DESERT DREAMS OJOS

                 I've begun working on these tiny little string pieces.....
                          I have moved on to my 
                               smallest squares of papers now
                                              only 3.5".

                           Along with these leftover triangles 
                        (from a failed Broken Dishes project...)
                         which make perfect corners for my 
                                        Desert Ojos...

I just cannot seem to stop making these string blocks, people!

I keep on telling myself ............
it's time to move onto another project--

                              and then, BAM! 💫💣👀👀

I sit down at my machine and those little squares 
just jump under my needle..

                         Perhaps this "EYE" has cast its spell over me.
                         It sits on my shelf overlooking my machine....

[Conjuring up images of Desert Palms, 
Oases, Arabian horses,
shimmering sands....]

And so it goes....
hugs, Julierose,
La Blageuse (dreaming of desert nights-euse)

  2. Your little strings look fun. Sometimes a project grabs us and doesnt let go. Mine is chandelier blocks. Cant get away from them

  3. Wow! 3.5 inches? Do you have a plan for what you are going to do with these? You probably already blogged about that and I somehow missed it.

  4. I imagine the string blocks are very quick and satisfying to make. I need to do some scrap organizing and then give strings a try.

  6. I really like the colours on these little string blocks. I think I feel the same about my Mile a Minute blocks, I could sew them forever, mindless therapeutic sewing.

  7. Those really do look like desert colors. I have not been working on string blocks but have been seeing them on so many blogs. Makes me want to start a string project but I have too many applique projects in process to start the piecing.
