WIP-ing

 

I have the left 9 blocks sewn 
together 
(but not in rows yet as
I will be re-arranging them)
And have begun on the next 
group of 9
If you click on the image
you can see that I am using
MSQco papers for stringing...
AND
strangely enough
it doesn't look like my scrappy
strings have diminished
at all!!
👀😧
Go figure!!

***********************
This WIP 
is coming along,
but I am taking a
rest as my hands 
flared up from hand quilting...

It is coming along...
S L O W L Y 
but,
I knew this would be a long
term project when I began
and I am okay with that...
It is a pleasure to quilt these
lovely fabrics...

***********************
Here is my 2nd fabric for my 
Hexagons
Project WIP
another long term one...
but such fun...
👵💗
An all-time favorite ;))

I have decided to USE
my special fabrics-
I mean What in the World
am I saving them for??
😦
*******************
The sun has actually deigned to come out this Sunday..
With the snow on the ground 
it is quite cold still..
not up to even freezing as yet...
I hope you are all safe and staying warm
and having a sew-wonderful
Day.

Hugs, Julierose

SNOWY UPDATE & A THANK YOU

 
I got this cool surprise gift from 
Dawn ...
such an adorable little pouch
With a RED zipper..
AND
Hubby grabbed this part of the 
two part gift
↓↓↓
You can see he's
putting it to good use
;)))
A cute Boston Red Sox
mug rug...

So we are all decked out for
watching
the 
Spring Training
Red Sox games...

THANK YOU SO MUCH DAWN...;)))
We love these...

*************************
I have begun a new diamond painting
for those of you who inquired:

This lovely girl....

And here is where I am
A lot of "confetti"
in this one
but
Very enjoyable--I love
the colors...

***********************
AND...
I have been plugging along on my
"Wild Garden" 
spiderweb quilt...

[sorry for the dark photo--
it is snowing like
crazy outside
and a dark gray day]
I am planning on keeping going
until most of the strips are used up...
So this may turn into two pieces..
We'll see..👀👀👀

***********************
So far we have had 4"+ of snow
more than was predicted,
actually...
***********************
Tonight I have made a 
Shepherd's Pie 
for our dinner...
I used frozen corn
for the veggie in this one..
and i added a bit of tomato paste
to the meat and onion mix...
I often change this one up.
************************
Stay safe and warm...
