BATTING BOOK CONTINUES.....et al

 

Pages 3 & 4 of my batting book journey:
I call:
"Japanese Autumn"

A closer look at my stitching around
these cut out and laid on circles...
Little vignettes cut from a favorite
older fabric...

I did more stitching on this page than the
facing one...

Here, I felt that the lovely cloth
spoke for itself and I didn't 
need to add anything more....

I am continuing to do two page
spreads
throughout this book...

Here is the beginning of the
next two pages
{5 &6}
pinned in place...
↧↧↧↧
The "roses" fabrics 
and the center piece of linen napkin
have been coffee dyed by me....

I will invisible baste all the pieces in place
before deciding on any stitching....
these fabrics "cross" over the pages...
with the double circle in the center...

*************************
It is so HOT and HUMID
here again today....
I will go out for a short trip
to the post office to mail off
birthday cards to my twin
grandsons who turn 
21!!!!!!!!!
on the 13th of this month...
😨😯

How did this happen
so quickly?????

I will go.....
From car AC to
 P.O. AC 
and then back to
home AC...

************************
Tonight's menu is leftover
chicken and rice casserole
from Saturday's meal...
so no cooking...
