Early Spring
all quilted and bound...
The reverse--
New Spring grasses
with snow clumps
(click to enlarge)
I have loved that fabric since
I got it quite a while ago...
AND
Here is another piece I hand sewed
using it
My Cathedral Windows
tabletopper.
Mom and I both worked
on CW quilts at her stitching
group
the "Sew and Sews"
many years ago now...
Hers used Dad's old ties
after he had passed away
and was her memory quilt
work. We so often would
remember
"Oh that's right, you
bought him that wilder one!!"
If you knew my low key,
quiet spoken Dad--
who always wore
blue or white shirts
and didn't even own
a pair of jeans, --
you would see why we laughed
together at those memories...
and were able to help heal
our loss and grieving
together...
This is a real memory
tabletopper
that I put out a lot...
We so loved working on these at
the weekly meetings...
I sure still do miss
that group of ladies...
*****************************
My 2nd finish for today
TA_DAHHHHH
↧↧↧↧
"Girl With Braids"
Diamond Painting
is finished...
I began her when we
shut down for Covid.
It measures 15.5" x 19.5"
and was a true pleasure to work on...
And it gave me many calming moments...
I find diamond painting to be
so relaxing
and freeing.
I hope you are enjoying this last
day of our Country's Birthday
Party...
Hugs, Julierose

You have so many pretty soft color fabrics in your spring quilt. I love that backing fabric too. I had some of that at one time and might have used it all up.
ReplyDeleteYour Catherdral Window table topper is gorgeous, and it's so nice to read about when you stitched together with your Mother.
ReplyDeleteNot one, but two finishes! Good for you. Both of them are great. Now you'll have to come up with something to do for an encore!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finishes and that's so sweet, the memories of your father.
ReplyDeleteI love your Early Spring string quilt, Julierose! It has such lovely soft color. The diamond painting turned out great, too. I'm not familiar with that craft, but it looks interesting!
ReplyDeleteWow, you’ve been so productive in wrapping things up. I love your spring strings. How wonderful it is that you have projects you worked on with your mom!
ReplyDeleteThe memory CW tabletopper is a real treasure.
ReplyDeleteLove those cathedral windows. On my bucket list. Great memories in yours.
ReplyDeleteYou are on a roll girl.
Lovely finish with Early Spring (and the Girl with Braids). Thanks for sharing the CW memories - one of the ladies in our little quilt group made lots and lots of CW quilts but sadly the cancer she has valiantly struggled with has finally taken her away from us. I treasure the two small pieces she gave me as samples when the tried to teach me her CW method.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your very lovely finishes, my friend. I love your cathedral windows and the memory you shared.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty projects! Many finishes!
ReplyDeleteI'm searching for a grasses print like the one you have, very evocative.
Beautiful finish with Early Spring Julierose and Girl with Braids is glorious, lovely to see her all finished, such a pretty girl.
ReplyDeleteClever to put spring and winter together. What fun! And a cathedral window. Congrats on two good finishes.
ReplyDeleteTwo lovely finishes!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finishes! I love that the quilts give you such great memories. I feel that's part of why we love quilting so much. Depending on the fabric, you can remember some great times as well as family members.
ReplyDeleteA very pretty 'early spring' quilt, love the soft palette!
