RAINY DAY WORK

My version of Angela's Tiny Tuesday Block --isn't this just the cutest string
umbrella--I could not resist since I am making Spring Strings anyway.



I used the same paper blocks [5"] that I have been
using for my Spring Strings and my bountiful leftovers...
And a new piece is born--
{squirrelly moi--drop everything and do it}.
I think I will try to make a small scrappy rainbow of umbrellas..
what fun!!;))
*******************************

Here is the secret project I made for my blog friend, DAWN at [click]
for her birthday today and in memory of her little kitty, Phoebe, 
who passed away ......;(((( 

                            HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAWN.....;)))


I only hand quilted the white area around Phoebe..



Here is the reverse using the last of my favorite fabric--lower left is
a woman quilting, right is a man fishing, and at the  top is a lovely
old-fashioned home....











isn't that just scrumptious?








I hope that this little piece will bring warm memories to Dawn and Rich....
of their beloved Phoebe............💙💙💙💔
****************************************************************
My Spring String blocks are mounting up at two/day.........


                                                    A rainbow of OJOS.
This Spring String piece is not as planned as my other pieces--
I am pulling haphazard pieces out of my mash-up of leftovers....
so a true scrappy one... 
AND...........
I have a lot more strings leftover----
 OH! ..............................and those little triangles 
[that began their lives to become broken dishes--but no matter 
how I tried ;((((  when I sewed them together 
they came out all "skewgey"]
have just morphed into perfect little corners 
for my Ojos work..PERFECT!!
