A
casual comment among like minded women went something like this
" it would be nice to have a quilt made for when you need one"
A rummage in the STASH SHOP found:
stripe from a pair of pedal pushers made in the 80's by one DD for the other DD
lower left a skirt that never got a zipper sometime in the last decade
upper left op shop yardage
upper right leftover yardage from a finished quilt
Drum roll !!!
quilt top measuring 56"sq.
more stash shopping and a pieced back
the only purchase was the spots for edges and binding.
I even have a pieced batting ready to go AND I learned a new technique while making this bright fun top.
not sure what the technique is called but you only sew part of the seam to start and finish stitching it when the finale part of the block is inserted.
While taking photos I caught some circles lurking among the the flowers
Wall Flowers
bedhead
wall covering you could hardly call this silk embroidery wall p----.
in Marie Antoinette's room.
not quite homey enough for me to be comfortable.
It's been a busy week and I am now going to spend the morning stitching. Hope you all have a good day Terry
