IT'S RED, FRED!!!

Really RED :  My latest "fun" project:  

A little loosely sewn "Robbing Peter to Pay Paul" (or in this case, "FRED" LOL)

I have no idea where this is going; but it is fun to just not worry it at all...
And so it goes, when you can't decide what to do:

                                                  PLAY!!!!

Have a super weekend, hugs, Julierose, La Blageuse

SNEAKEY SNAKEY--GROWS OVERNIGHT


Look what happened last night!!  My Red RSC13 snakey grew overnight!  It added: (I don't know how I got a double of this one--good ol' Blogger strikes agin'!!)

AND more to its other end, too:



I managed to see some more progress on my Scrap-a-licious strip quilt blocks, too:

Here is the left side additions and...

















The left side....this is all that's left of my chosen scraps


and the next two strips waiting to be sewn into blocks:

I am really enjoying making these strips--such fun!  Tonight I have a stack of paper backed ones to strip while I watch "Rosemary & Thyme" --a fun PBS series that I missed out on....

I hope your upcoming weekend is full of fun sewing and quilting...

FINALLY --A FINISH FOR FRIDAY

TA-DAH:  I have sewn the last hexie on the reverse of my table runner...am glad I chose greens with the pansies...and here is the front/reverse:


This, will be a Springtime table topper I think...NOW to place them together with my accuquilt pre-cut little hexie batting pieces inside and machine embroider....

Also, here is my latest idea for putting my "Sea Glass" blocks together--what do you think???   I haven't ever done cornerstones.......so this will be a measuring/learning process....




And here is a peek of my new handwork project:  I was able to use my accuquilt GO! Baby to cut all the freezer papers and then just ironed them onto the shapes--easy-peasey...love that machine.....




The big hexies are all neutrals and all the fabrics (or most all) are modern (darkish maroons, pinks and some light violets).  A real departure for me...

I am feeling better---if this darn old cough would go away and my other ear would open up!!  I hope you all have a wonderful weekend...Quiltingly yours,
Julierose, La Blageuse
