I finished up my
"Bouquet De Fleurs"
this morning by adding the binding...
[Just a label needed now...]
This was my first machine appliqueing
around the bouquet and then I hand quilted
the surround and around some of the flowers...
I just love this fabric and these pieces I found in
my aqua/teal scrap bag...
The four borders are all itty--bitty scraps
crumbs, really, that I sewed together in long strips
lavender and aqua bits and bobs...
And that second border uses larger cut offs from
this soft teacup and roses fabric...
[you can see all these
better if you click
to enlarge]
The reverse is this fabulous garden fabric with French words
around each little bouquet...this is what
gave me the idea for naming my little quiltlet...
[the wording is:
"une rose est une rose"]
***********************************
We are finally beginning to get
some Fall colors here:
I love how it looks misty in the rainy weather...
And....
Along our left backyard our bushes are turning
such a vivid yellow..
then.....
Indoors, my Christmas cacti are budding out
Can you make out the little buds???
They are resting on my Mom's Cathedral window
runner that she made using all of my Father's
ties after he passed away...
I remember taking the ties
apart along with her and then
cutting them into squares .....
I really cherish this piece
and love looking at it......
which always makes me
remember my Dad as he was
coming home from work
in his business suit,
white or light blue shirt,
with all those fancy ties
we got for him...
And, he wore them all,
even if some were a bit wild!!
😇😂😁😄
*****************************
In other matters--
My hair is due for a trim,,,
Hmmmmmm
OR....
↯↯↯↯
I would love to wear my hair like this...
But I haven't been able to
convince my hairdresser to cut
it this way with my fine hair...
So, I still am sporting
my chin length bob with bangs...
S I G H.....

I hope this finds you all enjoying
