FRIDAY FINISHES, et al

 

June Fabric Journal page finish...

I am calling it 

"Tattered Heart"

Here I've added

the little silk heart that

Lizzy

gifted me in her

bits n' bobs 

happy mail for

my project.

Thanks so much Lizzy;))

💗

I added a beaded flower with a

french knotted center

and then 

couched and beaded the

tattered heart...

Along both sides, I sewed

my version of 

"Falling Stars"

and more  french knots...

The whole piece is kantha 

and seed stitched.

I now have to sew it onto the muslin 

page for my book...

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

Twenty blocks of Many Trips

are finished!

I've decided that this will be

big enough (with added borders)

to be a decent lap quilt;

and I don't think I can handle

anything larger...

Next:  sew them together...

in blocks of four I think...

not long rows...

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

I still have lots of strips left as

I had cut enough for 30 blocks, plus

tons of other jelly rolls to be used up!!!

and with that in mind.....

I saw this on klein meisje site

under "Jack and Jill"

which uses 2.5" squares and

strips that i thought I may

try next

↓↓↓↓

I really need to use up all my jellies...

Isn't this a neat pattern?

Also Cathy at (click)

made one of these that is

just lovely...

For the solid in this I have a variegated

roll of turquoises that might work out...

Stay Tuned...;)))

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

Tonight's dinner will be

my meatloaf,

boiled new potatoes

and applesauce...

SWEET 16, et al

 

Here are my "Many Trips" blocks;

so far, I've made 16.

And--

They are "growing" on me...

I have 4 more to finish that

bottom row...

↡↡↡↡

[Notice the top right block:↟↟↟

I used a really dark strip

there--luckily I have 

another matching one

So when I sew the blocks in 

their final setting, I can

use those two 

in the middle maybe..so

they won't stand out

so much...]

It took me a while to figure out the

ironing procedure

for these, but I 

"understand" it now...

Easy really...

Once in a while though, 

Jack the Ripper

has to be called in --

mainly when I begin 

separating the 

tubes..

and then

I have to do 

some re-sewing

👀👺👀

aaargh!!

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

My lilies are still not in bloom...

perhaps this rain we've had will

coax them out???

And my Rhodie by the

front side of our house

gave us a wonderful

extravaganza 

of color this year!!

I keep on looking for fabric

with these color variations...

By the side of our garage and

in front of tv room these

bloomed well

What lovely colors...

I love the throat hues 

on these...

💜💜💜💜

Leaving you on this beautiful sunny

day with 

Hugs, and good thoughts,
