FRIDAY FROLICS

                                                    Here's Looking At You...

I am making progress on Nefertiti; I have about 1/4 left on the bottom

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

I am back to hand quilting--as my finger has healed --thankfully--
enough for me to stitch; 
Last evening I flicked between Red Sox and Patriots games while 
hand quilting my legos...

I have two of those little rubbery thimbles; and one went over my sore
finger just in case...the green center vertical quilting is finished; and
I have set up the horizontal first middle row for the two
surrounding pink blocks for tonight...

So great to be able to do this once again...
AND
maybe Helga will be allowed
out of her "time out" this weekend..much chastened, I think (lol)!!

******************************************
On my pineapple quest, I've received many wonderful 
sources from you fabulous readers--thanks so much...

My first attempt at a free-form pineapple a la Lori's "Sweet Land of Liberty" (from Cheri Payne's unavailable pattern) is this set up of scrappy 
strips --all gleaned from my sorting this week: 

It was meant to be a Prim style piece I think, 

  BUT......

I am more of a flower-ey type gal;

So, I am making a Hawaiian 

Flowering pineapple...lol

{thanks Jacky (no blog)for that description of my choices}

I have yet to figure out the top green shoots....

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

And speaking of flowering

Look what is still going strong...

I've been hand watering her most mornings as it has been 
mostly dry here..
a bit of rain day before yesterday, but still very dry everywhere...

I love love LOVE this deep rose/peach/cheddar/green combo on the petals...

Just cannot seem to get enough of it...  
            especially with that
                                       ruffle-ey edge...💕💕💕💖

******************************************
This morning is much much cooler with low humidity so I will be retiring
 to our back deck to relax and 
perhaps stitch on my legos a bit more...;))) or just maybe look at
the skies and wool-gather about that pineapple topping..
Hmmmmmm.... (Makes me think of my Grand-mere's Pineapple Upside Down Cake--so sugary and yummy with real whipped cream on top
..funny how the mind hops here and there, huh?)

**********************************
Friday night supper will be leftover sirloin steak sliced over a big green
salad...yum [while hubs will put his steak sliced into gravy over some
kind of carb --he never gains an ounce--not fair, is it??]
BUT....
No cooking pour moi...;)))))))))).

I hope you all have a terrific weekend...
hugs, Julierose (back to stitching-euse)
