MY LITTLE BOX

 

My Little Box

is

set up

for hand sewing 👋

The lowest layer 

contains tools

A Needle Threader

has become 

ESSENTIAL

these days!!

And

this is the top = Working

Layer...

Voila!!

As you can now see...

I am once again

Traveling to

 

H E X A G O N I A.

Allows me to pass

these resting hours...

And Below is the 2nd layer

with the hexies sewn on papers...

they are mounting up 

pretty quickly...

I am using the

"KISMET"

fabric line for all the

hexagons. 

I 💝this line. 

I have yet to decide

what form the finished

piece will take...

For right now,,,,

just sewing, sewing

and more sewing...

I like these big wheels☝

of hexies 

And👇

this idea, too...

But we shall see 

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

I am still waiting on the "call"

from the MD...

So I  am trying to pass 

the time.

Reading, and re-reading books,

knitting

and now sewing

hexagons...

Hugs, Julierose

We are still in waiting mode here; hubster's surgery is scheduled for 
Feb 1st...

I've been doing my Zentangle doodling and glue booking--to try to calm 
myself..if I get all squirrelly--then what help will I be....right???;000

Anyway--I did try to cut some fabric--threw my back out (yet another
sad tale of woe---  ack!!) Has this ever happened to any of you??
--I think I pressed down way too hard--time for a new blade....

I will leave you with another sunset picture for today....

                       Love the lavender in this one....

We have been watching "Victoria" on Masterpiece theater Sunday evenings--
totally addicted both to that and "The Crown".  
I am reading and finally feeling better ....
Hoping to DO SOMETHING in my sewing room worthy of pictures....SOON

FIRST COIN TOSS PROCESS/WAITING

Here are are few "in progress"
pictures of my coin strips...
My first trial of adding wonky separator
strips,
THIS SAT THERE FOR A
LONG WHILE.....















AND THEN......................

Here, after much thought and fiddling about,  a bit wider..with the curved separator strips.....
I do like the organic
look of these a lot.....

NEXT: came this.........

Trial borders...................really really dark though......and I didn't like the abruptness
of the coins to the very dark strips at all and, so more waiting and fiddling-----------
to this:

Nope, didn't like it....something is still out of whack, doesn't feel right...

AND: finally...AHHH-HAAA...

                                                                Y E S !!

I added some small outer light strips on left and right to ease the change to the dark outer strips --I hoped

...and then added :

the top and bottom mottled fabric  which picks up that little mini strip in the center.
(can you see that little jewel pieced strippy?)
..this fabric was what began the whole thing; and strangely I only used a little bit...but I like how it livens up the others....

And finally my dark surround..  

I think I like it as is. 

My object was a trial, small Improv piece.  And to see if I liked the process--all about process for me...and I find that despite the slowness of this process, I liked
fiddling around and doing a little bit at a time.  I had to take many breaks--and sit and stare at it a lot....moving this, moving that, trying out....

And so this stands...but I think I'm done with this one...my first
 Coin Toss:-- "Midnight Garden".;)))

*************************************************************************
And with hubby in hospital still, I used my sewing as therapy for worry....
So, perhaps this darkish piece reflects my state of mind, I wonder...

I am on my way up with a "care package" later this morning.  gosh, the house feels so
quiet and empty with him gone....we are hoping he will be able to come home
tomorrow...
I want to thank you all for your prayers and the good wishes you've sent us--they are appreciated more than you'll ever know...♬

********************************************************************************
Star Rise is on being pin basted now a little at a time...

(Missing Mom during this step a lot. She used to help me with all my pinning--many hands make shorter work!)...

deciding how to hand quilt this one..
I would love to try a Baptist fan in each block maybe--or overall...hmmmm
hugs to you all
