ZIPPING ALONG, PEARS OJOS, et al

 
My latest Zipper block...
The last of the Cherries
fabric that I have been
hoarding....💓

Since 
I was able to do some cutting
today, I set these four 
zipper blocks up--
[some old  and some new fabrics...]
All ready to sew--I am enjoying
sewing these together...

I have no idea how they will all
"go" together--
Maybe just higgeldy-piggeldy??
(In my usual casual way?)

And 
this one-- beside my machine...
for tomorrow' s sewing...
is this old, old favorite fabric 
that a friend, now long gone
swapped with me ....
;))))
I've been sewing one a day--but 
I may try to stretch to two--
depends on
Le Dos (the back!!).

********************
Meantime, on the hand quilting front:
PEARS OJOS
⇣⇣⇣
I have finished the 3 large central
blocks..YAY!!
:)))
[click to enlarge--I don't know if you
can see them clearly?]

I will begin on the outer
 side strip blocks this evening...

Here is a picture of the back where
the quilting may be easier to see...
👀👀👀👀
I really like this 
basket fabric a lot;
and the quilting really makes it look
vintage, all pulled in like that.
Lots of texture...

FYI
This is for Cathy ;)))

On the LG Fridge compressor and 
circuit board early deaths:

💀💀❤❤❤

We are in negotiations with LG--
they said they would get back to us
in the next 24 hrs about some kind
of reimbursement for 
our 4 yr-3mo. old
LG!!
(fingers crossed)

And we are also awaiting the 
delivery of our new
Whirlpool side-by-side fridge
in about
30 minutes...


hugs, Julierose, La Blageuse
