BEACH HOUSES LONG AGO: REVERSE

Hello, I am able to post with my old computer re-formatted -- (Thanks DH)

Here is the beginnings of the back of my Beach Houses little wall hanging...on my design wall--I am still sewing 1/4 sq. triangles....

Don't look too closely to the Sun--there are puckers in there--my first attempt at doing paper piecing and curves--actually the PP-ing went fine--but those curves--oh-my!!  


See those little pleats--aaargh--but, you know what??  (No, what!--LOL) I am leaving them and I will quilt over them or bead over them or whatever--it will be a memento of my 1st attempt...I kind of like that idea..."warts and all".

And here is Miss Libby helping me with this post:


she is a good girl and follows us everywhere--her first time away from her "people" and in a new area....she is keeping us on our toes( between DH's poor foot and my plantar Facietis--(sp??) it is a challenge--but fun!  We are getting a lot of doggie kisses....  ;---))))

HAPPIEST OF JULY 4TH'S TO YOU ALL....


And here she is helping me to text to her "people" on vacation--she looks a little forlorn--oh, poor baby...

Hugs, Julierose, La blageuse....

STILL HERE --LIMPING ALONG

NO PIX --ALL GONE (so sad....)...

Wishing you all a very Happy July 4th-

(-DH re-formatted my old computer, so I can at least have a few basics...all my favorites, pix, etc --have gone into that great ether in the computerland cloud)...
 BUT....Has anyone else noticed that Google Reader is still functioning?  Strange....

Also, has anyone else tried to leave comments and found that the comment box is totally blacked out?  Sooo, you cannot read what you've written?  Please excusez-moi for any unintended misspellings or missed wording...I'll leave you all to enjoy your stitching...I am doing 1/4 square triangles with my new die for Go! Baby (GO!)  Hugs, Julierose, La blageuse (sort of)...

My darling DH has ordered me a new computer--until then I will be taking an ENFORCED BLOG BREAK!!  Cannot stand this BLACKNESS--too, too awful!!  Am working on a small repro 1.5 inch squares small quilt, my hexies, and the back of Beach Houses...in the meantime, in between time--"..ain't we got fun?"

Miss Libby has arrived and such a sweetheart of a girl.  We are falling in love with her already!!  She is too, too funny--makes us laugh a lot!

Have a wonderful JULY 4th all of you,,Hugs, au revoir Julierose, La Blageuse

RSC13 YELLOW "SLABS'" THIS WEEK

SLABS FOR CALGARY, ALBERTA, CANADA

I made these two "slabs" for donation to the flood ravaged Southern Alberta, Canada  today.

Cheryl @ Dining room Empire has requested quilt bloggers to donate these for her sewers and longarm quilter to put together to donate to the needy up there.  



She will make quilts in the above style.  You can read all about it on her blog.....

Here are two closer shots of my "slabs"....


I figured this way, I'd be fulfilling my RSC13 June "yellow" work and helping out...maybe you'd like to help out, too, 

Hugs, Julierose, La Blageuse

YELLOW FOR THE FIRST SATURDAY OF SUMMER


HERE IS ANOTHER LITTLE CHEDDAR-Y  PIECE for the yellow RSC13 June...haven't had a whole lot of sewing time this week because....welll...it hasn't been a fun week for either of us...

my dear DH fell off the last two cellar steps and fractured his ankle (and various other parts!) and is now wearing an ankle boot, icing and generally resting.  (That little bell is getting annoying!  Hahaha--just kidding) His whole foot is purple--even his poor lil' toesies...

And, I am feeling a bit better--getting over my infection and feeling more human as each day goes by.  We are really kind of just resting our poor selves up for next week when we will be dog sitting for Libby for a week and for DH's gigs coming up..

Will be back posting soon...til then--have a great first weekend of Summertime
Hugs, Julierose, La Blageuse
