I love this tulip made with strings...
Do you remember my two baskets-- filled with scraps and strips???
Instead of sorting them out, I decided to just pull out the
colors I liked today for this string TULIP...
I have had this book for YEARS, eons, a long, long time anyway....
Audrey at Quilty Folk ,had made a while back,
got on my list of blocks to try...
So.....
I cut traced and cut out telephone book papers for the parts.....
and
here are the fabrics that I pulled out of those messy baskets....
(sorting is not my favorite way to take up my time anyway...)
the hand dyed purple strips closest will feature
on the bases of the
flowers...
{lots of pieces, right?}
Four of these tulips make an 18" block...I don't know if I will make several
or just one,,,
but for now
I am really enjoying my latest scrappy string fling...
**********************************************
It was humid here most of the day A G A I N!!!!! ;(((
But it has cooled down enough for us to take an evening stroll on the
next Town's boardwalk...
We are hoping for some cooling offshore breezes..
I cannot tolerate the humidity that has been with us---
it makes me feel nauseous and ill...
hard to find enough oxygen to breathe...
So AC has been our fare and
I am so grateful for it...;))))
I hope you are comfortable wherever you are...
Hugs, Julierose, La Blageuse (stringing-again-euse)
