PEARS OJOS, et al

 
Here is my "Pears Ojos" progress...
[if you click you can see that the
central square is all quilted...]


I am presently working on the
square directly above it
↧↧↧↧
If you click you can see where
I've "parked" my needle
part way through..
  
Little by little I am getting this done...
;)))))

(Note: for some reason the colors seem
washed out in these photos...??)

FABRIC JOURNAL PROGRESS
Christmas Journal 
Page Two:

I finished this late this morning....

I was wondering if more should be
added, but in the end
I decided that with the busy 
background
it is done...

The fabric I used for the body of
the tree is part of an old
damask tablecloth of 
my Mom's...

I just love its subtlety...

And here are the first two pages of
this journal together...
↶↶↶↶
I plan to use that green/blue-black
fabric (another Jason Yenter print)
throughout as much as is feasible...
I hate to waste any snippet of it!!

I think of the first page as the "doorway"
into my journal 
and the Christmas Tree
takes you into the Season.

*********************************
Here is my  Winter Journal tree
in progress...

There are five layers of
rounded branches on  this tree...
[click for closeup]

I used this older fabric that has
been in my stash forever!!

↡↡↡↡
I thought its subtle colorations of greens, and 
whites and grays looked like it could 
become--
snow laden branches...

Now I have to decide how to 
and how much to embellish
this page....
My  Winter Journal 
is meant to have simpler pages.

I hope it is cooler where you are than here...
