I LIKE NO 17

This little box my daughter gifted to me...I always put small candies in it 
as a little treat  for the grandgirls when they are coming to visit...;)))

****************************************
I like how my Cathedral window piece echoes the greens of my 
Sea Glass collection...a lot of these pieces were collected by my Mom
on her annual trip to Florida in the Winters...

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


I really like Beth's "take on this quilt....She posted this on her
latest "Monday Making" post...
I find it very charming and I am such
a lover of squares and rectangles 
that I may give this a try myself...

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

Here are my prolific hydrangeas reaching up through our deck balustrades...
Our deck is 7 steps above ground, so they are really high.  I had cut this
baby almost to the ground last Fall and it just shot right back up...
the only drawback is that it attracts too many bees! 

************************************************
Every year I say I am going to make Mr. Turkey-Lurky--as
I think he is just adorable...
but....
 it hasn't happened as yet and T-Day is fast approaching.....;000

***************************************************
Lastly, 
I like that I am on my final legos row working on the middle
VERY RED block...just 2 purple ones after this....my nighttime 
tv-watching handwork...I will have to fetch another project and ready it
for handwork...
********************************

It is a gray and muggy day here and thick with cloud cover....
S I G H ....
I am linking to Lee Anna's site this morning, joining in the gratitude fest
that abounds there...thanks LA for hosting us all...

Hugs, Julierose, La Blageuse ("O Autumn, wherefore art thou-euse"??)

  1. Hi Julierose! Your cathedral window placemat looks just fabulous with the bowl of sea glass - AND what a nice collection you have!! Beautiful. As are your flowers. And your red fabrics are so pretty - I think red is my favorite color (don't tell the others, though). ~smile~ Roseanne

  2. It's time for you to do the turkey trot, and get that cute turkey going! We had some similar likes this week!

  4. I have a turkey block in my mind that I think about every year. I wonder if I'll really ever make it, I like to think so. You're making good progress on your quilting. That always feels good. I love the soft colors of the cathedral window piece. You've found the perfect display for it. I like that quilt too. It's a simple straight-forward design but the red sashing squares really make it shine. The strips aren't all the same width so it adds a lot of interest.

  6. I always say I'm going to make something for Thanksgiving but I never do it either! I love the shells and sea glass. The hydrangeas are gorgeous! Love the legos quilts. So pretty!!

  7. Such pretty shells, and even more special as they were collected by your mother. I have a small shell collection in the bathroom. And yes, you definitely should get on with making your own turkey!

  8. Thank you for providing a food source for the bees. They may be annoying around your deck at times, but they need all the help they can get. I like your cathedral window topper. I've always wanted to do one, so maybe I should think small instead of quilt size.

  9. Your cathedral window piece is lovely. THis must be a good year for hydrangeas..they are all so big and yes, the bees love them. You are like me...getting such inspiration around the net. I love it. Like seeing those reds you are using makes me want to get out mine.

  10. I love your lego blocks, Julierose! I didn't realize you're hand piecing them - that is quite a project! That hydrangea is pretty amazing - it must be a very good year for them.

  12. A lovely post Julierose with trips down memory lane for you! I love shells and sea glass, I have a heap of shells but no sea glass, I must hunt around next time at the beach.

  13. Love those hydrangeas!

    I have looked for seaglass in vain in this part of the world. The only glass I've found is dark brown (from beer bottles), no pretty blues and greens.

  16. I made my "tom" turkey table top years ago as a pillow and love it. Those hydrangeas are just stunning.

  17. Your hydrangeas are gorgeous. The Cathedral windows are lovely. My dad had a good time walking along cape cod picking up agates.
