FRIDAY FLIMSIES, et al

 

                                                                   FALLING STARS  

I might have to add a lower border--but I canNOT find anything that I like--so for now,

this is hanging in my flimsey closet...



  
SHORELINE SUMMER

I just love this border fabric....↧↧↧↧


Summer roses  in bloom...

****************************************************************
I had these two pieces hanging up on my wall for over a month...😏👸
so, this morning I went in and looked at them again, 
and determined to find borders, and get them to the flimsey stage.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Now it's time to bring out my Courthouse Steps blocks  intended to be a 
king size bed coverlet for us....Tom is going to help me to lay them out
on our bed to see just how many more I need to make (or can stand to haha);
I do have a lot of strips sorted for these in little bins awaiting my attention...

The weather has turned hot and humid again after those two lovely
coool, Fall-like days we've had.  So in the AC again...$$$$$ for sure...
*********************************************
Tom is cleaning out the window sills and along our double awning windows in our
tv room--it seems he's found wasps building grass nests along them--inside!!
We didn't realize how they can SQUEEEZE into such tiny spaces!!! 
We have the wasp spray
close at hand--so far so good... meanwhile....

I was washing spare room sheets and airing out the bed blanket...while sewing;)))
******************************
Tonight will be leftovers: we have on hand: Tuna Noodle Casserole, rice with 
Tom's marinara sauce and I made a big salad to share ....

TGIF people;)))
Hugs, Julierose, La Blageuse (flimsey-finishing-euse)

    Wasps are scary, be careful!

  2. I love the top border on your Falling Stars top. Why not just piece together random squares/rectangles of all of your dark blue scraps for the bottom border.

  4. Love the night sky above your star blocks. That is really striking. The border on your Shoreline Summer is really pretty. Look forward to seeing your Courthouse Steps all together!

  5. Wasps like our entryway. We always have a can inside to spray them when they start building again. Cute quilts. Dinner sounds yummy. I think they boys are ordering pizza and I'll have leftovers - pulled pork and coleslaw.

  7. I love both of your quilt tops. The sky at the top of the quilt is perfect! Our air conditioner was on yesterday too. It will take awhile to get that cool autumn air more often.

  15. Re the lower border question - if you have more of that strip of moon fabric from the top, could you cut it so that the moon was removed and then stitch it back together so you would create a border that just had the stars? Just a thought.
    We're getting the odd wasp in our apartment too - not sure how they're getting in.
