Tom turned 86 yesterday; we had a
little afternoon celebration
just we two...
👫
Today will be echo quilting around
A little birthday cupcake as we are
both trying to cut back on calories....
Need I say more???
😀😁😂😃😄

He still has his sense of humor...
I asked what he'd like for dinner
and he said
"Meatloaf with
mashed potatoes
and gravy"
Yuuuum.....
We watched the first "F1" warm up
last evening...
this week the race
takes place in Australia..
&
A lot of "rookie" drivers are
starting this year, so it should
be very
interesting.....
;)))
***************************
I am now working on my
3rd and final Strawberry
the strawberry....
*********************
I am continuing to work on block 3
for my "Dark Days"
Comfort Cloth SAL
It is now all basted
in place to the background--
and
uneven 9-patch and
added the "heart color insert"
that mimics the heart on
the First block...
I followed K3N's directions
this week and
cut away the little
top strip square--
(the piece is from the
horizontal lavender strip)--
in the center and
inserted the pinky-red
fabric, cut from an old
tie-dyed fabric in my stash,
to mimic that heart...
(I took a very deep breath before
cutting that out, believe me!!--)
But it worked out fine...
I am holding the little square
in place with some
Boro-style stitching...
then-----
I outlined the 9 patch with
a line of
whipped running stitches
and added another line of
little crosses that are
meant to be
representations
of Springtime flowers
on the mountain strips...
I may add another line
of pinky-red
running stitches..
and
it still needs to be quilted in
some manner...
Here is how this block will
look next to the original
1st two blocks..
*******************
Cloudy and 41 today...
Tonight's supper
will be spaghetti
with meat sauce
(Bolognese style)
and little garlic rolls.
Hugs, Julierose
