"Snow Globe"
is our first Fabric Journal prompt
for December.
I think today's gray gray skies
had a lot to do with my background
choices...
All the basic pieces are pinned in
place and ready to be stitched
down before any embellishing
is begun...
We are getting both
of December's
prompts earlier than usual so that
we will be able to assemble our books
before Christmas..
**********************
On my machine sewing front:
Since I have been sorting
my string scraps I
decided to sew them
together...
I saw this on Cathy's
and
fell in💞
with it:)))
I am naming mine:
"Criss-Cross"
AND...
I am also adding to my stash
of Ojos blocks using the cut
offs from my Criss-Cross
project above:
I am calling this one :
"Orange You Glad"
(a little humor there--
actually, very little--hahaha)
😁😀😂
I am fortunate to have tons of scraps
so these two projects can
move ahead easily...
********************
We are having pretty steady
25-35 mph winds and
rain this afternoon--
It gets so dark so early now, too.
Tea time for me before
our left over roast beef dinner
from yesterday...
No muss, no fuss...
👫💕
*******************
I plan to write out my
Christmas cards tomorrow and
take a sewing rest day...
Hugs, Julierose,
La Blageuse

By Agatha Christie
Delightful snow globe!
ReplyDeleteI have had sustained almost 40 mph winds all day. I hate when the big windows vibrate like this. Over soon, power still on. love, lizzy
I love your snow globe with the chickadees in it! Perfect for that page. I also loved that Criss-cross pattern from Cathy's post and downloaded it for myself for a future project. Such a great way to sew with scrappy bits! Have fun!
ReplyDeleteHow cute to have a snow globe with little birds in it.
ReplyDeleteWe have had the big winds too. Tomorrow is going to warm up but very windy but it will probably feel better than today's 30s.
Julie, I'm curious about why you call the string blocks Ojos blocks. I tried searching your blog, but couldn't find an easy way to get to your earliest posts about them. Just curious.

Love your projects, as usual! I'm working on my string blocks too. I'm just so glad to put those scraps to good use. It's been windy here too. I was afraid we'd lost power but so far, so good.
ReplyDeleteI always admire string quilts but I'm certain I will never attempt making one. For one thing I would need to acquire a whole new stash of cottons in order to have something to work with and I'm trying my best to downsize so not going there!
ReplyDeleteLove your snowglobe!
ReplyDeleteThe criss-cross project looks good.
Julierose, you make magic with your beautiful Fabric Journals!!
ReplyDeleteSnow Globe with the little birdies is a treasure, I hope we will have a grand reveal of all the books some time in the future!
You selected very nice fabrics for the snowglobe prompt. The fussing cutting is perfect!
