Here is my little idea sketch...
for
Audrey's "Bramble QAL".
I did 3 or 4 different ones and
chose this as my finalist.
Sort of, little burgeoning crocuses
in a clay pot...
[or is it crocusii?]....
Way different from my normal
pieced projects style...😐
THEN
I realized I had to enlarge it!!
HUH!!!
👺
And this is where my
"Perfectionist" brain took over
for two whole days
[and nights, I might add!!]
I pondered how to do it....
I knew there was the graph
square method to
size up and all
but it didn't appeal to me....
too painstaking and time
consuming...not fun
And I am determined to
have "fun" while learning in this QAL!
Then, as I sat staring out the
window not seeing really.....and
sipping my morning coffee....
I thought :
Oh, why not just freehand
the thing....
draw it bigger by eye--
how bad could it be--
??????????????
💁😉
Then I decided
Just Do IT!!
It's just paper after all
and isn't this the whole
OBJECT of this QAL?
So.....
I drew it on an 8x10
piece of copy paper
by eye....👀👀👀👀
pretty quickly, not trying
to overthink, it
like I normally do...
Understand....
I am in no way any kind of artist,
so I closed off any idea of
exact reproduction and
WENT FOR IT!!!
My "loosey-goosey" interpretation....
Here are the relative sizes:
I have a whole new respect for
quilters who see an old quilt and
then reproduce it and
make templates....
Next
I will figure out
the basket ==
so both sides
match up...
Oh, and I found a container to
store everything in:
"My Bramble Box"
1st hurdle overcome...
Y E S!!!;)))))
*******************************
DH is out for his daily walk--
i am now trying to figure out what to make
for our supper;
Isn't life just full of decisions--
big, medium and small ones???
We had DH's spaghetti last
evening and there are noodles
leftover, so I may fry them up
with onions, garlic, herbs
and throw in some shrimp for
my meal.
A definite "gibblot";))))
He says he will use
the rest of the leftover sauce and
meatballs over rice --
just enough for one...
We often "do our own thing"
for dinners...
I am so lucky to have such a
wonderful husband who likes
to cook 💕💖💘
*****************************
At noon, we will be watching
the Brazilian Grand Prix...
That's the story so far today;
I hope your Sunday is
a wonderful one....
Hugs, Julierose,
La Blageuse
( relieved-now-euse)
P.S. is anyone else feeling like a
"Cranky-Pants" with this time change over????
We definitely are👿
