FRIDAY MISCELLANY, et al

 

Little Bunny House  slow stitch
is finished...
{at least for now--I may be adding
to it later on...}

**************************
The first Lavender Dresden is all quilted now...
and
I will be moving onto the second one after
giving my hands a resting period...

*********************************
Here is the finished cover for my
En Masse Volume 2...
I used Matte Medium to seal it;
new for me using this product...and
perhaps another coat will be needed???
Meanwhile, I am collecting images
and setting up collection pages...

***************************
My "Quilters Dream Request" batting
arrived yesterday and I am letting it
rest on our dining room table 
to try to straighten out 
the wrinkles
and fold lines...

mentioned that she puts her batting
into the dryer--I am assuming on air dry
to de-wrinkle it...I may give that a try...
This is my first experience with this
brand of batting--I will let you know
how I like it--
[or not;)))))].

I will be setting up Jelly Roll Jumble
to be layered over the weekend
once my hands and fingers 
have recovered...

***************************
AND...
I have been watching
on her youtube channel do an
"Intuitive Daily Stitching" in small
squares--one per day...
Very compelling and fascinating...
I will be working on making my own
throughout the year.  I think just
that small amount of stitchery
for one day 
 will be do-able with the
state of my hands now...
{Another rabbit hole to explore}

I dearly MISS MY DAILY
stitching/embroidery....

Embroidery was my very 
first needle art taught to me
by my lovely, patient 
πŸ’—Grand-mereπŸ’—

*****************************
That is what has been going on here,
at the House on the Hill..
Looking forward to working on all these
varied projects...
Hugs, Julierose
