HELLO DOLLY!!

Here's "Sugar Plum Dolly" all finished.  I just love the way these quilts fluff up when washed.

A little closer view of those fluffed-up seams!  such fun to make. (A definite Peek-a-Boo)

I have to thank Connie, at "Green Apple Orchard "  for her tremendous video tutorial on cutting these seams. I followed her instructions--and VOILA--it came out perfectly.

That finishes up my Christmas sewing--and I have another  TA---DAH---finished all my shopping.  PHEW!  I am so relieved to have figured out what to give everyone.  Some years it is hard to know.
AND:
One last photo of the finished big "Sugar Plum Fairy" quilt:

And I am dancin' outta here for this grey Saturday afternoon...see you all later,

TACIT TUESDAY (snip snip edition)

"SUGA, SUGA....HONEY HONEY..."

I am 1/2 done with this surprise  top--so now you can see that this will be a "rag" comfy little quilt--

You have to just love this fabric--the wings have sparkles on them, too!!

I numbered each left hand block row  (sorry for the blur here) eg: L1, L2 etc and then went very slowly sewing them together so that all the seams are exposed on only ONE side (sigh)...Four more rows to go.

And here is "Honey, Honey":--))---------- we had a super Thanksgiving at my daughter's :

All my wonderful grandchildren--aren't I lucky?  

Mmmwah to all

SUGARPLUM FAIRIES ARE COMIN' TO TOWN.....

Sugar Plum Fairies Dancin' into town today...Fa-La-La-Laaaa-
La-La-La--Laaa.  I've been busy sewing these girls into rows today--what fun!!  
This is the "Shhhh" project I'm working on.  Also, making a mini-matching quilt for someone "special".  {Keep it under your hat}

Also, got my Mary Mandala mounted:

The background fabric was a gift from a close friend who got it for me when she visited China last year.  Now, I have to find a frame.....

Here's a closer look at the beading.. and...

here's a good shot of those hands--they are so evocative of my life, Tom's, Mom's and all my musician friends....

Tonight I made my Minestrone zuppa and we munched on garlic bread along with it--yummy. 

 It IS a wonderful life....Julierose, La Blageuse ["...Santa Claus is comin' to Town]

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

I BRING YOU, ALL MY BLOGGY FRIENDS,  MY GOOD WISHES FOR A WONDERFUL TURKEY DAY--ENJOY, Julierose, La Blageuse
