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.

JOURNAL WINTER PAGES IN PROGRESS

 
"Snow Lady"
is my rendition for
the Snowman prompt
in
"Roxy's Winter Fabric Journal".

I decided to make 
a Snow Lady by 
adding a flower and a bead
to her hat...;)))

I may add some more snowflakes
across the top,
but for now I am done with 
working on this one...

***********************
I set up the 2nd prompt--
which is
"Winter Landscape" 

this morning...
⇣⇣⇣⇣⇣
Birches always make me
think of Winter...

AND SO....
For
this block base, I crazy
quilted fancy fabrics first
across the bare base page;
and 
then I 
laid the birches and little scene 
over that --finishing with that
lacey bit at the top...
all pinned in place.

I will
be basting it all down
and adding 
some embroidery
this week...

I like the cool effect of 
the crazy quilted background 
peeking through
this scene..

I hope your Sunday has been 
a good one; it is sprinkling
here and muggy outside ...

Setting up my Winter scene has
kept me cool inside...

A quiet 
57th Wedding Anniversary 
for us today..

hugs, Julierose, La blageuse

  2. Congratulations on 57 years. We will celebrate 50 years next spring and that is hard to believe Yet, we still progress onward and add up those years. Lovely new pages, the crazy quilt background adds a lot of texture and the cool scenes make me long for cooler weather.

  7. Happy anniversary!
    Both of your pieces are chilling, in a good way of course. Maybe it is a good thing to be working on winter scenes in the summer/fall heat.

    52 degrees here in IL this morning with high of 62 predicted. By Saturday, 80 degrees again.
