THINGS GONE OUT
Did you want to see the quilt set that got given away?
Pure and crisp in it's fresh colour scheme - white cotton sheets with button closures, linen quilt cover with little red french knots (I think this might be my favourite part of both quilts)
A simple white pillowcase with feature green button, and a waffle weave blanket with pear and red dot fabrics.
And the finished quilt with linen top, mustard thread sashiko embroidery picking up the Florence Broadhurst fabric in the trim band, pear fabric from Superbuzzy, and red dot fabric by Nani Iro. A citrus green velvet ribbon tag, and a hand printed linen 6.5st tag. The bottom is vintage chenille from Sarah London.
And while I am 'showing and telling', I shall also now reveal the final shot of the muslin tote swap bag I did in October which is way long overdue. This was sent to Caterine - a simple linen bag, with a contrast inside pocket for a concealed sewn tie both made from Aunty Cookie fabric, which pulls the whole thing closed. Simple, neat and generous in size.
It appears every now and then I have a thing for crisp fresh green colours. I also think I have asurged any guilt I feel for not having posted these earlier, and can now move on and start going through some of the things which have been sent my way. And then, finally I can start with new things to show.
Just beautiful!

That is the most gorgeous muslin tote - I've always thought it looked like a movie-star top from the 40s.
I got my first ever superbuzzy shipment today. Having broken a glass I've not even unwrapped it yet although I shall be any second now.
The french knots are superb in red and the chenille is made in heaven! And Florence Broadhurst fabric in the quilt oh my!! It's all brilliant :)

my dear al... the one consolation of being so late, as always, is the ability to soak in your words, to have a long catch up and a virtual cup of tea. i missed you.
and this quilt, and bag, took my breath away. you know i love those pears! xox
