| i had collected this lotta jansdotter fabric last summer ... i made curtains for the trailer with some of it...more here |
 |
| i pulled my favorites ... mostly lotta ~ echo and bella with a few others that go well ...i especially love the yellow pearl bracelet by lizzy house with these fabrics ...as soon as i put a few blocks together i knew i was going to LOVE it straight away xoxo |
 |
| but i already knew that cuz i had seen this over at redpepperquilts xoxo |
 |
| today in about 10 minutes i made easy peasy 14 " dinner napkins with osnaberg cotton |
 |
| inspired by joetta maue ~ she has napkins with dab, blot, wipe and pat beautifully embroidered on them ~available at athropologie... |
 |
| sooo since i am a stamper now.... |
 |
| i decided to play around w this idea ~ thank you joetta xoxo |
 |
| might of spent another $20 on stamps after i got this awesome napkin idea xoxo |
 |
| i bought my stamps and this ink at michaels... |
 |
| finished up a set of 6 napkins with a simple zigzag frayed edge... ~ perfect for a hostess gift xo making more for me real soon xo |
 |
| started this quilt in july 2012...i originally thought it would go like this and then i saw this @ blueelehantstitches |
 |
| and then i spent many hours playing with triangles at quilt retreat ...i totally hogged the big design wall ...but was able to complete the top |
 |
| then i got it on the longarm and quilted it with figure 8 by dave hudson |
 | |||
| I LOVE IT xoxox AGAIN a HUGE thank you for the total inspiration of this quilt from jolene at blueelephantstitches. |
 |
| stamped a label and now i am on the home stretch with the binding |
 |
| i used some abandoned blocks ...and the 8 yards of purple that i bought to use with those abandoned blocks went to piece the back ...love when mistakes turn out so well xoxoxoxo |
 |
| my very first yarn bomb xo i know this is cheating a bit...but i don't even know how to crochet ~ haha |
 |
| found these two rows of an unfinished afghan at good old value village for $1.99 |
 |
| first i tried it out on the tree swing... |
 |
| but i liked it around the tree trunk much more xo |
