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.

JANUARY CRUMBS

I finished sewing Fiona's Crumb lap
quilt center with the lavender bars;

AND

Here is Willa's 

With the pale blue bars.

Here they are together--
the same 
only different:)))
and use up some of the tiniest
bits I have found..

Now, 
I only have to add borders
to make them wider
and backings 
to make them into small
lap quilts...
*************************

These are my month's 
crumb piecing...

I will try something different
for February in my attempt to
whittle down my crumbs and
cut offs...
👀
BECAUSE...
I have cut offs and strips and
crumbs from the 1980's when I
first began quilting and wanted
to "SAVE" all the odd pieces...
but never used them much...
******************************
Another gray and rainy day here
I made us a meatloaf
for dinner  along
with what will be mashed
potatoes and gravy...

A good supper for a 
cold, raw
day...
hugs, Julierose

  2. Keep warm inside. I havent made a meatloaf for a while, they are always so tasty and "homely" nice comfort food on a cold day. No cold days here, we are enjoying hot summer weather!

  3. Meatloaf and mashed potatoes and gravy sounds perfect for a cold, raw day. Your crumbs look lovely with the blue and lavender bars in-between. Both will make cosy lap quilts.

  4. Oh, these two little quilts looks so cute together. Nice job!

  5. Your crumbs look adorable! Why do we save all these tiny pieces and scraps?? I always save everything and I'm not sure why! They cause more trouble in the end!

  6. That's really industrious to use such small pieces and you came up with something so pretty.

  7. You have two very nice quilts going Julierose. The girls will love them. The meatloaf sounds delish. It has been forever since we've had it. Gonna add that to list for next week.

  8. The 2 tops didn't look much different until you placed them side by side and they really each have their own personalities.
    I haven't made meatloaf for quite a while. I usually put mashed potatoes on top and cheddar cheese sometimes too. It is great as a leftover and fun to pull out of the freezer on a day I don't feel like cooking.

  9. The tops are lovely, Julierose. What a wonderful way to use crumbs. I’ve saved them in the past but when sewn together, they quickly become a mess. You’ve found a way to set them off.
    We had meatloaf recently. You’re right; perfect for cold, rainy days.

  11. Very pretty! [tho secretly I am relieved I do not keep crumbs or even scraps, lol]. It must be fun to find and revisit old favorites tho.

    Dinner sounds perfect! It's grey and damp, but I m so glad it is not sold or snowy. Sunny day tomorrow, I think.


    love

  14. Methinks your grandies are going to be pretty happy with these quilts. I'm embarking on a crochet/quilt adventure so will have to see how it goes. Combining quilting and crochet - what could possibly go wrong?
