FRANKEN-FLIMSEY

                                                                TAH-DAH......
               I Finished Franken-measuring and Franken-pinning--
                and finally--- 
                         Franken-sewing on of borders this morning...

                  {I had just enough Christmas Puppy fabric left to 
                     piece together the top and bottom border pieces...}

And my ladies are happy now...






Ummm, can I relax
Now???






                                              I've been watching you....

                                               Are we done yet???





                                          Actually I'm the one who figured this out for you...
                                                my being a "Franken-Fairy" and all..

HAPPY BATIK BORDERS IN HEXAGONIA

I found this very old Batik in my pile and pulled it out today just because it was brown, but I think I really like it:



What do you think? Kind of "garden-looking" for my flowers....

I like ithe way it gathers all the shades of brown and lets the flowers pop out even more....

Like here --- and


here...I really tried all different colors and was really frustrated and  not finding anything that looked good.  I think this leafy batik makes me very happy.  I tend to buy fabric not for specific projects, but because they "speak" to me....how about you?

Now, I am going to handquilt this one--and I promise -- no more "Diamonds Are Forever" until it is totally done....Julierose, La Blageuse

 P.S.  have you been following the brouhaha about fabric designers?  Astounding, disappointing and unbelievable, I feel.  Especially for "scrappy" quilters.....
