About Me

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.

LAYERING, et all

 

"Gathered Blessings"
I finished  embroidering  and
have now bordered this piece 
for layering...
[the panel is by
Kathy Schmitz
which you can see 
across the bottom if
you click it]

This lovely cherries border fabric
was a gift from Wanda..
...thank you💗...

I have pulled this smaller piece
and the one below as my next
August finish those WIPs
projects.  I want to get them
ready for quilting...
↓↓↓↓
I call this "Little Handbaskets"
...
(Tom says : "Going to
H### in a handbasket"
haha always the comedian!]

I have yet to cut out
those green block fabrics
behind the bottom basket parts--
I will use my duckbills for that...
they were a Christmas gift long
ago from my Mom...
***********************
We have been in a "bad air quality alert" 
from the Canadian wildfires here for
the past few days....and today the
skies are still clouded with smoke--
but there is no acrid smell today
so perhaps it is moving away....

******************************
"Sunrise, Sunset" is all pin basted
and will await its turn for hand quilting
until I have finished 
"Christmas Ojos"
I am working on the outer row of blocks
the last ones;)))


Here is how the back looks:
I like how the pattern is coming out here;)))

*************************
This is how things stand here right now...
Hugs, Julierose

  3. Gathered Blessings is beautiful, Julierose! I have always wanted to stitch that one - does it come as a printed panel? That makes it so much easier! I love your Little Handbaskets, too. (I think Tom is referring to the times we live in, yes?:) Smoky skies here in Colorado, too. Enjoy all your stitching!

  4. You're making great progress on some really great quilts! That smoke has been awful. I thought it was supposed to go away the other day but it's still here!!

  5. I think going to h-e-double-hockey sticks in a handbasket must be common to both our DH's.
    I love your little embroideries and that cheery cherry fabric is perfect for a border.

  6. So many pretties in the works, Julierose. Your Gathered Blessings quilt is adorable and you know I love the baskets- ( I do need to start a new one myself. Hee Hee! ) . The quilting on Christmas Ojos is gorgeous! Wow what a beauty! Enjoy your day. Hugs.

  7. You have a bunch of projects on their way to finishes. I'm glad the cherry fabric finally got used and it looks great on that project.

  8. Wonderful small projects! I rem the redwork, and such a pretty ''perfect for Julie" print for the border. The Baskets seem unfamiliar, but so adorable. Love how you use your eclectic fabric collection.

    Ojos texture is amazing, gorgeous.

  10. I so enjoy seeing all your projects, Julie Rose and you are like me, we enjoy the variety. Ojos is absolutely gorgeous, btw. I need to now do smaller projects which just might aid me getting them finished.
