IT'S A FLIMSY--ALMOST, et al

 

Baby, Baby is a flimsy--

it just needs borders now, ;)))

And now,  I really wish I had

situated the two orange blocks 

better... ;(((((

Perhaps one on top 

and the other on the bottom?  

But, I am NOT taking it

all out.

N O P E !!!!

And....

Here is the fabric I've chosen

from my stash

for the borders

↴↴↴↴

It is an old fabric I found [hidden deep in 

my stash] and the only one

I own that even comes close to being

in the same style as the 30's blocks...

I do love all the little hearts on it; it is from

the days when I first began to quilt... 

so happy I somehow kept it when I

did my de-stash last year...

;)))))

I really don't know if there is enough to go

all around, so if not I will use it on top and bottom

and use the rest of the green for the sides...

Isn't this a cute fabric?

See, now I realize this is not my

usual style of fabric, but I do 

L💚ve this print a lot...

and here it is in another colorway

...along with such adorable strawberries,

butterflies and perky yellow flowers:)))

Should I, when I next purchase fabrics, 

think about these types of prints???

I don't know...they would make a really

cute "I Spy" quilt for yet 

another dreamed-of great grandchild.

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

I have finished the cover of 

my little February fabric booklet

["#Roxy'sJournalofstitchery" on YT SAL

that I am participating in this year]

My chosen book is 

"Love in the Time of Cholera" 

by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

It is written in the magical realism style 

and features lost love, romance and

a family generational story.  

Giving me plenty of scope for images,,

I used a piece of my own hand woven strips

on the front cover,

and hand dyed linen 

for the back cover with

a sewn in beaded spine...

All very "raggy" and raw edged...

symbolizing the "rawness" of the

emotions in this novel....

The [3 signature] pages that I will be

sewing onto

are made of white flannel--

very easy to needle through...

I am working on Page one right now...

featuring the heart and

my embroidered french knot flowers..

The fabrics are invisibly basted down 

and whip-stitched in place 

ready for my Kantha stitching 

which I have just begun--

these stitches represent

the tears of the lonely lover...

Are you watching

 the Olympics, 

any

of you?

🏆🎿

We are: saw figure skating

giant double slalom and

men's downhill so far...

Hoping that curling will be available for

us to see at a decent hour--not

3 a.m.!!!
