My Winter Journal page
is finished...
I added a snowflake on the top
to fulfill the 2nd prompt.
I included a cluster at the
top right --which was
an embellishment for
this prompt--
I have never made fabric
clusters before and
wasn't sure what to use;
and tried to keep it simple..
[you can click on any
photo and it will

I used some leftover pink raw silk
from my CQ days,
leaving the edges all frayed.
I love that look
💗
Then;;;;;;
I added some silver beads
and topped it with a MOP button...
(mother-of-pearl button).
Here are the Wreath page and Tree page
as they will appear in the Winter Journal
side by side:
I am liking the plain and simple
look in contrast to the more
colorful and embellished
Christmas Journal pages
below:

I like these too, just different
takes on the Christmas themes.
********************************
I am making two different bases for the
next two Winter Journal page prompts
which will be published
on August 17th.
This one is just pinned to the backing
so far↧↧↧↧
and will invisible baste them to
get those pins out of the way.
Like this:
that I basted onto
a backing page made of
light weight
linen...
As you can see they begin and end
"Willy-Nilly" and use up little
sari strip pieces and some
CQ leftovers; I will take care
of that when I pull the pages
together...
I feel like they keep in the CQ
themed backings I had
started with....
💞
***********************************
Another sweltering day--the worst so far...
Tonight will be grilled hot dogs
and beans....
Too hot to cook anything elaborate.

Yesterday, Heartstrings Group
came and picked up my
donation bags of
fabrics and some clothing.
It feels so good to have them
out of here.
My fabric shelves are a lot roomier--
4 bags gone....
I hope you are staying cool and
you can get some fun
sewing done today.
Hugs, in the AC!,
