JOY BANNER FLIMSY, et al

Here is my "JOY" banner

with added borders....

I used this VERY OLD 

fabric from my

stash for the

top and bottom 

borders

↧↧↧

I love this

"old-timey" fabric;

it has

the cutest little 

children  sledding,

building snowmen, and sitting

on huge snowballs...

;)))

And for the sides, I used this lovely

gold-gilded pomegranate 

fabric--repeating

the few I used

in the words...

↡↡↡

I still have quite a bit

of that "pom" fabric left 

for another

banner, perhaps...

It took me 

most of the week to

do these, but 

they did get done!!

Now to layer it up so

I can hand quilt it!

*********************

I moved my ironing

board down to chair

level so I could iron these

borders 

↧↧↧

{excuse that old, stained cover!!}

👾👾

You can just see the back of my 

lumbar cushion there.

I am STILL unable to stand for

any length of time

with this ongoing sciatica

that is still plaguing me;

so, the chair is the way to go..

*************************

I had begun making this little piece

a few years ago and gave up on it..

👇👇👇

I would like to begin 

working on these blocks

in 2022.  [This picture

shows them

pieced and not appliqued.]

You readers know that I don't 

normally make lists--

despite the fact

that I am an avid "pen and ink"

journaler...😏

AND

that is because

for some reason lists 

make me feel stressed--

like they are some kind

of "deadline"

I have to meet.

[The little girl flying her

balloons is from Martha's

I love that vintage look

and hope to rescue 

some of my really older

fabrics and finally use

them...

Well, anyway...

that is my little plan for now...

;D

After making the JOY banner 

I think that I will enjoy using

2.5" squares in this 

pixilated method

for my little Vintage Girl

project.
