16-PATCHES, et al

 

Here are the four latest 16-patch blocks
made with my leftover 30's jelly roll strips...
that I sewed together this morning...

I have two more full length strata--in this group
of 30's leftovers...
So there will be 4 more blocks to come...
As I can get 2 blocks from each 2 strips
sewn together...

Mary Ann, (click) commented that she was astounded
to think of what I would pay today for these 10 JR's!!

I figure at today's prices around some $500.00!!!!
(Fabric prices in general have risen and are still rising!!)
SO....
I want to shop my stash this year...if I can
stop being tempted by all these beauties that
keep on coming out!!
👹👽👿
***********************
Here is the next to last panel finished
on my Sentimental Scroll:
I added kantha stitching and 4 little fabric roses

Two on either side...
And i am now ready to attach it to the scroll with this
lace piece...


One more panel to go and a closure...

*******************************
We are all set with our newly installed
thermostat:

Here is where Tom has been for almost
24 hours now--programming the thing!!!
"My Sweet Babu" has gotten it all set
for us...he is so good at
 all this electronic stuff...

Since this is the start of February I will include
a shot of my first two Junque Journal pages
in my Trader Joe's Pita Cracker box
for the month:
This photo is a picture of my Mom when little;
and on this page at an even younger age
She and I have always worn bangs 
;))))));

I hope you are all staying warm during these 
cold cold days and able to do some 
fun sewing...
