I LIKE NO 14

                      I am working in Mouse Guard with my 
                         Inktense watercolors pencils...
                             just setting up the leafy bower right now...

I like having this craft to turn to when my hands are too sore to 
            handquilt or even sew or diamond paint...
                         and I will deepen these  colors 
                              on top of this wash with
                                  my Prismacolor pencils...

******************************************
 
                     I am liking this lower volume coloration of sno-balls--
                                   wanting to use  up my batik triangles--

I think I must have cut up a WHOLE charm pack
in the hopes of making "broken dishes"--
but they all came out wonkified ;0000

So, I stored away all these pieces...
and am going to use them in this fashion...

*******************************************
                              I love this applique pattern 
                                that I bought from Barb Vedder's(click)
                                    little etsy shop...

I am hoping to actually make a piece with these
wonderfully old-timey images this Fall... I will make my own freezer
paper templates and do my starch and turn method...

I am, [as I dive through the stash], putting aside fabrics 
that I will try out...she still may have this paper pattern in her shop--
go check it out;)))

she has many lovely items....thanks, Barb...;))))

************************************************

                            I love love love this pattern---
I don't know where I came across it--but I think it would be a great way
to use up leftover strips and charm squares....don't you????

                 {Madame La Zonga sees one of these in her future} LOL

Go and visit LeeAnna at her gathering of we "like-minded" sewists to

  1. Your snowballs look good. I like the low volume too. Reminds me of coffee and cream.

  3. Hi Julierose! Oooh, you are being a temptress this morning. I love how you are using up those batik triangles with a very clever pattern. And the scrappy and sashed triangles look very cool. I love how the square is divided by the sash with the two colors on each side of it. I wonder what this pattern is called? ~smile~ Roseanne

  4. You have lots of fun crafty things going on, Julierose! I really like the wonky snowballs - I bet they would make a great border for a quilt. That last quilt looks like a great scrappy pattern, too!

  6. Madame La Zonga? (Love your new name.) I love that quilt. So much prettier than I made years ago for Project Linus. The threw out a challenge to all who would attend the leaders Open House... make a quilt in your favorite color and one form of that color. I made a red and pink version of that quilt. I drew the pattern myself and made it paper pieced. It was easy and fun.
    Love the new snowballs.
    Love your shading...
    Hugs
