I can’t recall such a glorious run of autumn days! Of course, this is a delightful feature of having four seasons… each one is better than the last. This is an early morning shot taken on the way down to the studio.
My new FreeSpirit fabrics, Sweet Lady Jane, have finally arrived and it is OH SO PRETTY!! But they were delivered much later than usual, so now I have barely 3 weeks to prepare samples for Houston Market. So I am cranking out quilt tops all day and sometimes into the night. I think “cranking out quilt tops” must be an oxymoron as it takes several days to make each one. Luckily, I had a few preplanned ideas to dive right into.
But, obviously this is heaven to me! I like nothing better than being buried under fabric and stitching on my BERNINA for days on end.
Did you notice my denim sewing ensemble? We couldn’t resist enhancing this casual blouse with our new Renaissance Ribbon. We lined the collar and the epaulets of the sleeve with strips of the Blue Bouquet ribbon. We have turned an ordinary shirt into a quietly classy one.
We have also reclaimed a skinny pair of jeans to jazz up with a stream of interesting insects down the side seams. Now I just have to find a skinny girl who can wear then!
OK, back to work! With pleasure!!
I’m sewing up a storm for Market too Jane. See you there!!
Hi Daphne! I look forward to seeing your new creations and catching up with you in Houston.
I’m so excited to see what you’ve been up to with your Sweet Lady Jane yardage. With so many possibilities, I’m sure you’ll have the Wow Factor turned up to High.
