ANOTHER SMALL FINISH

 

I was able to utilize the leftover
binding from Willa's quilt for
my table topper;))
So this makes 3 small finishes for January...
[sorry for the dark pix--cloudy again!!]
👌👋👍
YAY ME!! 
Here is the reverse of
"I've Never Been To Paris"

I've been hoarding this large
flowery piece for a while now...
It almost fit perfectly--just had to add
a bit on either side...
This table topper is now all 
machine stitched along
either side of the long straight seams...

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

Next up for my own 
UFO challenge in 2023
IS:
"Sunny Days"
It is pretty big,  so I will
tie this one

Here is a close up of that 
lovely watercolor print
The top part of Ojos are 
lighter blues and yellows and
the lower section is rich, deeper
blues and bright yellows...
Just like the shifting skies on
a Summer Beach...
I managed to use cut offs 
to separate the sections on this one.

**********************
Now for a couple days' rest....
{and perhaps an afternoon nap!!}
Hugs, Julierose

  1. For sure, Yay you! What a great finish, Julierose. Sunny Days looks great, too. I hope you enjoy your afternoon nap, if you take one. I'm headed for one soon.

  2. Sunny Days is beautiful. It reminds me of sunny days sitting on a beach watching the boats sail by. The watercolour print is amazing. Lovely finish on your table topper. The backing fabric is a pretty one.

  3. Yay you! Congrats on the finishes this month! I've finished two cross-stitching projects, that's all. Your table runner is lovely, love the scrappy look, pretty backing too. 'Sunny Days' is so bright and cheerful, love blues and yellows, so pretty.

  9. The Ojos quilts are outstanding, what an artist you are. I love everything about them, the freedom, the color exuberance, the joy, the secret special fabrics to find. You are truly gifted, always with your own vision--such wonderful results.

    I love that these are being finished and shared, used, now.

    REEEally cold weather coming. How I envy that generator you had installed.

    love

  12. I love your table topper, congratulations on the finish! The PJ fabric used for the backing is a perfect complement to the colours. Sunny Days does indeed to to be quite a large size, I think you deserve that couple of days rest.
