I would love for you to join me (a retired senior)in my zany crafting adventures with quilting (waaaaay too much fabric); scrapbooking (will I ever catch up?); redwork; counted cross stitch; crossword puzzles; reading; and cooking.

UFO & LITTLE FARM GIRL

 
My "Pears" OJO piece
is the first of my UFO's that I will
tackle...
I plan to concentrate on 
finishing them up--before 
I attempt to sew anything new!!

Lately, I've been disappointed
in anything I've begun
getting used to my 
depleted stash?
Perhaps...???
👿👹
Anyway, I will be 
concentrating on one UFO
per month if possible...

But, I digress yet again:
😁
I was able to pin baste Pears in 
readiness for hand quilting...

Here is the cotton thread I plan to use
↴↴↴
Such a lovely color, I think...
AND--
here is a closer looks at that
Pear fabric..

I really love this fabric...
one of my all time favorites..
***********************

Little Farm Girl is coming along

Just a few small
bits to finish up...

I tried to do her hair, but
found it really looking pretty
awful!!
So I ripped out my stitching...
And now, 
I have to figure what stitch
to use for it...
Time to look in my Judith Montano 
books for possibilities...

***********************
It is Super hot and V E R Y 
humid here today.

We managed a short early walk,
but it really took the starch out
of us it was so muggy!!

Hoping your Sunday is a fun day;)))
Stay cool...

hugs, Julierose,

  2. I do love the colours in your "Pears" piece. The perle thread looks perfect for it.

  3. Such a pretty quilt! I love the peaches (even though there are pears!) and greens in it. Looks like you did find the perfect thread for quilting it!

  4. I love the Pear quilt and darling little Farm Girl. {her hair looks fine to me].

    I do worry about you and your bad sciatica, pinning a quilt is never easy. Pls go slow.

    Not hot here but no breeze and very humid. Now fog is rolling in.

  6. Your hand quilting will be a nice pick up project between the parts of the other things you are working on.

    Walking in hot and muggy weather is NOT fun.
