No new sewing today, just some finishing off.
I did reduce the patten size and am very happy with it.
|
Finished size 24" x 24" |
Also got on with these...
|
Decided to straight line quilt this one |
|
My first go at Trapunto Quilting |
Look good together don't they?
Now I have the new look cushions, I need a new look room to go with them. I started on the ceiling, while Mr D crawled around the floor painting the skirting, not sure who 'won' with the choices, I had to keep climbing up and down, while he had to keep getting down then up again....... poor knees!
|
Out with the cream and green... not absolutely sure what is coming in though |
I do make a bit of a mess, but only on me..... thank goodness for dust sheets that turn into paint sheets.
|
These are ready to receive a nice cup of tea...please |
So much pleasure from bright cheerful flowers.
|
Touch of Spring..... and we even have sun |
When I lived in South Africa, I and my friends did quite a bit of embroidery, which always seemed to include the flower 'Forget-me-not'. I think we always included them because the blue colour would almost always give a lift to the finished piece. I now have Forget-me-nots growing in my garden, and each time they come into flower it reminds me of happy hours with friends, so the flowers are rightly named. Today I spied the beginnings of a new season of ....the cute little flowers
|
Just two, but look at the buds of ones to come. |
Now, I might be busy with a paint brush, so my sewing might just have to be put on the 'back burner' for a week or so.
Such a busy lady!! The hexagons are quilted beautifully. Have been out enjoying the sunshine myself today! x

ReplyDeleteYour projects are brilliant and I can't wait to see what color you paint the room....which room is it?
Hubby and I are pooped from wrestling with honeysuckle and transplanting tons of stuff...I'm all scraped up!
I love the cushions ! The way you have quilted the heart looks really good!
