I like: packages tied up with fabric ↻↻↻↻
that contain...... ↡↡↡↡
the last of my Christmas presents....
blues and purples from
Equilter....
I hope to use some of these in my Hexagon piece....
**********************************
And I like:
FINALLY, finally --finding my best method for making 1/2 square
Triangles...
Love that chevron pattern.....I began with 10" layer cake squares
thinking bigger is better....
and used the diagonally marked method--
but I also marked the sewing lines on either side--
as it seems (seams lol) I cannot sew a
true straight line w/o them...;)))
Whatever works, right??
*************************************
And this week, joining with all the other grateful sewists at Lee Anna's,
I also liked receiving:
This adorable drawing from Fiona in thanks for playing Monopoly
with her on their last visit here...
of course, she won--
not just letting her either--
she really beat us royally!! ;)))
Don't you just love this stuff???;)))

More to like and be thankful for this week:

Not a like....but............↡↯↯↯↯............
Hubster posted this on my sewing room door.....as I wrenched my
right shoulder/arm while cutting through FOUR layers of batting
for Franken Quilt (it truly is a Monster!!) .....
And this has been extended to four days now...
but I do like---- and
I am thankful that it is getting better...

That is all from Mi Casa this week--
Hugs, Julierose, La blageuse (thankful-euse)






Hooray for the shoulder getting better. (have you considered a 60mm rotary cutter for the batting - especially multiple layers? I finally bought one and have not been sorry - I use the Martelli ergonomic model which is available on Amazon as well as from several other online sources). And hooray for those gorgeous new fabrics.
ReplyDeleteYour Franken-Quilt reminds me of the coins I just made. So colourful but sorry you suffered an injury. I find at the machine makes a certain place in my back hurt perhaps that is because I'm a bit stressed cause I really can't sew straight. Love how he is caring for you. Yes to soft presents and that drawing of Fiona's is a keeper.
ReplyDeleteHi Julierose! I love that sign DH made you. That had to make you smile each time you saw it. I'm glad the injury is getting better - ouch! Yay for figuring out the best method that works for you on HSTs. There are so many different methods out there - whatever works is what I say. ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteI like visiting here, I always smile reading about your adventures!
ReplyDeleteGet well soon and yes, your granddaughter's art is wonderful.
Oh, that is a funny note from your hubster! You'd better follow the rules! I love your fabric mail, and that chevron in red and white is gorgeous, too. I'll have to go read about your Frankenquilt! Hope your shoulder is better soon.
ReplyDeleteAnd be thankful for that guy that is looking out for you. The purple fabric is soooooooooo nice. I'm not really a purple person but I've noticed it enhances the other colors in my quilting so I use it more often. I think there should be a lqw that sewing shouldn't hurt (as I'm nursing my back because of marathon sewing).
ReplyDeleteOkay your hubs was sweet taking care of you.
ReplyDeleteFiona's artwork was BEAUTIFUL.
Love fresh bread.
Quilting is wonderful.
☺
Your fabrics are pretty, your HST make me smile. I started out doing that. Now I can actually do a pretty straight line with just the center line. The note from the hubby is sweet. Love Fiona's drawing. Great likes as usual.
ReplyDeleteI love your new fabrics! SO pretty! Nice chevrons! Fiona is the sweetest! I'm glad you're taking good care of yourself! Rest and get better!!
ReplyDeleteHope you learned your lesson about cutting too many layers of batting! I bought some of that gorgeous hydrangea fabric on sale late last summer (also bought some half yards of the coordinating fabrics). I can't resist purple and flowers.
ReplyDeletePat
Ooh - I love that fabric! Sorry about your shoulder. I hope it continues to heal!
ReplyDeleteYou obviously have a good man looking after you Julierose! Packages of fabrics are always exciting, and where would we be without these precious pieces from our grand-children!
ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous fabric in your parcel! Love the sweet note from your granddaughter.
ReplyDeleteFionas art needs a quilt if its own dont cha think? So adorable. Are you sure you wont rent Thom out for a week?
ReplyDeleteHe is a keeper for sure. Rolls look yummy
that letter from your granddaughter is so precious! And those fabrics are just gorgeous!
ReplyDeletePoor Julie is grounded. Hope your shoulder heals quickly! Fiona's drawing is so sweet.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry your shoulder is hurting, but how lovely to have a husband who cares! And that lovely drawing from your 'grand' is just that - grand!
