RAINDANCE, LONG AGO (Orange Edition)

Still using up my orange scraps; made four of these" babies"
using my Southwestern theme: (When I started  Sherri-Lyn's (daintytime.net)
Mod Mood tutorial, I had learned how to free-cut wedges and sew them together.  (Note to self--take out that UFQ and get on with it!!) 


Just randomly cut, no templates.

AND:  here I am starting to put all these various pieces together into a small wallhanging:

I plan to applique those head/foot dresses and the background (hard to see here) will be a light peach color....

Think I want warmer weather to come?????(LOL!)
Ai-yai-yai!  Muy, muy caliente!! Hot, Hot, Hot!!

I kind of enjoy figuring out this quilt top (lotsa measuring and trimming!).

I have "Hello Dolly" in the dryer--all snippety-doo-dahed!  Fingers crossed.  Hope it comes out okay...

Longing for Spring (tra-la)

SUNDAY SNEAK PEEK


Spent 3 hours cutting 100 (!) Christmas fabric blocks for the reverse of "Hello Dolly" and setting them up on the design wall--after removing the 100 from yesterday and organizing them into labeled rows.


This "monsta" is too big to photograph in its alltogether!!  
Here is a look at the fabrics:

This is definitely 'Kota playing in the snow....
AND

















Here's Santa....

                                                                           And Angels caroling....


                                                       
 And Frosty, of course.....

Tomorrow, I hope to cut the 100 (! sigh) 5.5" pieces of light batting to put in between.  

THEN.....(apologies to Raymond Chandler...) "The Looong Sew"....

Ooops, time to put in the ham...see ya all  Julierose, La Blageuse
