JACK'S BACK(ing)

 

Blue Moon

will be my backing for 

Starry-Eyed Jack

↴↴↴↴

In commemoration of this

Covid year's 

Halloween's

Full Blue Moon

And---

Since Starry-Eyed Jack is so busy--

(Halloween and all),

I thought a serene floating 

blue moon among the 

skeleton trees

would make a nice contrast...

************************************

On my Butterfly

embroidery project

I have finished Purple Butterfly ;)))

I have three more to go...

My next color(s) will be

shades of brown..

**************************

And the grandgirls'

Mini Dolly pieces are

all pinned and ready for

quilting...

I was waiting to get my Helga set up

for quilting so that I would have

a few pieces ready to go..

Next up will be setting up the

machine (Helga) with my walking foot

after I applique 

and then

quilt...

JACK IS BACK

 

My Starry-Eyed Jack 

mini quilt  

is together..

(click to enlarge)

And

Actually, I am happy 

with how it looks--

with the "Geese" circling

Around...;)))

****************************

And...

Now for the back--

("Slip out the back, Jack,

       make a new plan Stan...")

I am planning a Blue Moon to 

commemorate 

this Halloween's 

Full Moon...

Hugs, Julierose,

La Blageuse,

A TRICK-- NOT A TREAT

 

I finished sewing my Geese this morning..

AND

Here is the pattern rendering below here

↡↡↡↡

Can you SEE what I did??

I made those darned GEESE 

BACKWARDS..

[$#%&*@#$%^]

The wings should have been

all the lighter color....

👾👿💀👻👺👹

                                 

{Even in High School geometry class I had a lot of trouble

SEEING the shapes....

sort of a SHAPE DYSLEXIA

I guess...}

BOO!!

HISS!!

BOO!!

😨😱😲🙀😭😭

👻👻👻👻

Well, I am NOT doing them over...

My geese, in honor of Halloween

will fly BACKWARDS....

S  I  G  H  !

[Trick or treat

smell my feet,

Give me 

something

good to eat..]

I think this calls for a nice piece of chocolate

What do you think???

👵💃😷🙏

Hugs,

Julierose,

La blageuse,

(unable to follow a pattern

unless there are explicit instructions--

and even then....-euse)

SUNDAY SET UP

 

Early morning sunrise here....

I can still hear my Father playing the piano accompaniment,

while my mother sang--

 as I lay in bed at night as a child.....

"Long Ago and Faraway"...

GEESE IN FLIGHT

 

Here are my first two

sets of 

Flying Geese

For the borders

of ↧↧↧↧

My Starry-Eyed Jack  project...

I have the rest all marked and

ready to sew...

I am only doing two sets per day

to make sure my arm doesn't

get sore from

rotary trimming...

I will have to see how they all play together

********************************

It is another gray, cloudy, and misty

day here...

on the warm side for late October:

60.3 degrees (F)

******************************

Tonight we will be having "Breakfast for Supper":

Omelet, Bacon, homefries (from scratch)

and toast...

I hope you are all staying well, 

Wear your masks, 

Hugs, Julierose, 

La Blageuse 

(sewing-a bit-euse)

WHERE I AM

 

Here are the girls' two

mini dolly quilts 

ready to be pinned before I quilt them...

I hope to begin them tomorrow...

****************************

AND....

I am feeling a lot better;

 thank you-- 

all who have asked...

💖

I am working in little tiny bits of time

on everything

resting in between...

****************************

BUTTERFLY:

{"Poor butterfly

'Neath the 

blossoms 

waiting..."}

Coming along

S L O W L Y 

**************************************

Tom put this up just outside

our living room window

yesterday...

Fun to watch during

our 4'0clock 

cocktail hour...

[They will eat us out of house and home

evidently!!]

********************************

And I finished 

THE WAVE:

It is hanging just by the

entrance to my craft space...

(What looks like a mark is

only a reflection that I could not

get rid of)

******************************

So things are moving, but very slowly....

I am able to walk for 10 minutes on our treadmill

now....which really feels good...

I hope you are all well and staying safe...

DISGUISES

 

This fellow came into my sewing

room 

in disguise

↡↡↡↡↡

He was dressed up as

"Starry-Eyed Jack"

;)))))

WHO KNEW????

I originally saw this little mini quilt

on Lizzy's blog

"Gone 2 The Beach"

Her version is so adorable--

I know a "squirrel"

when I see one-- hahaha

This is such an adorable Jan Patek pattern.

I am not doing needleturn applique,

(all of you who follow me know that

I cannot do that type of applique)

Instead:

I fused Jack's face together first;

(OUCHie)

and then fused it down to 

my treed background...

NEXT

I will be attempting to make some Flying Geese 

(actually bats in disguise)

Which I have never made before....

;)))

************************************

As a result, everything else is on

H O L D...

**************************************

And today I awoke to my 

shoulder/neck ache again 

so--------

I will be resting for the weekend...

[BOO]

Have a wonderful weekend...

Hugs, Julierose,
