Repurposing Blue 6 Inch Strips - "Joyful Frequency" $650

 I'd like to write "Using Up" Blue 6 inch strips

but that's not how it works.

Instead, I've begun piecing this piece 

that I sketched in my journal recently 

"re purposing blue 6 inch strips".

These strips are left overs or plan aheads 

as I prefer, to "Reflecting Glory".

Skinny straight strips are a wee bit of a stretch for me so

suggestions for keeping them straight are appreciated.

Thanks For The Input - Diamonds It Is

Thanks everyone for your helpful comments and opinions

of Auditioning Shapes Using Freezer Paper.

I decided to go with the squares and when I 

was laying them out chose to turn the squares into diamonds.

They are hand appliqued and the piece is ready for the next step.

Maybe My Favorite Reversible Stole...So Far

 I enjoy creating artful reversible clergy stoles.
I often create one side green for Ordinary Times,

like this one and the other side white 

for Weddings, Baptisms, Christmas etc.

Gold and white Bull's are the feature of the Wedding etc. side,
while  my fun Free Style Cobblestone blocks
are the accent of the green side. It's available in my Etsy Shop.

Perfect Timing For Hand Painted Fabric

 Awhile back I met with and  helped use up/ play 

 with some remaining  paints from a friend's class.

What a fun day.  I created a whimsical piece of fabric

using stencils, foam brushes etc. and of course 

my favorite colors, aqua, purple, fushia and green

on a white background. This created fabric

 didn't work in any project I auditioned it to be in...until now.

Perfect timing - often,it is hard to wait for, but worth it.

Finger Healing - Sewing Again

 It only took me a week to brave my sewing machine again.

My finger is still sore but healing nicely

(covered by the quilting glove).

Surprisingly, the needle did not break but has been 

replaced and I am working on the

 machine quilting of "Reflecting Glory".
