NEXT...et al

 

"Sunrise, Sunset" is next in line

for a long term hand quilting project...

I am beginning on the long coin strip center...

*****************************

Here is the final version of 

"Falling Leaves" 

A Flimsy now...

I decided to add just two more borders 

with cornerstones of the leaf fabric...

***************************

And I finally finished my hand quilting on

"Christmas Ojos"

(Phew--lots of stitches here)

I love how textured it came out...

You can see all the stitching here....

😇😊😌😍

Now I have to find a good binding

fabric...

***************************

Here is my little collection of

meditation spools on my buffet...

Five done now...

They are perched on my Grand-mere's old

cake stand and sitting on her

crocheted doily...

Those dried roses are from my last

year's bouquet from my

Sweet Baboo 👄💖

*******************************

Tomorrow my daughter and her family

will all be coming to share lunch with us

before they are off to college and/or

work for the Autumn...

Also, (one of the twins grandsons), Greg,

is bringing his new girlfriend

to meet us--hmmmmm

must be serious, right?

👫👌;)))

We hope to hear all about their

recent family trip to Brazil

for their cousin's wedding

celebration...💒

Hugs, Julierose

SUNDAY PREP, et al

 

I pin layered and pin basted my

Christmas Ojos table topper

this morning...

Here is the backing:

This one is my next hand quilting 

project ....

AND..

I also layered and pin basted

my smallish Easter table topper:

and here is the backing I sewed:

I used leftover K. Fassett strips and

the Easter eggs center...

Very pastel-ey and Springlike

I think...;))

**********************************

"Blues in the Night "

is all quilted and trimmed awaiting

a binding which I hope to make

this coming week...

↧↧↧↧

 and here is the reverse old tablecloth side

I just love that vintage look and feel that

the big stitching gives it...

*****************************

I've begun a new Helga project

[love my machine sewing]

It's a new scrappy one:

Using up the rest of my blue strips and

cut offs...

It is a "Duckworth" type of quilt..

Using my 

torn strips and scissor trimmed  as I go...

I have trued them up to 6" when they get

large enough...

with my 6" square ruler...

Here is the next grouping 

of six ready to begin

next to Helga...

I like this method as you even use

the little cut-offs as you go...

{Those little overhanging sqs

on each row}

I am really trying to use up what I

have on hand==

and in the process

I see that my blues stash is 

very LOW....

So if and when I get more fabrics

they will be blues...

**************************

Here is our new "Stonescape"

area by the front walk 

and side of the garage

I like it--there are a few lilies that

I rescued and I will add more

bulbs to this area...

Hopefully the weed growth will be

blocked by all the stones...

We shall see...

We are aiming for easy care to 

enable us to remain in our home 

for as long as possible...

the grass loved the rains we've had

It is definitely springing up now...

I hope your Sunday is

a restful one...

Hugs, Julierose

a ga-zillion blooms

And more to come...

white bar separators...

display them this year...
