I have broken out the lemon, honey and ginger, in the hope
that it will help with these winter blues!
Not to get behind in my commitments, I have been putting
together a couple of gifts, destined as birthday presents in the very near
future.
Not to spoil the surprise, I am not going to say who they
are for.
I used some gorgeous, linen weight Leicen fabric for the
outside, and middle inner section. I
also made the scissor holder from some of this fabric also. Solids and spots have really set this kit
off.
In this kit I also used a linen weight cotton fabric for the
outside and inner sections/pockets. The
binding is in a cotton.
I have yet to hand stitch the bindings, which I will do today,
snuggled on the couch with a quilt, a cuppa and my box of tissues.
As always, I am planning something new. I managed to get a great deal on some
gorgeous Leicen Floral Collection Rococo & Sweet. Lots of fabric, I got minimum 1 meter cuts.
Not really sure how to put these beautiful fabrics into a
quilt.
Any suggestions???
These are looking so great! I am love love loving that sewing themed fabric! What is it called? Inquiring minds need to know ;)
ReplyDeleteI think those Lecien fabrics would look gorgeous in a lattice style quilt. But then I am a bit partial to a lattice quilt!
Hope you are feeling better soon!
I am now thinking Double Wedding Ring Quilt, with a twist! AM I MAD?? I am all into starting long term projects right now, lol. Thanks for the encouragement Kristy!
