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.

PLUGGING AWAY, et al

 

Still hand quilting on my "Christmas Ojos"..
I am working on 1/4 block at one sitting...

I have the central three [4-part blocks]
done and need
to work on the outsides now...
and....
Here is a little close up of the central
block..

AND
Here is the backing fabric:
Christmas Puddings ;)))
🎅🎅
↧↧↧↧
It's hard to see the quilting lines on the white but they
show up well on the puddings;))

*******************************
The "tippy-top" of 
PICOTEE amaryllis
is now in full bloom...
There are 4 more blossoms on display...

This one has sure given us quite a show!!:)))

Hugs, Julierose, La Blageuse

  4. Your hand stitching is really nice. I don't think I could ever get stitches that even.
    Beautiful blooms!

  7. I don't think I've every seen an amaryllis with that many blooms. You sure got your money's worth with that one.

  8. Your hand quilting stitches add a wonderful texture, so pretty. You certainly got your money's worth with your picotee amaryllis! Enjoy the remaining blooms!

  11. I know I've told you this before, but your hand quilting is just stunning, Julierose. It looks so much better than machine quilting. I wish I had that skill!

  12. You're showing proof that doing a little bit at a time on a project will lead to completion. I, too, am in awe of your hand quilting skills.

  13. This ojos quilt is so beautiful with the teal and reds/roses together. Great stitching, too. I love the Christmas puddings fabric.
    Beautiful Picotee.
