Happy Friday and March 1st!
I can't believe how fast February went by, but that only means were just a little closer to beautiful spring and Easter! I have been working on a few gifts this week and getting ready to start decorating for Easter. I found a cute pattern for crocheted eggs that I am eager to try this weekend, and will have to show you if they come out cute!
Last night I finished this pretty "Bless our Home" embroidery for a wedding gift. I really love how pretty it turned out!
I used a vintage Vogart rose embroidery pattern, which I recently bought and have been wanting to try. The rosebuds look so sweet on the tiny pink gingham. I adore the vintage feel this piece has! And, there is just something about those pink roses that makes me smile!
Now, I need to finish the backing and it will be ready to be sweetly wrapped and treasured in its new home! I have a couple of friends who have birthdays coming up, so I maybe making a couple more, and even one for myself! ;)
I have been working on tying my vintage patchwork quilt. I decided to use pearl cotton embroidery floss this time, and so far I am liking it. On my last quilt I tied, I used embroidery floss, but didn't really like how it frayed after washing and drying it. So, hopefully this will not do the same.
After I am done tying, the binding needs to be sewn on to the back, and it will be done! Yay!
Do you have any fun or creative plans this weekend?
Well, I hope that you a most lovely day and beautiful weekend sweet friends!
So pretty Heather, what a wonderful gift idea!! Your quilt is also very pretty!
ReplyDeleteHeather, I love the Funny Bunny game card in your right sidebar. I have the entire set of those cards. I used to play "go fish" with my Grandma in New Brunswick when we visited her on holidays. When she passed away, I received those cards and I bring them out, now and again, to play "go fish" with my kids. I don't want them to get wrecked, so the games are always supervised by me!! Happy March to You!!

Hi Heather! The rose pattern looks like it came from an antique piece. It's so pretty. And, your sweet quilt top is just so wonderful, and it has inspired me to make something similar out of red, white, and blue embroidery - but those things are still packed. I just love EVERYTHING you make - so pretty!
ReplyDeleteHello my sweet friend,
ReplyDeleteI am amazed with the many beautiful ways you use vintage linens. Your quilt is lovely. It will be a timeless keepsake.
You are so talented and so very thoughtful.
Thank you for your kind comment on my blog. I love it when you stop by!
Have a great Sunday, Heather!
Blessings,
Carolynn xoxo
I do think you're right to try the pearl cotton, that's what I've used in the past to tie the few quilted pieces I've made and I've always been happy with it :)
ReplyDeleteThe embroidery is sweet as can be. I love the way you tied the quilt. Patchwork is one of my favorites!
ReplyDeleteThat will be a treasured wedding heirloom for sure! How wonderful of you to do that! :-) This past weekend was mostly spent on catching up around the house. I was able to visit with my mother-in-law, my parents, and my cousin which was a lot of fun!
