PEARS OJOS, et al

 

Here is my "Pears Ojos" progress...

[if you click you can see that the

central square is all quilted...]

I am presently working on the

square directly above it

↧↧↧↧

If you click you can see where

I've "parked" my needle

part way through..

  

Little by little I am getting this done...

;)))))

(Note: for some reason the colors seem

washed out in these photos...??)

FABRIC JOURNAL PROGRESS

Christmas Journal 

Page Two:

I finished this late this morning....

I was wondering if more should be

added, but in the end

I decided that with the busy 

background

it is done...

The fabric I used for the body of

the tree is part of an old

damask tablecloth of 

my Mom's...

I just love its subtlety...

And here are the first two pages of

this journal together...

↶↶↶↶

I plan to use that green/blue-black

fabric (another Jason Yenter print)

throughout as much as is feasible...

I hate to waste any snippet of it!!

I think of the first page as the "doorway"

into my journal 

and the Christmas Tree

takes you into the Season.

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

Here is my  Winter Journal tree

in progress...

There are five layers of

rounded branches on  this tree...

[click for closeup]

I used this older fabric that has

been in my stash forever!!

↡↡↡↡

I thought its subtle colorations of greens, and 

whites and grays looked like it could 

become--

snow laden branches...

Now I have to decide how to 

and how much to embellish

this page....

My  Winter Journal 

is meant to have simpler pages.

I hope it is cooler where you are than here...
