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.

FRIDAY MISCELLANY, et al

 

Little Bunny House  slow stitch
is finished...
{at least for now--I may be adding
to it later on...}

**************************
The first Lavender Dresden is all quilted now...
and
I will be moving onto the second one after
giving my hands a resting period...

*********************************
Here is the finished cover for my
En Masse Volume 2...
I used Matte Medium to seal it;
new for me using this product...and
perhaps another coat will be needed???
Meanwhile, I am collecting images
and setting up collection pages...

***************************
My "Quilters Dream Request" batting
arrived yesterday and I am letting it
rest on our dining room table 
to try to straighten out 
the wrinkles
and fold lines...

mentioned that she puts her batting
into the dryer--I am assuming on air dry
to de-wrinkle it...I may give that a try...
This is my first experience with this
brand of batting--I will let you know
how I like it--
[or not;)))))].

I will be setting up Jelly Roll Jumble
to be layered over the weekend
once my hands and fingers 
have recovered...

***************************
AND...
I have been watching
on her youtube channel do an
"Intuitive Daily Stitching" in small
squares--one per day...
Very compelling and fascinating...
I will be working on making my own
throughout the year.  I think just
that small amount of stitchery
for one day 
 will be do-able with the
state of my hands now...
{Another rabbit hole to explore}

I dearly MISS MY DAILY
stitching/embroidery....

Embroidery was my very 
first needle art taught to me
by my lovely, patient 
๐Ÿ’—Grand-mere๐Ÿ’—

*****************************
That is what has been going on here,
at the House on the Hill..
Looking forward to working on all these
varied projects...
Hugs, Julierose

  2. I prefer Quilter's Dream batting and often use the request weight. And, yes, I put it in the dryer on air to fluff and remove wrinkles.

  3. You always have such a variety of fun projects to work on.
    Seeing those embroidered squares made me think of the 'temperature' project so many people are doing.

  4. I can tell your Grandmere was near and dear to your heart when you speak of her, Julierose. I just love Little Bunny House. It is so sweet and charming and Lavender Dresden is looking so pretty. Thank you for sharing how you seal your journal cover. I have experimented with several things on preserving my journal covers over the years. Some work some do not. Have a great weekend. Hugs.

  5. Your Bunny House design is lovely, Julierose! It makes me think of being out in the woods with some wild bunnies. I always enjoy seeing what else you're working on, too. I've never thought to do what you're doing with your batting (or put it in the dryer either), but that seems like a good idea!
