glamingo love come away with me

for this week's sewing round up I made the next row for stay at home round robin.. on glamingo...

Nothing is sewn to the center, the rows are sewn together however, so I share lots of choices... and the block is an autograph block this time... I wanted to bring in tropical flowers...

I cut 5" squares with motif centered, and sewed triangles of palm trees on each corner


with all the autograph blocks sewn in a row,  and a scrap with similar colors on one side, this is as it stands at the moment...

I sewed a lot with turquoise for the RSC color of the month scraps... I have to share those all later with you, one of them being a Valentine for this year. This was just a warm up to sew scraps....

I'll share the the turquoise Valentine quilt on Monday... along with more songs I've been collecting to remind me of love... for today, in honor of the tropical feel of glamingo, please enjoy...

and the lovely Nora Jones... ahhhhhhhhh "come away with me and I'll never stop loving you..."

 have you also loved from a distance, either unrequited or circumstantial. Did it work out? Did you ever move for someone? Would you? I have...

as a young woman I thought this song was so romantic... longing to spend your life with someone and asking them to go through life with you....


"please come to denver with the snowfall..."

LEEANNA. I just adore those hibiscus flowers you fussy cut. They are fab-u-lous. Beyond fabulous, actually, in my book. And that song - please come to Boston/Denver. Gosh, I haven't heard that song in decades. I forgot how much I like it. Happy Saturday to you and my buddy, Milo (DH, too). {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne

Your glamingo will be so much joy to the room it sits in.

Glamingo is amazing! I love what you have done with the autograph blocks! You have such a creative eye; it's really fun to see you play. Norah Jones is a favorite, and that song is one of my top favorites! Enjoy your weekend!

Always thought please come to Boston was so sad. Sometimes we run around chasing our dreams when the dream is right there waiting for us.
