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.

HOME IS WHERE MY HEART IS, et al

 

Here is my scaled down version of 
"Home is Where My Heart is":
Now 8.5/11" +/-.

I have the top third invisibly basted in place and I
will be removing the pins as I baste the
rest this week.  

I have left room for embroidery this time...
Here is a little close up of the pretty
tea cups across the bottom:)))

I do drink a lot of tea so I thought it
would feature in this panel...

The second panel I prepped will
be for embroidering the title--
so, I have just used a collage of
low value fabrics. 
They are
basted in place,
but I need to cover
 the seams with stitching...
before I set up the sentiment...

A couple of pieces feature in the
house panel also..

I don't yet know what the 3rd panel will be...

***************************************
I had two small lego pieces leftover
and decided to make them into
placemats with this lovely 
book background fabric:

*******************************
And 
Here are the next two pages in my 
Junque Journal to be written in...

the pink card on the left flips over
for journaling...

The back of this facing page reveals
a large journaling area...

*****************************
It is a super beautiful day here,
warmer temps and sunshine
definitely a deck day...
probably one of the last
of this year...
Enjoy💓

Hugs, Julierose

  2. I love that house fabric with the leaning tree and the quilts hanging out front. What a lovely nostalgic piece of fabric. The frame of flowers accents it perfectly.

  3. Deborah Cromie writes good mysteries! I especially like your tea-themed collage.

  4. You always find the best pieces of fabric to make your projects. I like that you made placemats with your leftover lego pieces. I can't believe how warm it was today! Kind of weird!!
