Mail Call ;)))
From Lizzy
@
"Gone To The Beach"
OOOHHH...
The aroma of
Lavender
is amazing!
Two beautiful heart
sachets..
in that lovely sea blue batik
💜💜
What a pretty package...
:)))
Her little enclosure has a
tiny shell and piece of sea glass💗
Now....
I will have to find
a pretty basket,
and
add my shells
and
my sea glass
with the hearts...
Thank you,
Lizzy!!
Aren't they just gorgeous???
And look
👀👀
she enclosed
a little
early birthday bonus:
An applique with cross stitch
pattern...
I just love it...
💝💝💝💝
Thank you, sweet friend...
;)))
**********************
Here is my progress on
my little applique quilt.
I worked on the little bird-
cherry-thief last night...;))
(with its fantasy wing)
What fun!!
Here is Jan Patek's
booklet [above]
where I found
this cute pattern.
[I just love her stuff]
I decided that since my stash
in no way has fabrics
like hers,
I would try using what I
had on hand...
I am truly enjoying this slow,
meticulous stitching..
(Thanks Lizzy for your
applique advice:
"..take small, little bites
when you applique.")
**********************
Tonight's dinner
will be Tom's Chili,
sour cream topping
and "fritos" for dipping--
with a side tossed salad...
**********************
I hope your weekend is a good one
Hugs,
Julierose, La Blageuse
(thankful-euse)
