I am a 40-something housewife that loves to make my home a cheerful place for my husband and myself. I love working each day on my handwork and inspiring others to unlock their creative muses.
I have a blog where I write about my handwork and one in which I write about the changing seasons and things around my home and garden. Please stop by and visit me. While there, don't forget to leave a comment. I love hearing from you!
I want to thank everyone who has honored me with an award or tag. I have decided to make my blog an award free zone as I find it difficult to pick and choose myself among the blogs I love. I think every blog is great in its own way.
Here is the quilted WIP roll completed. I finally sat down last night and sewed the bias binding on. I really love this! It contains some of my favorite fabrics in my stash.
Inside I used some of Moda's sampler fabric which really comes out best used in something like this with a larger area where you can really view the various sampler prints on it. I had this in my stash also.
What a special way to store any stitching while you are waiting to finish it. This idea was something that my friend Diane found online on a French blog. She sent me the link: http://tempusfugit.over-blog.com/ and I thought it was so adorable and yet so simple that I would make her one. I will be making one for myself now. The top is sewn together and I have to cut the lining and start quilting it.
WOW! I am speechless..... It is beautiful and I love the fabrics, EVERY one of them. The sampler fabric is so appropriate and I think this WIP roll will see a great deal of use. It will also be a reminder of your great generosity and talent! : )
This is so beautiful! I have an aunt that is quite a quilter that could put something like this on my Christmas wish list! She is a wonderful person that lives in Amersfort and has a few blogs of her own. I love her soooooooooo much. You are amazing! I have no idea how you get all of the projects you have going completed, but should find some extra time, your quiting challenged niece would love one of these. :)Love you bunches! Kristy
