SUNDAY PREP, et al

 

I pin layered and pin basted my

Christmas Ojos table topper

this morning...

Here is the backing:

This one is my next hand quilting 

project ....

AND..

I also layered and pin basted

my smallish Easter table topper:

and here is the backing I sewed:

I used leftover K. Fassett strips and

the Easter eggs center...

Very pastel-ey and Springlike

I think...;))

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

"Blues in the Night "

is all quilted and trimmed awaiting

a binding which I hope to make

this coming week...

↧↧↧↧

 and here is the reverse old tablecloth side

I just love that vintage look and feel that

the big stitching gives it...

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

I've begun a new Helga project

[love my machine sewing]

It's a new scrappy one:

Using up the rest of my blue strips and

cut offs...

It is a "Duckworth" type of quilt..

Using my 

torn strips and scissor trimmed  as I go...

I have trued them up to 6" when they get

large enough...

with my 6" square ruler...

Here is the next grouping 

of six ready to begin

next to Helga...

I like this method as you even use

the little cut-offs as you go...

{Those little overhanging sqs

on each row}

I am really trying to use up what I

have on hand==

and in the process

I see that my blues stash is 

very LOW....

So if and when I get more fabrics

they will be blues...

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

Here is our new "Stonescape"

area by the front walk 

and side of the garage

I like it--there are a few lilies that

I rescued and I will add more

bulbs to this area...

Hopefully the weed growth will be

blocked by all the stones...

We shall see...

We are aiming for easy care to 

enable us to remain in our home 

for as long as possible...

the grass loved the rains we've had

It is definitely springing up now...

I hope your Sunday is

a restful one...

Hugs, Julierose
