I put my "Spring Baskets" up in my dining room...
hope "springs eternal" ;}}}}
I love this little improv piece--the last one I made before Mom passed away.........
She really loved it, too....
Loving this toile
for the background
a lovely pear
and some leaves.....
and
I just love that print I found for the baskets...so soft and looking
tres French Provincial, I feel.
I think this was the first Improv type quilt I pieced that I ended up
loving.....
******************************
I began hand quilting Maru-gata Kimmi last night....
with her pink outlining....
I decided she needed to be the star of the circle...;}}}
AND................this way she stands out;
and the dark green thread
will fill in the rest of the center circle....
I am debating whether to add a few beads on the lotus
blooms to accentuate that gold...
I haven't done a lot of beading since I made this piece for Mom:
her "Mary Mandala"
for her bedside table.
It sits on my shelf in my sewing room now...
bringing many memories
of our happy times sewing together
HAPPY SPRING, MOM....💔
***********************************
I am plugging away on the "secret" project quilt...but my back problem
has slowed that down a lot....
I am so glad that I began it really early--
it should still be ready for Christmas giving...hopefully....
**************************************
We have glimpses of Mr. Sun today which is nice....I am continuing to ice
my back and Thom is tending his cheek wound from the cryo excision--
We make quite a pair, the two of us 👫💕💕💕💑
But as my Grand-mere used to state:
"This too will pass..."
And so,
We are purposefully NOT watching the News a lot...
the c-virus updates are troubling,
but we are doing our part by staying home;
really, that is all we can do at this stage.
I hope you all stay well and safe💝
Hugs, Julierose, La Blageuse (remembering happy times-euse)
