FLITTING AROUND

                   
                                                          More BUTTERFLY rounds....
                                                     on my S L O W Holiday project
                                                    I am only working on this one thing...

The Left border 4 patches have been sewn together (I had to use just a 2-patch to make the
length on the side....) but not yet attached...
And the right side ones are to be sewn tomorrow.

                                                     I need to rest my hand as it is

                                              Sore from cutting strips and sewing.....so done
                                                                           for
                                                                         the day...;000


.After this, my next decision will be  whether to stay with the dark green garden fabric strips  or not--
Adding borders a bit at a time....20 minutes of  sewing/cutting  intervals...then resting
*****************************************
This afternoon I will be watching the Patriots v. Miami Dolphins--(we are Patriot fans here).
And maybe indulging in a few Cape Cod Chips--ya think??? lol

***********************************
Here is my surprise Amaryllis--the package gave no indication as to the color.....

Looks like I may get 3 {;))) } flowers from this one...it sits on my bookcase right next to my tv
watching recliner...
The tag does show red--but then, all the tags were a generic representation
of an amaryllis..with no name or directions...fingers crossed ...a surprise is nice...right? 

Hugs,
Julierose, La Blageuse... (go Pats-euse)

BUTTERFLY PROGRESS

                                        Butterfly Garden has begun to come together.....

I am thinking that I want to make this a Medallion center...

I don't have anymore of the 1st round flowery fabric left...so will try to find some-
thing that will pick up that peach-ey color....

Madam Zalonga forsees a lot of "Stash Diving" in your future...;*-}}}

hugs on a Sunny Sunday in CT; but very cold brrrrr..........

BUTTERFLY DREAMS

I REMOVED THE BATIK STRIPS, THINKING THEY WERE TOO GEOMETRIC AND
A BIT ON THE HARSH SIDE :
                                                              See ...      ↡

                                                                Not my style at all....
Soooo....
Instead I put that peach flowery print around and then FOUND more of this surrounding print
in my greens pile...I had forgotten that I had MORE--what a nice surprise....;))):
                                                        ↡                                   ↡

And then,
I added that Dark green flowered print (above on the bottom)
                                     YES!!!      that's more like it.....                                                 
                             
 --I will continue the rounds with those two for a bit in courthouse steps style...
                                       (So much for taking a break from sewing, huh?)
and this is.........
My story (and I'm sticking to it!!) :

I was trying to nap, as I hardly slept last night...and this butterfly vision kept swirling around in my brain--I just knew the 1st look wasn't what I truly wanted...just not right...too stark...pretty batik
and nice colors but just not ME!! And I want to make it pretty...;))))))
So,
Now: My lovely butterfly is surrounded by a garden...🌷🌹
How lovely is that thought....especially in this really cold weather  brrrrr....
Hugs, 
Julierose La blageuse (and....I dream of quilts-euse)
