FOR VIVIAN

VIVIAN FROM: the Bronx Quilter wanted to see my finished Ladies (sorry for the crooked pix)!! 


Below are all the blocks in their finished forms:

Here i used my Grand-mere's old buttons from her button box....

and this block (above) is a little plainer.....I let the fabric do the work here--and doesn't it look windy in there????;--))))

And, she seems almost like an angel to me..at first, that orange color threw me...so
I tried incorporating a bit of it in some of the other blocks....

I loved adding the headdresses  --les Dames just seemed to need them.... 

This one above was my favorite to stitch...and took the longest!! 
thanks to my Grand-mere--i already know all these stitches--but there are so many new ones to learn also, that it just doesn't get old....could she be a "Mermaid"????

            
this was a totally rewarding project--slow, and a real break from machine quilting...

I highly recommend Crazee Quilting...

HAND BASTING

this rainy gray afternoon, I am hand basting my 9's to a light
backing --the better to embroider.....

Join me @ kathy's quilts to see what we are all slow stitching....

FRIGHT NIGHT CHOCOLATE

                                                   CARAMEL CHOCOLATES.......

(And so another month of 2015 RSC finishes....visit super scarey scrappy for more action....

                                  Meanwhile...........a scarey story is unfolding right here ..........

                                                These kittens are all devilishly excited---

                                   Unbenounced to those birds below who are  busy
                                         finding the last of November's pickings.....
           
                                                 THERE IS PERIL IN THE AIR....................

.                                             could there be a HALL-O-WEEN massacre????

                             And, in the kitchen, Mama is dipping pears in chocolate....
                                                        for a tasty treat.....
                                       Let's hope she corrals those kittens on the prowl....

     AND, THEN...
                             TAP TAP TAP-- YIKES....I HEAR THE SOUND OF HAMMERING......

                               IS SOMEONE NAILING TOGETHER COFFINS IN THE BARN????

                                Beware the ghosts and ghoulies out tonight. MY FRIENDS

                               HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO YOU ALL  ;--0000000 ( LOLOL)

ADHD?????

                                             MY WALL, THAT IS........(2/3rds here)

                                                    THE OTHER 1/3RD here --6 done

I couldn't get the whole wall in one shot, but talk about working on different projects!!
ACK!!

when I look at it, I think ADHD thinking, for sure!!                    



and.........here are two hand sewn 9-patches now......(don't you love all those pins??)

My mind is as scattered as all those leaves down on our lawn....blowing this way and that....
certainly no "PLAN"...but then, what else is new??

Hugs
Julierose, La Blageuse, scatter-euse

BOO!! SEWING

I'LL BE SLOW SUNDAY STITCHING with Kathy and her friends this rainy afternoon.

I found my Skull (brrrr) and this wonderful dotted fabric for the background of my
                                            "BOO TO YOU"
wall hanging for Halloween.  (Some of those little dots are teeny skulls too!!)

I think Mr. Scarey Pants looks very content surrounded by webs, spiders, bats  and creepy crawlies......

AND.......................
Speaking of spiders.....

there are now three complete webs...as of this morning.....let's see...........29 more to
go......

And this little  one came "out of the closet" (I can hear all the others murmuring and muttering--
"why didn't she get me outta here?????")

I had begun this when I took an online class with Jude Hill at "Spirit Cloth"....a few years ago...
this is all hand work..and my own drawing (gee--can't you tell?? an artiste I am not).

.I need to tack down the woven bottom....this will be a little page keeper
for a friend this year....She is "Ms. Wintercat."....even though she's cold,-- her heart is warm....

hugs to you all on this grey Sunday--hop on over to Kathy's blog to see what hand sewers are up to (see linky above:--)))

AUTUMN VIEWS

           The view outside our back door is really heating up! 

Now who said Red and orange don't go together--in the 1950's you couldn't even think of wearing them together....(boy that dates me!!).

                         Rasberry and gold: yummy

AND inside:
my Christmas (?) Cactus is about ready to join the show:

I got this white variety last year--the inside of the blossoms turn a lovely shell pink as they begins to fade.......

Here is the whole plant that lived out on my front stoop all Summer long

Now it resides in my side tv room--it seems to be happy here...it's
calling to its mate (the brilliant pink one next to it) to bloom, too....

It has been a quiet and gray Saturday here....much reading, no sewing,
but able to prep some more little 9-patch squares for hand work....

I hope you are all having a lovely weekend ...

Hugs, Julierose La Blageuse (hoping for rain-euse)

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY (HANDS ALONE EDITION)

      P.S.  Later...it seems that the Flu Bug (le bibette) has bitten me...so still under the weather.....
Light chocolate will have to wait until next week......
OOPS: forgot to say go to: Superscrappy to see all the great chocolate projects there this week ;--))))
