my 1st find- some lovely bright fabrics. i'm always happy to add to my fabric stash ;)

i can never walk past a nice wicker basket.
a pretty floaty top.
an old ash tray stand.
thought i might glue a tray or plate on the top.
haven't decided yet, but like this look.

While Em was out shopping with a bunch of her girlfriends yesterday,
Kace and I hit Spotlight. She chose some fabrics for me to make her a raggy quilt.
I must say, i'm totally in favour of her fabric choices!

i've backed each square in the same fabric, so that the raggy side
will be an exact match to the flat quilted side.

it will be a queen size, so no finishing it off in several hours like this one!
This one took a little longer!!

not sure what's happening with my comments- they're not showing up for some reason.
and while clicking around trying to work it all out, i found a link to the original
blogger! not a good idea, as it's only prolonging the change to the new blogger!
i'm so much more familiar with it though ;)
i'll be back tomorrow with a furniture makeover!

Your quilt is off to a great start. I love the bird fabric! And that hanger with clothespins - so cool. What would have hung from it originally?
ReplyDeletethankyou Bronwyn! i'm not sure about the hanger. would love to know if anyone else does!
DeleteLove Kace's fabric too - polka dots and birds in one of my fave colours! That clothespin hanger looks easy to make too - for you, not for me, that is :) Would sell beautifully next time you do a stall!
ReplyDeleteHi Kate, I found your blog via a comment you left on Pam's blog Petals and Vintage, and boy I am glad I did..I look forward to reading more of your posts!
