My Old Italian Blocks are mounting up....
They are such a fun project...
Using up stash cut-off fabrics...
I spent this morning cutting and setting up the
next batch...
Some 6" squares and 2" strips and possible
strip fabrics....
I am sticking with reddish-pinkish
2" squares for the centers.
I don't know yet if I will enlarge the
colorways for a totally
scrappy look or not. I need
to get more blocks up on
my design wall
to decide that....
************************
My small gardening season has
definitely come to a close:
Our Fern pathway along the front walkway
has begun to sport yellows and rusts as they
fade away....
and
A few lonely, petit marigolds
have bloomed since we've had rain...
I will dry them for a few more seeds...
A Youtube friend, (Susan Hiles Art), and I
have exchanged seeds collected for
next year's planting--hoping that we
get growth and blooms from them.
She sent me marigolds, zinnias and
calendula seeds...
i am storing them in my fridge to
winter them over...
💕 thanks so much Susan 😊

Winged Strings is all pin-basted

I have finally hand quilted
Autumn Stars around all the star points
nighttime back starry sky fabric.

We ordered a take out pizza as
a luncheon treat
this noon with pepperoni:
When Tom got it home it had
spicey ,super hot tofu bits on it instead of
the pepperoni!!
A total
disaster from our point of view!!
UGH from the two of us...!!
we couldn't stomach it...
[I know it's good for you, and many
of you like tofu, but it plays
havoc with our tummies!!]
What a disappointment--
Could this be
a
Friday 13th JOKE?????
👿👹👺💀
NOT FUNNY!!
That's the status here today,

What a disappointment. Here you were going to treat yourself and it wasn't a treat at all. I've never used much tofu. I don't know how to cook with it. Love how Old Italian Blocks are coming together.
ReplyDeleteI really do love pink with brown or burgundy. That's going t be wonderful. That sounds like awful pizza!
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy, there was a lot to show ths time. Such a disappointment with your pizza, did you get in touch with them to complain?
ReplyDeleteYour Old Italian blocks look beautiful. I love the pink-range of fabrics. With 6" squares and 2" centers, what size are the finished blocks?
ReplyDeleteWinged Strings is another beauty!
That's too bad about the pizza. Whenever we order food and we get something that we really can't eat, we call the restaurant to let them know. They've always offered to replace it. Maybe it would be the same for the place where you ordered pizza?
You are making great progress on all of your quilts, Julierose. So sorry about the pizza disaster.Tofu doesn't appeal to me at all. Hope your weekend gets better!
ReplyDeleteYou are making great progress on all three projects. The Old Italian blocks are so pretty. Totally scrappy or color controlled, either way would be pretty but I'm loving the way the blocks look now.
ReplyDeleteI have marigolds still blooming too. Lots of plants are looking pretty bad now but I always leave the plants with seed heads until spring to be pulled out. The birds and bugs use them for food and shelter all winter.
Your current stitching projects are all looking wonderful! I can't imagine anything worse than tofu pizza, you should get your money refunded at the very least.
ReplyDeleteYour projects are coming along nicely! Tofu isn't my favorite either! I hope you complained!!
ReplyDeleteYour Old Italian blocks are so pretty, Julierose! I love those colors. Looks like your other projects are moving along nicely, too! I'm sorry about the pizza - I don't think I would like tofu on my pizza either. Maybe you should contact the pizza place and let them know about the mistake.
ReplyDeleteTofu? On a pizza? What's wrong with the world!!!! I simply can't imagine it. I would certainly register a complaint with the pizza place and hopefully they will give you another one that's correct.
ReplyDeleteThree pretty quilt projects from your clever hands!
The Old Italian is even prettier when the blocks are set together!
ReplyDeleteI saved zinnia seeds for us but the very damp weather made them moldy. I will try again! Did your money-penny plants grow? [silver dollar plant]. I hope they bloom next year and you get pods.
Couldn't you call the pizza place and ask for a replacement pizza. I like tofu but not on my pizza when I am execting pepperoni, yeesh.
Hope you get out briefly on this chilly but lovely day.
Not sure if I've mentioned it before, but I do love your Winged Strings!
ReplyDeleteI like the burnished glow effect of your Old Italian blocks. They look like an old tile floor. Sorry about the pizza surprise!
ReplyDeleteThree lovely projects at different stages, Winged Strings really appeals to me, I'd love to make a small throw quilt using this block.
