THE SAME...ONLY DIFFERENT, et al

 
My design wall has the two projects
I am working on with the exact same fabrics...
I find it amazing how different 
they look ;)))

On the left is another Ojos group 
that will be 5 blocks by 4 blocks--
a small table topper...

and Almost completed is
Criss-Cross next to them
on the right...

Below are :

The fabrics I picked out
from my cut-offs and strip scraps..
which I am hoping to use 
up for both..

I know 
I will still have leftovers which will
be turned into 
crumb blocks and
hopefully 
G O N E!!!!

AND
↧↧↧↧↧
Snow Globe for my next to last
page in my Fabric Journal is
finished...
**********************
Here is a sneak peek at what I will
be using for my January-June
Garden themed
slow stitching project.
 
It just came in the mail yesterday
from a Mill in Maine

More about this later.....

********************
I am happy to say that our tank set up for our new
propane generator has been approved today
by the Town building inspector...
Now to have it hooked up and 
the tanks filled...
:)))))
[Note: this has been in the works
since August...it seems to take
so long these days to get workers
on site to install anything!!]

****************************
Tonight's dinner will be my
meatloaf and boiled
potatoes with a side
salad...
A simple hearty meal 
for this cold
day...

Hugs, Julierose,

  2. Oh, that's fun!...Two different string quilts with the same fabrics in the strings.

    Every time I see your journal pages it makes me want to do some crazy quilting and embroidery stuff again but then I never want to go dig out all my supplies. One of these days...

    For dinner I'm having homemade minestrone with most of the ingredients home grown from the dried beans to the zucchini to the tomatoes and onions. And homemade bread to go with.

  3. Yes, forever to get workers as well as supplies. Took us almost a year to replace our deck, but well worth the wait. Meatloaf for us tonight, as well.

  4. I love your new fabric page. It so soft and quiet, just like a snowstorm.

  5. Love the journal! I can't believe those are the same sets of fabrics! They are both looking great. So glad you are making progress on the generator. That could come in handy this winter. Have a good week.

  7. Both quilts with the strip scraps look lovely. The journaling page looks great. I am thinking of doing something like that next year, slow stitching!
    And I had a Greek green pea casserole!

  8. Isn't it cool working with strips? Owo I love.
    The snow blog is darling, at the first sight I was thinking it was a lovely basket with those cute birds. It is Lovely, Julierose!! Yesterday we had home made mini pizzas for dinner.

  9. (one) How much fun to make two different quilts using the same set of scraps! That's something that would make for a good challenge quilt topic. (two) I cannot tell you how much I am loving your snow globe page (and all of your journal pages for that matter). (three) Excited to see how you are going to use the large wood spool.

  10. Fun projects! The snowglobe page is especially delightful.

    Which is more than I can say for our weather, so grey and dismal. Good news is it is very warm, like 60 ish.

    love

  11. Love your 2 projects! It's amazing how the same fabrics can look so different. Such a great way to use up those pesky scraps! I really love the snowglobe page. So pretty!

  12. I like making several scrap quilts together. Lovely how you're using the same fabrics for both. Have fun.
    We have been waiting since August for some work. So slow these days.

  13. Your design wall is looking pretty good! And I love the lace you added to your snowglobe.

  14. You're so right - your design wall is looking so good with the two projects and reading the comment from Julie I could see a quilt challenge here! I thought your snow globe was a treasure when I saw your last post, you've created a stunning page with the addition of all the lace and stitching.

  15. I'm curious to see what you do with that spool.

    All your projects look great.

  16. ooooh - now I am SO curious to see what you're making using that spindle!!! And I suspect I'm going to be given reason to regret having gotten rid of one when we moved here.
    Meatloaf has been on the menu here this week too.
