I wish I could have come home early!
ReplyDeleteI agree playing with strips is so much fun! I am glad your ideas are looking good in reality and that you are feeling better. I am plaqued with back problems so I feel for your hubby. Not fun at all!

ReplyDeletereally pretty stars and ooh la la those toile' strings.
ReplyDeletehope your husband feels better soon - back pain is awful!
You have stunning fabrics - the Dutchr country scenes, Japanese painting, and even doors. What is an ojo? They are turning out well with the fire and water theme.
ReplyDeleteI really like the way your projects are coming along. Our rain this morning turned into snow--thankfully none of it stuck! Now I'm wishing I'd picked up some Cape Cod chips when I was at Costco--lol!
ReplyDeleteLove the liberated star blocks, the Autumn one just glows.
