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.

BABY, BABY, et al

 



I finally decided on white-on-white for sashing strips with
dark green cornerstones...
Only the top row has the sashing strip sewn to it
the 2nd and third rows only have their white sashes.
and are not sewn together.


Here is a closer view of that green cornerstone...
And below I  have set up the sashings and
cornerstones for the next row and top and bottom...
I have yet to cut out the borders--which will be more
of the same...top, bottom, left and right...
I only have a teeney, tiny sliver left of my 
white-on-white fabric...literally a smidge!! 



Here is that Smidgen

I really thought I was going to run out!! 

Needless to say, I just ordered 2 yds of
replacement white-on-white....and only 
because I like it better than plain 
white in my pieces...
[ X-my-💙---no more fabric buying for
the foreseeable future here.!!]
;)))))

*********************************
Here is my finished Sentimental Scroll
on its home Bobbin...
Surrounded by the rest of my bobbin family...
I plan to make a smaller one next...
a sit-and-watch-tv-one...simple
running stitched...

I have one more large bobbin and
I plan to make another scroll 
later on this year....

Here it is partially unrolled on my dining table

I just love that you can unroll it and then roll it right
back up --so fun!!!:)))
It is too long to capture in a photo--some 70" in total...

Here is a close up of the closure--a shell button 
and white sari silk to wind around:
I really loved working on this and
 now my Grand-mere's 
lovely pieces have a home
;))))).

Be sure to stay safe and warm if you find yourself
in the path of this Siberian Cold Front 
bearing down 
upon us this weekend....

  2. You played a rousing game of fabric chicken and won! I bet you were relieved.
    You are amassing a good collection of bobbins - so pretty. I still kick myself for getting rid of a bobbin because I didn't know of a use for it.

  3. Your 16 patch project is moving right along, and the sashing and cornerstones are perfect for it, Julierose! I have to stock up on w-on-w fabrics for backgrounds pretty frequently, too - you just run out of them faster. Beautiful scroll - lovely finish! Stay warm and safe!

  4. I think there is an exemption for buying basic fabrics that are always needed.

  5. Your scrolls are so wonderful . . . I keep dying I am going to create one but other things keep getting in the way. That needs to change!

  6. The newest scroll is beautiful, I love seeing your whole collection. And the baby quilt is so sweet. The deep punchy green squares are an interesting touch.
    I have never been as cold as I was yesterday, could not keep the house warm. It was awful. Today is sunny but still cold, I hope it is a better day for us all.
    btw the table topper in your pics is so beautiful!
    Do you watch the Olympics?

  7. You sure did use that white fabric down to the last smidge! Nicely done. I like the setting you picked for the 16 patch blocks. Lovely green.
