"SUMMER DAYS"
is now a flimsy
hanging in my closet
until my back will allow
me to layer up and baste
with all that involved bending over.
*********************
Meanwhile, continuing in my
"Seasons'" pieces...
Here is the start of "Falling Leaves"
["The falling leaves
drift by my window,
the Autumn leaves
of red and gold..."
I love that song--it
gave me the theme for
this one]
I Sub-cut String sections of
leftover Autumnal Fabrics;
mostly, gold, yellow, browns,
oranges and
a few light rosy colors, and
a bit of green ...
I saw this process on
Aunt em's youtube (click)
Video--and was immediately
chasing a new squirrel...;)))
🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
I had NEVER thought about
subcutting with my
Go! Baby
die cutter.
And, using it I was
able to do a
bit at a time
this past week...
Here are a few sewn strip parts...
This is my "take" on Em's quilt
so far...
↡↡↡↡↡
how I am going
to cut and sew these
together; [they are in
sections of four and just pinned
up on my wall--]
but, for now,
I can do a bit of strip
sewing in my wonderful
lumbar pillowed sewing chair...
*;)))
[And then, do my heating pad]
👍👍👍
I have chosen graduated solid
strip colors from my stash to use
as separators for the crumbs...
¿I don't know if you can tell that the
shorter sections' solids are a shade
darker than the longer ones..?
I am only using my stash
for these projects...
Em also has an Etsy shop
as well as her blog with her
original pattern for
doing strip sets
like this...
Aren't they neat? I am loving
doing this project...
😊Thank you so much Em 💗👵
I will be doing more subcutting for sure...
***********************
In the meantime, I have been
doing some retail therapy...
I bought a Fat 1/4 bundle
of the "Kismet" fabric line
after seeing Pat Sloan show it off...
on her YouTube channel...
👀😳😳😳👀
[I need another set of new fabrics
like a hole in the head!!--Butttt...
this is just SO gorgeous]

FYI for those of you who asked:
My new PT guy is so nice and
after yesterday's workout
I am only "normally sore"--
not about to go to the ER like
the time before...
So, things are looking up
here in the House on the Hill--
I hope this PT will take care of the
sciatic nerve problem...
I have seven more visits...
Thanks so much everyone for
your good wishes...💖💖💖
mmmmmmwhaaa!!

Beautiful evocative projects that show off your love of color and fabric collection.
ReplyDeleteI m so happy the PT was more on target tis week. Good for you, to persevere.
PS such a beautiful song, but so sad. My dad loved one that went "The autumn leaves, caress the trees---tenderly..."
ReplyDeleteHere's your song:
Lyrics
The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold
Since you went away, the days grow long
And soon, I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
Since you went away, the days grow long
And soon, I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
Having the right PT person makes all the difference in the world....hoping for less pain after each session
ReplyDeleteSummer Days is so pretty! I love the blue and yellow strings. Your new fall project is lovely, too - I'm kind of ready for some fall colors myself. Glad you like the new PT and hoping it really helps!
ReplyDeleteIt seems very appropriate to move from summer days to autumn leaves.
ReplyDeleteGlad your PT is treating you nicely, and things are improving.
Your idea of Seasons series I love! Summer Days is definitely a reminder of blue skies and a hot sun, I'm looking forward to watching Autumn Leaves grow - perfect for the lyrics of the song. Sounds like you're having good results from your new PT guy, long may it continue throughout the sessions and you can get back to normal again.
ReplyDeleteYou're accomplishing a lot between heating pad sessions. I think I love these types of projects most of all because they're evocative of the quilts of our grandmothers time.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear your new PT guy is a winner - how it's to be hoped he can help you feel better sooner.
Glad pt went better. Good idea with the go cutter. You so smaaart
ReplyDeleteLove your projects! I'm thinking of Autumn so it's appropriate you're working on a fall project! It sounds like PT is helping you. I hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes on your exercise sessions, do hope it is doing you a lot of good and your aches and pains will soon be a thing of the past. In the meantime, comfy chair and heating pad seems to be keeping you reasonably comfy.
ReplyDeleteHope your feeling less sciatic pain. poor you!
ReplyDeleteyour summer and fall quilt project will keep your mind off it. enjoy this beautiful weather.
Your summer quilt is beautiful, Julierose. The colors in your fall piece are really pretty. Look forward to seeing this one come together.
ReplyDeleteOMG, the summer quilt top is drop dead gorgeous! I absolutely love it! And I’m thrilled for you that your new therapist is doing well for you. xo
