TWO STARTS.....et al

 

I began hand quilting this morning--

"It's A Jungle Out There" 
table runner....

The squares are made from
leftover jelly roll strips;
and the backing:

is a  fun Laurel Burch fabric......
[the fabric is much 
more vivid than this photo!!]

This photo shows the LB fabric 
across the top in truer colors.......

I am using this lovely thread
and a Milliner's needle 
[my hands can no longer grasp
small quilting needles]
to hand quilt...
⇓⇓⇓
Such a luscious color that goes well
with both sides....

**************************
And...

TA-DAH....

I began my next little scroll--
I am calling it 
"Summer Memories"

Using up those little cut-offs of favorite 
blue and green fabrics that remind
me of Summertime....

Here is the start already
basted down....
 
The backing is a long piece
of old linen which needles
so beautifully...;)))

followed by this section and
this one
↡↡↡
The rest of the length is pinned in place
out of the way while I baste
it all down before adding my
enhancements
;)))

I've rolled up and pinned out of the way
the rest for ease of working...

All just scrappy pieces that 
I could not bear to
throw away
😉😍

This project is just my fun, 
relaxing, 
"in my lap project"...;))))

So far, I have made four
little bobbin scrolls....
{shown below}

I have them displayed on my 
buffet atop my cherished 
Grand-mere's 
hand crocheted doily....
:))))

Tonight will be an easy supper:

BBQ'd cheese burgers,
with Master Grill Chef,
 Tom, doing his magic ----
and
I have prepared us a 
German Potato Salad
for the simple side dish...
Y U M !!👌😀

P.S.I am also still trying to 
re-organize my space
a little at a time 
as my back allows...
:))))
