Here are the first 2 Summer placemats
ready to be
layered up for pin basting..
on my dining table..
and...
We are in need of placemats, and I had
these cute fabrics and some leftover
jelly roll strips [from the--you remember--
jelly roll debacle hahaha].
So i decided to pair them...
I especially love the little doggies on the
bottom one...πππ
Lastly, next in line for pin basting
is this Crumb Table topper
up and improv a bit...;)))
And last, but not least....
↴↴↴
has been languishing for ages
needs a backing and batting.
So it will be next in line...
I have ordered batting
for this last one and am
waiting for it to arrive in the mail....
I am getting my "Littles" all pin basted for
Autumn quilting...
AND
design wall waiting
for a new fabric that I bought to arrive.
The fabric is a little strewn blue floral
type to go with the petals...I really
didn't have anything in my stash that
came close to being in the "mode"
I wanted....
I haven't bought any fabric in ages...
WOW Prices are certainly up!!!
$$$$$$
***************************
In the meantime, I am continuing to make
my little neutral Ojos and the stack is
getting larger...
a tornado hit it!!!!
ππ§π¬
Here are the latest two in progress...
Doing my telephone paper sewing...

:)))))
I don't know what I will end up
I don't know what I will end up
doing with these, but they are a fun way
to use up my leftover neutral strips...
and keeps those bags of leftovers
from mounting up...
***********************
We are staying inside this afternoon as
the temp has risen; but, we were able to sit
out on our deck this morning
for our wake-up coffees...so nice...

All so pretty, so varied and diverse. Not all for hand quilting, are they? I think my fave are the creamy Ojos in the tin, so adorable, but love everything. The doggie fabric, the batik pineapples--you have such a good eye.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy this summer day and evening! do you have a breeze?

You have some fun things going on there, Julierose! I love the new placemats, and the pretty pieces you're prepping for hand quilting. The neutral ojos always appeal to me and make me want to sew some, too!
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday, Julierose. You have a lot of fun projects in the works to keep you busy as you escape the heat. What fun and cheerful fabrics you are using for the placemats. And love the improv crumb quilt. I hope your fabric will arrive soon. Have a very lovely afternoon. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right, strip piecing is quite enjoyable to do. It always looks messy with all those ends hanging out, but once those blocks are trimmed, perfect!
ReplyDeleteThose neutral ojos blocks make me smile. Super fun placemat projects and good for you for prepping your small quilt sandwiches. Yes, fabric is much more pricey now - I am not buying much and trying hard to use the stash.
ReplyDeleteLove those summer placemats, Julierose. You have a lot of nice projects in the works. I've been thinking about pulling together some strips for piecing with one of my vintage machines. Have a great week, my friend.
ReplyDeleteI like your placemat fabrics. It's nice to have a new set of them to brighten your meals. I love the colors in the crumb table topper and the tree background fabric is one of my favorites. I think I still have a small piece of it.
ReplyDeleteYou have quite a lineup for finishing.
I love your placemats! They'll be a great addition to your dinner table. I really like the projects you're working on. You chose a great way to use up those crumbs! You can tell the hot weather is making a comeback. The air is starting to feel heavy again. Ugh!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks beautiful.
