I am linking up with sarah did it for her weekly group of temp quilters....
So four more days to be added to this line up....I must say that I am not really
enamored with the Paper Pieces' card that they use for the shapes--too heavy -- and
I really am not fond of the glue basting--I am finding it difficult to stitch into the edges....
I will make my own elongated hexies out of my usual freezer paper
(using the PP ones as templates) and go back to hand basting for July....SLOWER
BUT EASIER ON MY HANDS AND MUCH MORE RELAXING.....
**************
FYI:
STAY TUNED hexagon lovers if you like PP templates........
I will be having a little Hexagonia Giveaway soon of all my various sizes of hexagons from
Paper Pieces--(only reserving one of each so that I can trace my own on freezer papers.)
Let me know in the comments below if any of you would be interested....

Tomorrow Helga is going on a rejuvenation SPA visit to be tuned up; it's been 7 years'
worth of sewing and quilting and her teeth are chattering (;{{{{) very loudly and she's
just needing to be massaged back into working order....Sooo, I am machine-less for a bit as
my repair guy is on vacation this week....
********************************************************
In other news, I am trying out various watercolor pencils and Inktense pencils in my
various coloring books....very relaxing and joyous...
though I am making mostly a big mess!! But that is part of the learning
process....
*************************************
I really love this Reindeer material (makes my heart jump for joy when I
look at it! )........................ ;)))
and I even have enough for the 2nd basket piece's revers side...
One of these two will be gifted...to whom, you may ask, welllll
that is a S E C R E T for now.....
I put this one together "envelope style" (see the pinned area turned in on the bottom
where I turned it after pulling it right side out?). So this piece is waiting for
Helga's vacation to be over so I can quilt it; meanwhile I am trying to decide
how I want to quilt it....
**************************************
Today our weather is just perfect--cooling breezes and a blue and gold day like I recall
from my childhood ............
(don't we all remember those long ago lazy
Summertime days so free of worry and stress?
I know I think back on them often--
seeing myself stretched out on a little hillside ,,,,,,
just watching the big puffy white clouds shape shifting
and just "BEING").
I will be back posting after a small break while Helga is on her rejuvenation trip....
hugs, Julierose (La Blageuse--resting-euse)
