Oh No....Not Again!!

Hello lovely lovelies, lovely friends♡ I've blinked, and all of a sudden Sunday has breezed in yet  again. Gosh, I can hardly catch my breath these days, as the weeks hurtle by.

I've started another Fusion quilt. Oh no! Not again??!! Yes. Again. A Christmas themed quilt this time dancing in pastel blues, greens, pinks, peaches, mustards with touches of reds. My Christmas aesthetics these days is not of a traditional red, green and white vibe but of pastel hues.

I wanted a small Christmas quilt for the festive season. A small quilt to rest atop a sofa in the lounge room to add to the Christmas joy. But, so the quilt isn't only displayed for four weeks at Christmastime,  the back of the quilt will be blue and white fabrics to be enjoyed for the other eleven months of the year. Again, two quilts in one; always a fabulous idea, me thinks.

Fabrics with sweet prints with koalas, wombats, platypuses and echidnas all playfully wearing santa hats among the waratahs and gum leaves. Reindeers too, with shiny red noses, Christmas trees, gingerbread men, presents with pretty bows, sweet Nativity scenes...after all Jesus is the reason for the season; and peaceful doves bringing to mind thoughts of hope......peace. Now there's a novel concept......world peace.

So........lots of fabric squares........again.

Lots of machine sewing of fabric squares together.....again.

Lots of blanket stitching around the squares.....again.

Lots of crochet skipping around the squares......again.

"How calmly blue soothes and sings softly in the sky"...........

For slow stitching this chilly Sunday I'm going to enjoy a little crocheting around and around my Christmas fancies, in front of the fire. I might enjoy a little book reading, too. 'Tis the day for it. Hoping you enjoy a lovely day, lovely lovelies, lovely friends♡ May you enjoy a semblance of peace with sprinkles of joy and delight in your little corner of the world♡ A basket of flowers for thee"?? 'Tis bluebells and creamy, frilly rhododendrons, on this spring-filled day♡

Until the next time......

More Embroidery♡

 

Hello lovely lovelies, lovely friends♡ Another week has floated by on many a blossom-filled spring breeze, to arrive at another Sunday♡ 

This week I've had a pleasant time continuing the embroidery of the gorgeous fabric. Flowers and leaves embellished with chain stitch, blanket stitch, cross stitch, backstitch, french knots; stitched here and there to sprinkle a little more beauty. Not a lot of embroidery as the fabric is perfectly lovely without any embellishment. I just wanted to add a little oomph.

Now to cut the shape of the bodice and transform the embellished fabric into a blouse. Something I will do in the next little while. Because it's Sunday I will find something to work on. Perhaps some knitting?? Whatever I decide upon I'll  join the happy band of slow Sunday stitchers later this evening, where we chat about the makes we are making, or indeed, the makes we have made. Happy making, lovely lovelies, lovely friends♡ Thank you for your sweet visit to my little spring-filled place♡ Enjoy a beautiful day♡

Until the next time......
