SWEET 16, et al

 

Here are my "Many Trips" blocks;
so far, I've made 16.
And--
They are "growing" on me...
I have 4 more to finish that
bottom row...

↡↡↡↡
[Notice the top right block:↟↟↟
I used a really dark strip
there--luckily I have 
another matching one
So when I sew the blocks in 
their final setting, I can
use those two 
in the middle maybe..so
they won't stand out
so much...]


It took me a while to figure out the
ironing procedure
for these, but I 
"understand" it now...
Easy really...

Once in a while though, 
Jack the Ripper
has to be called in --
mainly when I begin 
separating the 
tubes..
and then
I have to do 
some re-sewing
πŸ‘€πŸ‘ΊπŸ‘€
aaargh!!

**********************
My lilies are still not in bloom...
perhaps this rain we've had will
coax them out???

And my Rhodie by the
front side of our house
gave us a wonderful
extravaganza 
of color this year!!
I keep on looking for fabric
with these color variations...

By the side of our garage and
in front of tv room these
bloomed well
What lovely colors...
I love the throat hues 
on these...

Leaving you on this beautiful sunny
day with 
Hugs, and good thoughts,
