My "Flowery Snowballs" is finally bound!
and....
Here is the reverse fabric
I really just love the funny jumping froggies;))))
[click to enlarge]
And below is my 1st trial run on this pattern--
a smaller, square SNOWBALL piece.
The snowballs are plain here.
This will fit my cocktail table
perfectly!! It sits right
in front of our fireplace ;)))
And the reverse:
I've had this fabric forever...I love paisley
fabrics....
This one has a lovely, muted pattern...
I was able to use up a whole lot of
scrappy, little
squares in these two pieces.
*******************************
I have to tell you that----
I really had to push myself to
finish these up for some
unknown reason...
Not much "get up and go" lately..
.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
I have been doing some work in my
Junque Journal...
Here are the next couple pages
all prepped for journaling...
I made the little white ruffle
for the smaller page
from my white scrappy bag
of leftover fabrics....
The little pink card
near my little angel
is a flip out
for journaling
on the back..
And
Here are the next two pages
girl on the right...
and there are a lot of journaling cards
in the pockets on both pages...
these will most likely get a few more
embellishments--some
fun, sparkley stuff;)))
and.....
I have added tabs to all the pages...
I should have enough pages
until mid-December
when I will switch out to my next
volume....
**********************
I just thought I would "drop in"
today as I did have
those two little
finishes for you...;))
I have been a bit blue lately...
💙💙💙💙💧💧💧💧
I will be back after the
Thanksgiving Holiday
[everyone is coming here this year
lots and lots and lots of prep work
going on ....haven't done this in
a very long time...I even had to
order some more serving
dishes....S I G H ]
Hugs, Julierose

Hopefully the holiday prep will take your mind off whatever is making you blue. (I think there's a lot of that going around right now), My take right now is that there's no sense worrying about things I have no control over. So one day at a time. We'll deal with it as it happens.

Your Snowball quilts are lovely. I always enjoy seeing the beautiful fabrics in your collection.
ReplyDeleteThe journal is fascinating---working w something so pretty must inspire you to write in it.
You ae so loved and blessed to have your family with you for the holiday. I hope everyone pitches in and you have a great day.

Hooray for some finishes! Flowery Snowballs is a lovely quilt. I love the scrappy sashing you used between the blocks. Happy Thanksgiving! Go easy on yourself - I bet you'll get lots of helpers when the family arrives.
ReplyDeleteBoth of your snowball pieces look great and finished is a bonus!
ReplyDeleteI hope your family is going to do a lot of the Thanksgiving preparations.
I'm sending you a hug♡ Hopefully, when your family gather around you for Thanksgiving you can all support each other and cheer each other up a little. Those snowball quilts are beautiful. Those frogs are cute and yes, paisley is always a lovely pattern. Two beautiful quilty finishes. Take care, dear lady♡
ReplyDeleteThe paisley backing is so pretty! And nice to have some finishes to show off to your Thanksgiving guests. Take care of yourself and post when you can.
ReplyDeleteYour finished snowball is so pretty. I'm sure it makes you smile when you look at it.
ReplyDeleteTake care of you and don't overdo all the prep I know you're wanting to do for Thanksgiving. Remember, people are always happy to help so don't hesitate to ask them to bring something.
LOVELY finishes!! Well done, you. And your junque journal pages have so much to investigate and explore. I'm sorry you are feeling a bit blue - I have been as well and I suspect there are others - all for different (or maybe some of the same) reasons. Take care of yourself, try not to over-prepare for your T'giving guests, and make sure to make time to sit and breathe and notice the good things around you.
ReplyDeleteThe snowball pieces are great. You use such delightful colors together. I'm glad you were able to sew a little. Enjoy your family gathering.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry that you have been feeling blue, I know your hands are painful lately. Pretty finishes, but please dont push yourself too hard.
ReplyDeleteI love the scrappy look of your quilts. I haven't been sewing too much lately. I've been working on Christmas gifts and it's taking up all my time. Love the journals!
ReplyDeleteOh , Julierose your Flowery Snowball quilts are just gorgeous. Beautiful job. The snowball block is one of my favorites. I love seeing your progress on your journal pages. You always inspire me on my journals. You find the best things to put in your journals as well. I miss getting magazines and such to use for journaling. I wish you a lovely week. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteWell done on those quilty finishes, Julierose. Your journal pages are fun to see. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
ReplyDeleteYour quilts are beautiful! I think lots of people are feeling 'off' since the beginning of this month. I hope the Thanksgiving holiday goes well at your house next week.
