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.

NEXT...et al

 

"Sunrise, Sunset" is next in line
for a long term hand quilting project...
I am beginning on the long coin strip center...

*****************************
Here is the final version of 
"Falling Leaves" 
A Flimsy now...

I decided to add just two more borders 
with cornerstones of the leaf fabric...

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

And I finally finished my hand quilting on
"Christmas Ojos"
(Phew--lots of stitches here)
I love how textured it came out...

You can see all the stitching here....
😇😊😌😍
Now I have to find a good binding
fabric...
***************************
Here is my little collection of
meditation spools on my buffet...
Five done now...
They are perched on my Grand-mere's old
cake stand and sitting on her
crocheted doily...

Those dried roses are from my last
year's bouquet from my
Sweet Baboo 👄💖

*******************************
Tomorrow my daughter and her family
will all be coming to share lunch with us
before they are off to college and/or
work for the Autumn...

Also, (one of the twins grandsons), Greg,
is bringing his new girlfriend
to meet us--hmmmmm
must be serious, right?
👫👌;)))

We hope to hear all about their
recent family trip to Brazil
for their cousin's wedding
celebration...💒

Hugs, Julierose

  3. You have several beautiful projects going on there, Julierose! I'll enjoy seeing how you quilt Sunrise, Sunset. Those final borders look perfect for the Falling Leaves design, too. Christmas Ojos is just gorgeous with all the texture from your quilting. Enjoy that family get together, too!

  7. It's so nice to have family visits, isn't it. I'm meeting up with my daughter today for coffee as she is passing through to meet up with her father and his wife for lunch. She and I will be having a lunch date next week to celebrate her birthday.

  10. You're progressing so nicely through your projects! I don't know which one is my favourite but I think if I had to choose it would be the Christmas Ojos because of the riot of colour.

  11. I was thinking about you yesterday when I was going through my scraps-contemplating on whether to make another meditation spool ( I made one last year after seeing yours and loved it) Maybe this is my sign I do need to make another. Hee! Hee! You have so many wonderful projects in the works , Julierose! And Woo Hoo on the Christmas Ojos! I think I would have to keep that one out year round- it is stunning. Enjoy spending time with your family. Hugs

  12. Your "Christmas Ojos" are so beautiful, I'm thrilled. I'm excited to see what kind of binding you'll find.
    I also like the little tops; I'm thinking about making one as a wall hanging...
    Getting together with family is always great. I hope you all have a great time.
    We were together this weekend... we had plum cake... and also beefsteak, mashed potatoes, beans, and sauerkraut... a huge success.
    Hugs to you.
