AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, et al

 
After our morning walk on this
beautifully cool Summer morning,
I grabbed my coffee and took
out my Kathy Schmitz project:

"Gathered Blessings"--
and began to stitch the redwork with
the Bee Skeep block.

I am
trying to get my stitches back
in shape-- ;((((
it's been so long since
I've done embroidery that they are
a bit on the wonky side...

Since I finished hand quilting
my Moon Garden Stars I have
no other hand quilting project
on hand..

And so....

In the spirit of keeping myself
centered and calm, I decided
to do a bit of this calming
redwork....

***********************
Also...
I have done a bit of work on my
Boho Gypsy Caravan--
here is the back of the front cover
↓↓↓
A lovely hammock for lazing among the pillows
and gazing out at the stars....

And below:

Here is the first prompt:
"Where would you
most like to be"
↧↧↧↧
As always, at the beach at
sunset would be my choice...
definitely "La Dolce Vita" for me....
;))))

And I did a bit of work on the back
cover, too:
a lot of embellishments--
a sewn ribbon ruffle dotted
with flat-back pearls, leafy vines 
on the sides,
And....
↴↴↴↴
Sign postings for future journeys (L);
and my fellow traveler leading
his horse on the way ahead 
of our Caravan....

I thought the fabric, in the middle section,
looked a lot like a waterfall...
with rocks on the sides...
What fun ideas these images spark...

I am feeling my way on this
Caravan project....
adding more pages
and
waiting for more inspiration
to come to me...

I hope you are having a glorious 
Saturday
i will be sitting, 
Sloth-style 
on our deck lounge chair and
watching the puffy clouds sail by....
Hugs, Julierose
