TA-DA! A FINISH!

TA-DAH! Blues-ey is finished...tied, bound, and keeping me warm while tv watching at night!  I never ever thought I'd get this finished--really!!  The most pieces ever in any quilt I've made.  Thank you to Bonnie for her Blue Ridge Mountain Pattern which I scaled down to lap quilt size. All of her books are fan-tab-u-lous!    

Here is the back--using up all but a very small piece of this old favorite fabric and a Nancy Crow fabric for binding (click on pix ).









I am doing my happy dance this afternoon--my first (and hopefully not last) finish of 2013.

AND:  I am moving forward with Hello Dolly and have finished Row 6:

and here is another block using that "...That Old Black Fabric that you weave so well...."  a song or every occasion in our house.... ;---))) 

I have also started the RSC13 challenge (better late than never, huh?) from Angela at Superscrappy blog--but I canNOT get her button pasted onto my sidebar---aaargh--it just won't do it.  A little techie-snit here....will keep on tryin'...

More S N O W predicted here for Wed THROUGH Fri...

Well, snow days is sew days (hahaha) I say..

And--now,off to my herbal tea to soothe my very sore mouth after yesterday's ouchy-Crown Challenge at my dentist + a cavity!!  I looked like and felt like a blubber lip..my whole lower jaw was full of Novacaine;.no talkin' for me yesterday...but it's over--yay!  All but the followup..which will be easy..as my dentist said ("Julie, no shots, no drills, just pop it on there!) I have a terrific dentist; I just get soooo anxious.....

See you all soon and a big thank you to Dunkin, the cat , for picking me as a winner of sewyouquilt2's giveaway.  I am purring....Julierose, La Blageuse 

IT IS A WONDER-FILLED LIFE

Our family had our celebration yesterday filled with laughter, a few tears, memories, music  and much gratefulness for being all together again....and so blessed with our 2 1/2 month old granddaughter, Fiona..

Cassidy was our "santa" this year handing all the presents around....

Steven liked his presents

My daughter, Candice, held Fiona a lot.....she says, "been there, done that!" after her four... 

 Cassidy held Fiona, too--isn't that  a sweet  picture?

AND  Grand'mere gets her turn, too...

All over for another year....such a lovely day... I loved every minute...

Here is what I am working on now:  My Spider (in the Jardin) Web  --next comes bright blues:

This is why Mrs. Spider is "in the Jardin"--don't you just love this fabric??

I am making each block a bright scrap-filled primary color  and am using up my stash--such fun--AND:  am using   Bonnie's "Leaders and Enders" idea and making a whole batch of "twosies at the same time....ya gotta love that Bonnie.. 'til next time...
