I wonder if anybody can remember some patchwork I started last year? I made a little rectangle of squares and blogged about it HERE .
My idea was to make a little dolls quilt for a thrifted dolly bed I had found previously. Well, things went O.K. till it came to the binding. Then I put it to one side while I tried to figure out how to approach it. I've never done binding before and was rather stumped by the whole concept. I tried looking on line for information. There were tutorials with photos ,but somehow it wasn't going into my brain. After several weeks of looking at my sweet little patchwork I finally gave up and stashed it in a bag.
Ooooh I love it so .It's my first ever completed patchwork quilt..... I love the vintagy fabrics and the chunky hand quilting which gives it a lovely puffiness. I'm hoping, next time ,to feel brave enough to try a bigger size, but this little project was perfect to get to grips with the basics .
I think he looks very comfy , don't you ?
well unfortunately the weather man was correct with his rainy forecast.We haven't seen any sun since Wednesday and today it's cold and windy too.
I love the ones with the dark pinkie purple edge........reminds me of raspberry ripple ice-cream.
This lovely fabric was given to me by sweet Rachel at Ruby Red when I first joined blog land....I thought it had all been used up , so was happy to find a bit at the bottom of my stash.
It's got pen on the white collar , but that's not a problem to me.
So perfectly pretty with a gorgeous scent.......It's one of my current favourites for sure .
