"SUNNY DAYS" --A FINISH, et al

 
Sunny Days is finished --;))))
[except for the label and
trimming errant threads...]
My special quilt holder
was at the ready to hold this up
for the photo..

This is the last Big Quilt in my
UFO pile...
*****************************
I have three smaller pieces 
up on my design wall
that will be 
the next to be finished
or used as backings:
↓↓↓

Cross roads (which as you can see)
has a lot of glitches--I am hoping 
they will quilt out (??) .

Ojos which may be used
as a backing--I am still deciding
as I have a lot of table toppers..

And
my Mourning piece --
this one was all
free cut and hand pieced, 
and hand stitched..
a slow stitchery during my
grieving period...
😞😔

*****************************
Meanwhile, I have been busy
on my Veggie Garden for the
Down the Garden Path SAL:
this is without a doubt the 
biggest challenge for me so far:

I am pretty much finished with
this for now...I know my brain 
and hands are;))))

At the top are beets,
followed by 
carrots and cauliflowers
(I need more work on the caulis);
then artichokes --
and 
kitty has chosen her pumpkin
 ...;)))

[There are 3 kitties in my whimsical
garden of "near-vegetables"--
Can you see them all??? 
click to enlarge but please be 
kind, this is my first attempt
at anything like THIS!!]

I used the buttonhole stitch 
for the fences separating
the garden beds...I love 
that stitch...so versatile...

And:
I don't know if I can 
manage a scarecrow--
[the 2nd part of the prompt].

I will be using this next week to
figure that one out...
But for now my addled mind and
sore hands are in need of a good rest...

Hugs, Julierose
