Our quilt is almost complete....
Yesterday, I cut the binding strips and I'm
spending this rainy, Friday afternoon doing some hand stitching...
Yesterday, I cut the binding strips and I'm
spending this rainy, Friday afternoon doing some hand stitching...
This has been such a happy project and I feel quite sad it will be at an end
and so I'm looking for a another stitchy project now which I can
enjoy while knitting.....probably a small lap quilt
to decorate my new workroom...
(well, I already have some gorgeously pretty fabric!)
One craft always seems to inspire another for me...
Oh yes...I do love the border fabric!
It's from the 'Rouenneries Deux' range by French General
...a beautiful rich red, inspired by the
red florals that were printed in Rouen, France in
the 18th century...wisely chosen here by Ashley and Leah I have to add!
I'm looking forward to seeing it when it
comes out of our drier with that lovely crinkly look!
And...my new workroom will be finished today!!
Our lovely builders will be leaving us and
peace will hopefully reign over our little corner once again...
I'm going to have a weekend of painting with Mr.H
and then moving everything in....including my magic cupboard
(which we had quite a lot of trouble moving out!)
The radio will be on and there will be plenty of this going on too....
Thank you so much for visiting everyone...
to lovely friends out there who never cease to inspire me....
I'm off to visit you now...
can't wait to see what you have all been up to!
~ ♥ ~
Until next time...
How wonderful..the room is complete! I hope you enjoy your new work area, and can't wait to see all the new things that you bring to life..You make the most beautiful things...true talent!!

Lovely colours - you can't go wrong with red, in my book. You'll be looking forward to putting the finishing touches to your new room. It's so much fun to see something coming together.
ReplyDeleteSo excited for you that your room will soon be done.....it's lovely to put things back after things have been moved, I do like reorganising things.
ReplyDeleteYour fabrics are lovely, I do like red, but don't tend to use it a great deal, but that would definitely sway me!
Hope you manage lots of tea breaks during your painting and shifting about, enjoy!x
Wow, that is a beautiful quilt!! I'm excited to see your new workroom.. how fab for you! I have an "office" but I tend to toss stuff in there and it needs a complete "hoarders intervention". LOL!! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your quilt! And how exciting that your workroom is done. Happy times :D
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is beautiful. I'm looking forward to seeing your workroom! You have an exciting week ahead! Rachel x

Have a festive weekend. You are going to celebrate, aren't you? :-)
Stephanie
Yes, definitely going to have a little celebration with a chilled bottle of champers, Stephanie...(better get the painting done first though...I become notoriously incapable after a couple of glasses!)

Love the quilt Susan. I think the best bit is sewing the binding. I shall look forward to seeing the finished beauty. Have a lovely weekend xo
ReplyDeleteThank you Sarah!...I agree, it's lovely to sit and hand sew the binding...I'm going to finish the other half this afternoon and watch a good movie as I work!..x
