RSC WALL STATUS

              I will be  making 4 more Ojos blocks with my leftover strips and triangles;
                 and the rest  of the tiny pieces will be crumb blocks...
                   and coping strips of some sort....

Then I will be deciding how to get these together into one piece....;---000 --
or maybe two???
Or who knows???
Waiting for the "AH-HAH" moment....
I am:
Linking up with Angela at:  superscrappy where all of us March Teal-ers
meet to show what we've made so far...

Kimmi is coming along:

                                     The outer blade ring is all stitched..↟↟↟
                                            now, I can begin on the white surround....

Most of my time has been spent hand quilting as my back told me to
rest up ....it is also coming along....;)))

I hope you are all staying close to home and doing well...

P.S.  added on Sunday--I have begun the white outer portion and am
listening to Pandora and the sun is shining...a few peaceful unstressful
moments...Hang in there;)))

RSC-ing

I have been wanting to make this "Rail Fence" from Sujata Shah's
amazing book: "Cultural Fusion Quilts" for a long time....

So, &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
when I got those lovely teal chunk pieces from Wanda 
(click to visit her site) --
I thought I'd make a test block to see 
how I like the pattern and the sewing--- 
{as I've come to  discover-- that altho' I like the look 
of lots of blocks--sometimes the actual sewing puts me off--}
So it will be a new entry for RSC for March this week--
In making this block--I found that:

my first rotary long cut was really wonky--👾 
but the blocks did come together okay anyway...
BUT...................
I was unhappy with the choppy edges that resulted ..👀👿
💭💭💭
so,
I decided that for the 2nd block, I would mark the 
slight curve, and then use scissors to cut the layers
which I pinned--
and it worked out much better for me ... a bit more time, but
better results...

I have laid out my 2nd block now and ...
I think  the  challenge in making these will be choosing
colors to get that lace-y look I am trying to achieve...

Rotary cutting has become more and more
of a problem --especially through layers for me...
so I am using scissors whenever I can...
***********************
Here is the thread I've chosen to hand quilt "Maru-gata Kimmi"
                                      ↧↧↧↧↧↧↧

                        I think it will give just enough contrast without 
                                     being too bright...

I am linking up with Angela at super scrappy for my Saturday visit
to see what all the RSC-ers are up to....do drop in...;)))

Hugs, Julierose, La Blageuse (happy to be able to sew a bit-euse)

ORANGE SLICE IS QUILTED

                 I have finished my hand quilting on Orange Slice...;)))

I have decided to put this and other RSC pieces away for binding and 
finishing until
the month of December...
*************************
Now "Maru-gata Kimmi" is all layered and pinned; so this will be my next
handquilting project...

                                 I really L💖ve that little Kimmi doll...........................

************************ 
Meanwhile, we have stocked up for the c-virus ...staying away from crowds...
our State is, little by little, closing down and cancelling events and 
closing schools--going "online" for students' studies...
Good cautionary measures for a Pandemic event...

We can only hope and pray that we and you and your families stay safe
and healthy....

Hugs, Julierose, La Blageuse (sewing to calm down-euse)
