PIECES OF MY HEART

Here reside: the tiniest little pieces of favorites from yesterday and today...
As you can see the pickings to make these Ojos are getting smaller and
the variety is getting low; but I am determined to "use them up".
And give me a lap quilt where i can wool-gather and look back; each fabric reminds me of my younger days...everything is so connected.............

Some Mom picked out and some my friend MaryAnn gave me (we used to 
get together and trade 1/4-1/2 yds for variety.....

I have used the leftover sky fabrics deliberately through out this project
as it seems to bring back memories....now why and how do certain fabrics
do this?  This is one of the things I love about using scraps and strings and
bits and bobs...;))) 💓💔💕💖💗

(singing "Sunrise, sunset, quickly go the days....")

Here

are

some

bits
and bobs
and cutoff

ends 
for 

the


corners....



I haven't as yet had to actually sew
some together to lengthen strips--but that is in my future....

and here is how the pink/blues look against my ISF and ISR darker
blocks.....I think it looks so much better than the long strips---
but I just 💟💞💝 those strips--they will be another project....probably a 
coins type....

so many years collecting fabrics...and these are just pinks, wine shades,
and blues....and I have whole lot of stacks of uncut left......a whole
wealth of heart-rending fabrics...and even if some are more loved
than others--when you use cut-offs, they all merge into a new whole
heart......;)))

And a TAH--DAH----here:

               Yes,  I finished Fiona's Sugar Plum Fairy Diamond Painting--
you cannot see the sparkle in this photo, but it just glimmers 
and shines...

Both granddaughters play in their outside Fairy Garden a lot--so this will
be for those long winter "inside" days to remind them of Summer Days
to come...

I have set up and begun Willa's canvas....hers tends to use
lighter colors--more of a pastel re-creation....
I am really enjoying diamond painting...I find it so calming....
*****************************
Chilly as it is today, Big Thom will be bbq-ing cheeseburgers and I will
fry up (don't you just love fry-ups???) green peppers and onions 
in x-tra virgin olive oil to top them.....
and we will simply have baked beans to go
with on nice Water rolls....(mouth watering here😉😋)....
