Dark Days, Comfort Cloth--
for April is
"Stars of Friendship.."
I made 6 stars;
I made a little hourglass center for
this one to represent how friends
last through time....
I used bit s and pieces leftover
from the 1st three blocks
and also added some new colors...
I have set them in this lovely, dark
rose print..
I will spend this week basting this block to the white
backing cloth...before doing any
special, fancy stitching on it...
then it will be placed here
↧↧↧↧
as stars normally appear up above us all..
☆★☆★
It will take me all week to invisible baste this
in place on the backing cloth I am sure...
My hands are pretty tired after
making the stars
and, so not wanting to
drop out of the K3N SAL
altogether --
because of sore hands,
I'll admit that ..
I finished 3 of the stars
on my machine.
I loved "jig-saw-puzzling"
the stars with strips of
that lovely, richly-colored fabric...
I think it is in keeping with my
"Dark Days" title....
**************************
We are no longer able to walk
the boardwalk on the River:
but when the weather improves--
if it EVER does-
[it was only
29 this morning--
I mean really????
In April?????]
We can still sit on the benches and
take our lunch there to sit and watch the
river traffic and the construction...
***************************
I am continuing on with
"Blues in the Night".
I've finished 5 1/2 blocks of 6...
I will put this aside for this week and
concentrate on invisibly basting the
latest Dark Days block to its backing...
Hugs, Julierose,
La Blageuse
