SUNDAY SEWING, ET AL

 

Jelly Roll Jazz--the 2nd quilt from the 
blue batik jelly roll is all
quilted--finally!!!!
and
I've made the binding for it
this morning the same as for
Jelly Roll Jive...I had some left
over and just added to it...I am
hoping to get it sewn on tomorrow...
:))) 
********************************
Spring is showing its colors around
here now....↧↧↧↧

Daffodils on my front walk border bloomed
this weekend....so cheery and pretty...

More by the big rock in the front of our house....

And here are tulips I treated myself with on our
front step...
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

I decided to sew all the little crumb blocks
together for the start of a 
Medallion Style piece....

I just love these little Franken-quilt
pieces to use up my really
little strips and fabric orts...
:)))))

So, now I am pondering what 
color first "stop"  border 
I should use....I am 
thinking that since 
this is so "busy"
perhaps a solid 
or mottled fabric 
would be best...
*********************
Did you watch this???
   AMAZING!!!    
Last Friday we were watched the
whole splash down of Artemis II
--totally entranced with it all.
Even eating our dinner 
in front of the tv!!

What an amazing feat!!!
NASA has outdone itself
What an exciting
and hopeful 
achievement...

I hope your Sunday is full of 
happy things...
Hugs, Julierose

HILLSIDE HEART PROMPT #13

 

Our prompts for this week No. 13
are:
1} "I will carry your tears for you" ;
and
2} Glitter Bomb.

This really made me think
long and hard....
 --how could I
represent this lovely thought????

The images I came across
in my stash of these newly wed couples
and what I imagined to be an elderly
couple married many years
seemed to me to be perfect
examples illustrating
this beautiful and moving sentiment...

Can you see the glitter--it certainly is
a "bomb" on this small page...;)))
A simple page but meaningful...
💕💞👫
I do enjoy "Caroline on the hillside's 
on YT's  weekly
prompts  for our Junk Journals
this year...one
double prompt per week...

A lovely way to spend my
Easter Sunday afternoon..

Hugs, to you all,
Julierose,

SCRAPPY SATURDAY WALL

 

This week I've been working on my tiniest red scraps;
these may become some bright table mats....
It is surprising how long it takes to make one block...
I do so enjoy working on these--so relaxing;))))

My little cross squares, as you can see, are still
languishing there waiting for me to add some
more--these are made with 1.5" squares...
one at a time--- no strips...
{plus they need some good ironing...}

********************
I want to wish all of you who celebrate

EASTER
a
Wonderful Holiday
full of chocolate bunnies
🐇🐇🐇🐇
;))))))
