It will be a one of a kind , this is not my thing , as I know I have said before PP is not really my favorite thing to do but I did enjoy making this project but not enough to repeat it .
Last week when I met Lesley at Lucy's I fell off the wagon and bought fabric , how could I resist , so here is a sneak peak of what I am using these sweet spring fabrics for, you see this could be my giveaway, haven't decided what it will be yet but this is really cute if I do say so myself and for all those purple lovers out there this is one you will love. My plan when I purchased these was to make a runner but I will tell you it is not a runner but they just spoke spring to me so it has a spring flavor to it .
And another ,isn't is a gorgeous color . I have another plant that is also about to bloom but the flower is more of a deep pink where this is a salmon peachy color . I love my Christmas Cactus , I have three large plants but just two are blooming at the moment .It is still rather cold here , quite a contrast from last week but I guess Mother Nature is going to do what she wants and there is not much we can do about it , complain , but what good will that do , right!
Enjoy your day and thanks for stopping by ,it is always a pleasure to see you.
hugs Sheila
Yes the red binding looks great....
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful table topper Sheila. I can see why it is one of a kind.I am not a fan of PP either.
Your cacti blooms are very pretty.
My should flower in a few weeks when it is cooler here.
Well Sheila, you may have sewn your Oriental Beauty kicking and screaming but you did a great job of it! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats,

Wow, Sheila, that Oriental Beauty is AMAZING! You may not like paper piecing, but you did a fabulous job on it. It's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love Christmas cactus, too. I used to have a really large one, and it always gave me a second bloom at Easter.
Have a great weekend, my friend, and stay warm!
XOXO,

Your Beauty quilt is a real beauty! You must be so proud of yourself, and nice to see the designer resell drop by. It is gorgeous. It was so easy to buy in Lucy's shop since she had so many treasures. I bought lots of little treasures too. Love your sneak peek! Very intriguing!
ReplyDeleteSheila, the red looks super!
ReplyDeleteYour tabletopper is beautiful. Looks a little bit like NYB.

Hi Sheila that is a beautiful quilt that you made it looks very difficult ,I also love the red for the binding ,I have been meaning to write to you to tell you that I have a trip planned now for over 3 months and I don't know how time has slipped by and I haven't really prepared myself for ,I will be flying over to Oregon to help my mom move back with me and I have a whole slew of stuff to prepare and I am really nervous about the trip hoping everything goes smoothly ,I will be gone for 2 weeks and I won't have time to make anything ,but since I will be in the states I will be able to by products for my sewing and material for postcards that is the only thing exciting about the trip for me,I am sorry for my delay ,but I will send something for you once I am back . have a nice Sunday theodora
