BEACH HOUSES LONG AGO: REVERSE

Hello, I am able to post with my old computer re-formatted -- (Thanks DH)

Here is the beginnings of the back of my Beach Houses little wall hanging...on my design wall--I am still sewing 1/4 sq. triangles....

Don't look too closely to the Sun--there are puckers in there--my first attempt at doing paper piecing and curves--actually the PP-ing went fine--but those curves--oh-my!!  


See those little pleats--aaargh--but, you know what??  (No, what!--LOL) I am leaving them and I will quilt over them or bead over them or whatever--it will be a memento of my 1st attempt...I kind of like that idea..."warts and all".

And here is Miss Libby helping me with this post:


she is a good girl and follows us everywhere--her first time away from her "people" and in a new area....she is keeping us on our toes( between DH's poor foot and my plantar Facietis--(sp??) it is a challenge--but fun!  We are getting a lot of doggie kisses....  ;---))))

HAPPIEST OF JULY 4TH'S TO YOU ALL....


And here she is helping me to text to her "people" on vacation--she looks a little forlorn--oh, poor baby...

Hugs, Julierose, La blageuse....

BLUES-EY RETURNS


I finally finsihed (!!), straightened and bordered "Blues-ey" this afternoon; I tried out about four different borders (ribbit, ribbit--bleh!!) . Decided that this one picked up the scrappy blue toile inside....this has turned out to be a LOT BIGGER than I had planned:  duh:  62" long by 50" wide....

Here are a few of those favorite old fabrics I used & the border:


I've had a lot of these scraps hanging around since the 70's!!























Don't you love that wild daisy?  And of course my music fabrics....


I am happy with my outcome--when I realized JUST HOW MANY PIECES I had to cut and sew, I never in the world figured I'd finish this...(welll, almost--the top is DONE).

NOW for the backing....(hmmm, I wonder how long that will take, hehehehe)
AND: TA-DA:
Here is my newest grand-doggie dozing on his Grandad's lap: She just loves him to pieces....

And with Miss Libby I will close for this time...
Au Revoir, from your (not singin' the blues) Julierose, La Blageuse :--}}}}
