DARK DAYS BLOCK 4-- UPDATE, et al

 

Dark Days, Comfort Cloth--

for April is

"Stars of Friendship.."

I made 6 stars;

I made a little hourglass center for

this one to represent how friends

last through time....

I used bit s and pieces leftover

 from the 1st three blocks

and also added some new colors...

I have set them in this lovely, dark

rose print..

I will spend this week basting this block to the white

backing cloth...before doing any

special, fancy stitching on it...

then it will be placed here

↧↧↧↧

as stars normally appear up above us all..

☆★☆★

It will take me all week to invisible baste this

in place on the backing cloth I am sure...

My hands are pretty tired after 

making the stars

and, so not wanting to 

drop out of the K3N SAL

altogether --

because of  sore hands, 

I'll admit that ..

I finished 3 of the stars

on my machine.

I loved "jig-saw-puzzling"

 the stars with strips of

that lovely, richly-colored fabric...

I think it is in keeping with my

"Dark Days" title....

**************************

We are no longer able to walk

the boardwalk on the River:

There is only a very short distance to walk--

but when the weather improves--

if it EVER does-

[it was only 

29 this morning--

I mean really????

In April?????]

We can still sit on the benches and

take our lunch there to sit and watch the

river traffic and the construction...

***************************

I am continuing on with 

quilting 

"Blues in the Night".

I've finished 5 1/2 blocks of 6...

I will put this aside for this week and

concentrate on invisibly basting the

latest Dark Days block to its backing...

Hugs, Julierose,

La Blageuse
