TWO FINISHES

 
Early Spring
all quilted and bound...

The reverse--
New Spring grasses
with snow clumps 
(click to enlarge)

I have loved that fabric since 
I got it quite a while ago...
AND
Here is another piece I hand sewed
using it

My Cathedral Windows
tabletopper.

Mom and I both worked
on CW quilts  at her stitching
group
the "Sew and Sews"
many years ago now...

Hers used Dad's old ties
after he had passed away
and was her memory quilt
work.  We so often would
remember 
"Oh that's right, you
bought him that wilder one!!"

If you knew my low key, 
quiet spoken Dad--
 who always wore
blue  or white shirts 
and didn't even own
a pair of jeans, --
you would see why we laughed
together at those memories...
and were able to help heal
our  loss and grieving
together...

This is a real memory
tabletopper
that I put out a lot...

We so loved working on these at
the weekly meetings...
I sure still do miss
that group of ladies...

*****************************
My 2nd finish for today 
TA_DAHHHHH
↧↧↧↧
"Girl With Braids"
Diamond Painting
is finished...

I began her when we 
shut down for Covid.
It measures 15.5" x 19.5"
and was a true pleasure to work on...

And it gave me many calming moments...
I find diamond painting to be 
so relaxing
and freeing.

I hope you are enjoying this last
day of our Country's Birthday
Party...

Hugs, Julierose
