Here is my "JOY" banner
with added borders....
I used this VERY OLD
fabric from my
stash for the
top and bottom
borders
↧↧↧
I love this
"old-timey" fabric;
it has
the cutest little
children sledding,
building snowmen, and sitting
on huge snowballs...
;)))
[click to enlarge

And for the sides, I used this lovely
gold-gilded pomegranate
fabric--repeating
the few I used
in the words...
↡↡↡
I still have quite a bit
of that "pom" fabric left
for another
banner, perhaps...
It took me
most of the week to
do these, but
they did get done!!
Now to layer it up so
I can hand quilt it!
*********************
I moved my ironing
board down to chair
level so I could iron these
borders
↧↧↧
{excuse that old, stained cover!!}
👾👾
You can just see the back of my
lumbar cushion there.
I am STILL unable to stand for
any length of time
with this ongoing sciatica
that is still plaguing me;
so, the chair is the way to go..

*************************
I had begun making this little piece
a few years ago and gave up on it..
👇👇👇
I would like to begin
working on these blocks
in 2022. [This picture
shows them
pieced and not appliqued.]
You readers know that I don't
normally make lists--
despite the fact
that I am an avid "pen and ink"
journaler...😏
AND
that is because
for some reason lists
make me feel stressed--
like they are some kind
of "deadline"
I have to meet.
[The little girl flying her
balloons is from Martha's
"Q is For Quilting" blog]
I love that vintage look
and hope to rescue
some of my really older
fabrics and finally use
them...
Well, anyway...
that is my little plan for now...
;D
After making the JOY banner
I think that I will enjoy using
2.5" squares in this
pixilated method
for my little Vintage Girl
project.
