GOOD MORNING WINTER GREENERY

A little surprise this morning--just a dusting of white stuff....

                              It's so cold, I took these out my front
                                                 door;)))
Quite a difference from Summery rains....


So into my sewing room:

                                GREENERY↓↓↓↓ OF A DIFFERENT KIND 

Here are the beginnings of my RSC journey this year:

                                Little pile O' scraps.......

                                                 Ojos greenery
And
                           Nine patches...I snuck in one darker green..

                                                  A N D

                           Crazy little, wonky grayed-off greens...
                                          "Itsie-Bitsies"

I used my longer strips on Ojos; 
and then mediums on 9 patches; and
little cast offs on Itsie Bitsies.....
*********************************
SINCE I HAVE ONLY VARIOUS WEIRD CUT OFFS LEFT....

I am rustling through my stash to find little greens that may have
jumped ship to add to my paltry collection....
                                                      O R T S
So on this Wintry, gray day, I am thinking of green and gold 
Summertime days as I sew along...

Hugs, Julierose, La blageuse (dreaming of summer-euse)

  1. Good morning. I love your summer greenery projects, esp love the red daisy piece.


    I was so surprised at 1 AM when Mo asked to go out to potty [yawn] and it was snowing hard! [He had refused to go out all day bec he is afraid of high winds. Doesn't mind snow tho---how do they know?]

  2. So you have snow there, too. I thought we were the only ones...
    I love your greens. They are inspiring me to make some green blocks. Maybe I'll actually do something today. Thank you, JR.
    Hugs

  5. It's so much fun to see all the ways we're using green this month! No snow here and that's just fine with me.

  6. Not much summer green here - everything is kind of bleached out and frazzled looking. We need some good rain to make everything green again.

  8. We had some frost on the windshield this morning in Florida taking Emily to school. I had to add the outer layer of my winter coat, hat and gloves for my morning walk after dropping her to school 31 degrees on the car temp! Pretty greens. I played with some yesterday as well.

  10. excellent start! I like the improv nature of these. Do you know of Ann and Kaja who have an hourglass challenge going on? Simple block to explore color on.

  11. I recognize several of your fabrics from my own stash and like you, I'm running low on green. Enjoy your projects. They are all lovely.

  13. Looks like a fun way to use up scraps. I wonder...for the little 'bits' left if you could sew them together and make a 'modern' take on a block??
