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.

LITTLES, et al

 

Early morning deck quilting...
Pineapple Welcome is coming along.....

Here is a close up of my all time 
favorite yellow fabric--these borders are
the very last of this one...
Just such a warm, creamy yellow with the
lovely tossed roses;))))

***************************************
My Flamingo Ojos will be next in line to hand quilt...
I always so enjoy hand quilting these....

****************************
I just backed this little Summertime table
topper and it is ready to be pinned...

***************************
And, finally!!!!-------

I laid my "Lollipops Flowers"on top of Helga 
ready to be bound
for tomorrow's machine 
sewing stint...

This way I can't ignore or miss it, right????
It's been waiting a mighty long time to be 
finished...πŸ‘€πŸ˜‰πŸ‘€

I am on a mission this summer
 to finish up all the
"Littles" that I have hanging 
in my 
stash closet...
Wish me luck...;)))

*********************************
Tonight will be an easy bbq supper:
Hot dogs (burnt to a crisp just like
we love to eat them)--with thinly 
sliced Vidalia onions, honey mustard,
and sweet pickle relish...

Along with my handmade, oven baked
french fries prepped in EV Olive Oil with
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper...
baked at 425 for about 20 minutes...
nice and crisped...

A very simple, but favorite Summertime meal...
:))))))

I do hope you are enjoying this lovely day
"Carpe Diem" I say...πŸ˜„πŸ˜‡πŸ˜
Hugs, Julierose,
La Blageuse

  2. I'd say you are well on your way to your summer goal of finishing all your "littles" Julierose. The quilting looks great on Lollipops. I look forward to seeing it bound.

  3. Love seeing what you're working on, Julierose - you're going to have some beautiful finishes! Your Ojos are always so pretty. I was making some (one color) string blocks the other day, but I like your multi-color ones better. They do remind me of tropical birds!

  5. I'm so in love with your Lollipop Flowers, Julierose! The design, colors and beautiful hand quilting! I'm so glad you are finishing this one and working on your other 'Littles'. They deserve to be out of the closet! Your bbq supper sounds delicious (I'm sure it was!).

  6. Early morning deck quilting sounds good to me! The yellow fabrics are yummy. Flamingo Ojo is so pretty. The flamingo fabric is a hoot. How exciting that you are nearing a finish for Lollipop Flowers. I have been working on my Pretty in Peach Butteflies today- hand quilting. Supper sounds delish! I am going to have to try making the fries. Have a fabulous evening. Hugs.

  9. I love the Pineapple Welcome---was it a pattern by??? Your other projects are so diverse and beautiful too, plus your beautiful handquilting. You very much have your own special ''look'' and artistic style. Enjoy all your small finishes on these lovely summer days.

  10. I would say you're making great progress on your summer project mission. I think my favourite of these is the ojos but that could be because there's lots of blue in it.
