About Me

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.

" ORANGE YOU GLAD " et al

 
"Orange You Glad" is ready
to be sewn together 
in my favorite setting..

[sorry for the dark photo--
 another gray and cloudy day here]

AND

All my crumb blocks are ready
to be sewn into a 
"Chinese Coin"
Strippy.

If you click on the picture you may
be able to see the teeney tiny
pieces in some of the blocks...
I just love how those come out..
💕
These are all made with
the cut off bits from
"Orange You Glad" Ojos 
and 
"Criss Cross".

I must tell you that there are still
strips left...s i g h 
but no really small bits...

I have bundled the strips up for  
future strip work as I
do not need another
piece in progress right now...

************************
Early (really early!!) this
morning Tom and I went to
our Clinic as I had
my yearly mammo appointment 
and he was due for
blood work...
It is another gray 
gray 
day here;
we are supposed to get
rain/snow mix tonight.
Here on the shoreline we
often miss storms that
travel north of us...

Right now
our temp is 38 (F)--
so it looks like unless
the temp drops it will be rain.

If so, it will melt away any of the
snow that is left..about 1/2" 
here and there...

I am resting my back 
[after the contortions of
this morning's appointment!].

Hugs, 
Julierose, La Blageuse

  2. You have a couple of nice projects in the works, Julierose. A strip quilt is on my 2023 to do list... along with a gazillion other things LOL. Stay warm!

  3. I love how your projects are coming together. Isn't it amazing how we get all these fabric scraps? I made 3 large scrap quilts this year and I have so many scraps left over. I think they'll be around no matter what we do! So glad you got your mammogram. I go in a few months. Enjoy the storm! I think we're getting rain too!

  4. You've really been making a lot of progress, Julierose! I love both sets of blocks. What a good idea to make crumb blocks from the cutoff bits of your string blocks. I should be doing that, too. Happy mammogram day! I have one next week.

  5. I bet you are really happy the teeny tiny pieces are safely sewn together. They are looking good.
    Gray days here too. Our forecasters played down the chances of snow but it came in spite of them. Not much yet but more expected overnight and tomorrow.

  6. Both projects are looking great. Hope the back is feeling better today. Thank goodness my hubbys back is a bit better today. I did not want to relive 2020!

  7. Your projects are looking good, but I don't think it is possible to have no scraps left. It is some undiscovered law of physics that scraps cannot ever be eliminated.

  8. Two lovely 'almost finished' projects - good for you. Hope all is well with the mammogram, the contortions are always a problem!!

  9. Love those crumb blocks. They look fun to make.
    The snow was so pretty while it lasted.
    I loved the book Horse.

  10. How clever to use the scraps from your strips to make crumb blocks! You will have two lovely quilts.

  11. I like scrappy quilts the best because they remind me of my grandmothers who were both quilters and made all their quilts with whatever they could glean from worn-out clothing and donations of same from the non-quilting community.
