Baby, Baby is a flimsy--
it just needs borders now, ;)))
And now, I really wish I had
situated the two orange blocks
better... ;(((((
Perhaps one on top
and the other on the bottom?
But, I am NOT taking it
all out.
N O P E !!!!
And....
Here is the fabric I've chosen
from my stash
for the borders
↴↴↴↴
It is an old fabric I found [hidden deep in
my stash] and the only one
I own that even comes close to being
in the same style as the 30's blocks...
I do love all the little hearts on it; it is from
the days when I first began to quilt...
so happy I somehow kept it when I
did my de-stash last year...
;)))))
I really don't know if there is enough to go
all around, so if not I will use it on top and bottom
and use the rest of the green for the sides...
Isn't this a cute fabric?
See, now I realize this is not my
usual style of fabric, but I do
L💚ve this print a lot...
and here it is in another colorway
...along with such adorable strawberries,
butterflies and perky yellow flowers:)))
Should I, when I next purchase fabrics,
think about these types of prints???
I don't know...they would make a really
cute "I Spy" quilt for yet
another dreamed-of great grandchild.

*******************************
I have finished the cover of
my little February fabric booklet
["#Roxy'sJournalofstitchery" on YT SAL
that I am participating in this year]
My chosen book is
"Love in the Time of Cholera"
by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
It is written in the magical realism style
and features lost love, romance and
a family generational story.
Giving me plenty of scope for images,,
on the front cover,
and hand dyed linen
for the back cover with
a sewn in beaded spine...
All very "raggy" and raw edged...
symbolizing the "rawness" of the
emotions in this novel....
The [3 signature] pages that I will be
sewing onto
are made of white flannel--
very easy to needle through...
I am working on Page one right now...
featuring the heart and
my embroidered french knot flowers..
and whip-stitched in place
ready for my Kantha stitching
which I have just begun--
these stitches represent
the tears of the lonely lover...

Are you watching
the Olympics,
any
of you?
🏆🎿
We are: saw figure skating
giant double slalom and
men's downhill so far...
Hoping that curling will be available for
us to see at a decent hour--not
3 a.m.!!!
