FIFTY SHADES OF BLACK/GREY!!!


RSC13 for October:  Black and grey scraps--this little pile is IT!! (Really no 50 shades here....) I have no idea what will come out of these...think maybe some free form sewing; mostly strips from bindings and borders.  Come to find out that I don't use a lot of black/grey in my quilts--huh....

          (Sorry about that wire--that's my wall lamp over my cutting station heh heh)

My Pigtail Girl Muse is looking pretty much like she doesn't believe that I can put these into any kind of finished product , doesn't she??

Well, we will see....for now, I am off to the garden center for potting soil and a hanging pot for my totally overgrown spider plant....have a super Saturday  hugs, Julierose, La Blageuse

DECIDING (?)--SUNDAY THOUGHTS


I've decided I am going to "enjoy" tying my "Blues-ey" quilt & just take my time.  Slowly....admiring all those old fabrics that recall my other quilts..(.the backing I've turned over is an all-time favorite, just a little bit left now....)...bits and pieces of the past....shards of memories tiling in my thoughts......


Can you "decide" to enjoy ???  I think so...making carefully tied taut knots; ; ; snipping the ends carefully...humming ...an old song running through my mind that my father used to play so beautifully on the piano....hearing my Mom singing along....in my young days...falling asleep to those wonderful, comforting sounds of home. 

What do you think?  Can you decide to enjoy??? 

Au Revoir, Julierose, La Blageuse..
