PINK and RED SATURDAY

                                        The start of a ( mostly) pink and red fun, scrappy piece

                                           Wrong side up here--need to iron them out
                                                (A little teaser here for you) ;)))

When I hung up this Christmas runner I made with DAWNIE at her site
Relaxing Robin blog SAL last year :

                                          The reds and pinks called my name...
[and while we're at it...
WHY don't they make more prints like this ↓↓↓↓ anymore???]

I especially like those reds and golds...

This is a little cut off piece from the 

quilt I made for my eldest grandson, Steven,

when he went into his "Big Boy" bed...

Ummmmm

Now, how did he get to be 20 years old

so quickly?  ;((((

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

I decided some fun "just sewing" was in order on this 

gray rainswept day here....

Because I needed a treat after:

Earlier this morning I made egg salad for sandwiches

as our dinner along with french fries tonight...

Changed sheets and

did another laundry load

while Thom vacuumed the house with our brand new SHARK 

vacuum which we just love 💕💕

(it was our house's Christmas present this year)

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

Looking ahead....

I picked out a first pull of fabrics for this quilt which I hope will be

my 2020 long term project 

Lots and lots and lots of applique :000

Wish me luck....

Mine will certainly look different with these

fabrics...I am trying to just use 

my stash...

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

I hope you are having a wonderful pre-Christmas Saturday and

not having to rush around all stressed out...

LEFTOVERS

This container is full of leftover 2" squares from a swap I entered years ago....(in case you are interested it was on "The Curious Quilter"'s blog)
ANYHOO....
Not all of these are the same--as the saying goes...
some a smidgen smaller and small a bit bigger..soooo..
                                               2" plus or minus...😄
(PLUS, I have a lot of duple-and triplicates of the same fabrics...
Quite a puzzle....)

Makes for interesting sewing...
AND...I am not about to go and trim up all of these...
So far I've made:

 This nine patch










and...


this one

And this last one so far...

as I put them up on the
design wall..............

I began humming:

"It's Beginning to look a lot like
CHRISTMAS..."















And so this little runner is being born....

I've had this old fabric Forever and a Day...I like how it plays Christmas Carols for me....
*********************************
My next colors will be in this range....

You can see how uneven those (supposedly) 2"-ers are....;ooooo

But seeing that perfection is not the goal her, but rather some little fun runners
 and mug rugs and such.....and "using it up"
I'm just

                                          "BREEZING ALONG WITH THE BREEZE..."

Hugs on a partly sunny (for a while anyway) Tuesday...
Hope your day is a good one
Hugs, Julierose (humming away-euse)
