ORANGE(S)



Here are the latest of 3 RSC13 orange blocks..

(Don't you love that "tacky" tack on my Wall???)

  the centers are all those "broken dishes" squares I made.....






I have challenged myself to make blocks I've never tried before!  WOW--stars take a bit of time.... 









I have also finished all the sewing on "Hello Dolly"!  It is ready for the snippity-snipping!  And speaking of "Dollies":

Just look who dropped in yesterday....


...bringing her own "dolly"..my little sweetie, Fiona. (Don't you just love those bell bottoms with that cute top???


Hello, hello...this call is for you...


"Orange" you hungry????  
What fun!!

"MARCH"ING FORWARD FRIDAY--PROGRESS



Three rows sewn together on "Hello Dolly" (out of ten):  I have set myself a goal of one row a day...now that I have stacked the fronts, backs and batting squares, labeled them and put them in order. 

 It gets a little confusing on the back as in Row 4 there are alternating blocks (angels/snowflakes).  Will have to keep (what's left of my..)wits about me so as not to mess it up!!  


Here is a view of my cutting table with all those blocks ready to sandwich (hmm, I forgot to eat lunch...) and put in rows.










A pile of sandwiches ready to go....(HAM SALAD SOUNDS GOOD....lol)

We had tons of rainy weather this week and here's what's left of the snow looking out my sewing room window:


We are so looking forward to sitting out on our back deck this year.  Doesn't February seem like the LONGEST month--it's only 28 days, but they seem to stretch on  forever.....
Not a whole lot left (yay!!) -- I am hoping for an early Spring.  I need to see those daff-y-down dillies poking up through the earth...some color to relieve all this grey grayness!

I wish you all a super quilty weekend...hugs, Julierose, La Blageuse
