My one little Halloween quilt is
hanging out on my
Grand-mere's old dresser
this year...
Lizzy and I
both made these last year...
What fun:))))
I L💛VE
my Jack!!
[Click on Lizzy and go see her
Jack--so cute, too!!]
👻👻👻
I think this year I'd like to make some
kind of Spooky House--
I am looking around blogger
and Youtube to see what
catches my fancy--or
perhaps I'll just
make my own...????

"Sunrise Sunset: is coming along
I did a few more 1/2 sq triangles this morning with my coffee....
This is really a fun hand quilting project...
A N D ......
I hope to get on with my Easter piece today as my
shoulder/neck connection seems a lot better...
This block is quilted and I will work on
finishing up this one below--
I have to go so slowly....
Evidently keeping my lines straight
is a real challenge for me...
A N D .....
I will TRY to keep my shoulders from
"kissing" my ears...👹👽👿!!!

FYI: for those of you interested
in my Winter Rye planting....
↴↴↴↴↴
As you can see, it is starting to come
up and seems to be flourishing...
😀😁😂😃😄
It will be turned over into the soil
next Spring to improve it;
and my understanding is
that the rye will give
the soil extra nitrogen.
My little parsley plant is still going strong
despite our temps falling to 42 degrees
this morning...

Here is my latest and final
iteration of my "Ocean" page
(page 5)
for my Anniversary Journal
book....
"McCook Point Park"...
what a great find this was...;)))
Each Summer, our two children would go for swimming
lessons when they were young and in later years I and my
two close neighbor friends and their children would
go to the beach almost every day...
We even loved cloudy and/or foggy weathers...
for then we had the
beach all to ourselves...
sitting and listening to the fog horns off shore
and hearing the waves...
SO RELAXING....
Ah, what fun times we had
and what wonderful memories...
@@@@@@@@@@@@
I hope you are enjoying these wonderfully
cool, sunny days
before Winter sets in...
Hugs to all,
Julierose,

Reading "Origin" by Dan Brown--started out intriguing, but
ReplyDeletewill see how this ends up.....
I love your Starry-Eyed Jack and Lizzie's, too! Looks like your hand quilting is going along nicely. Fun to see those pretty stitches close up! And your ocean page is lovely - that's also one of our favorite places to be.
ReplyDeleteI can see why you like your "jack" so much, and Lizzy's is nice too.
ReplyDeleteParsley must be a hardy plant!
It's always a pleasure to read your blog. You have so many interesting things to share. Glad you feeling good enough to work on your Easter project.
ReplyDeleteJack looks like a great addition for the season! I love how you spent your summer. Sounds so great!
ReplyDeleteHave you ever tried laying a strip of blue painter's tape on the quilt sandwich and using the edge of the tape to help guide your straight line stitching? Worked for me back when (just don't stitch into the tape if at ALL possible - ask me how I know?!)
ReplyDeleteJack is an awesome dude (and so is Lizzy’s!) I wasn’t prepared thinking of you this week as I was stitching Christmas string blocks!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing those beach memories...lovely. Lots of interesting stitching going on at your house as always. Love your Jack piece. I have issues with keeping things straight too. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteI love SE Jack! Yours is so perfectly "julierose", mine is a loud busy Lizzy, of course. Love your summer memories.
ReplyDeleteIt will be fun to see what you do for a Haunted House.
Let me know how the D Brown book is, I gave up on him but if it s good I d try again.
Hand quilting is such a relaxing activity! Yes….keep those shoulders down! Lovely projects!
ReplyDeleteThose beach days sound wonderful. Jack looks great. Glad to hear the neck and shoulders are doing well.
ReplyDeleteI'm bad at keeping my shoulders loose too and sometimes they let me know. Right now I'm spending hours (days, really) blanket stitching around squares for my fusion quilt. Slow stitching, for sure.
ReplyDeleteYour beach page looks so relaxing.
