Hello Everyone,
The hexie grapes are finished. They just need to be appliqued to the background, and the center for this quilt is finished.
I'm still designing this quilt called Once Upon a Vine. I've arranged and rearranged the baskets multiple times. I'll know the right placement when I see it......I haven't seen it yet!
The grapes and the baskets came from these, wonderful bundles of Vin du Jour fabric by 3 Sisters for Moda. I folded and tied six of the bundles while I was working at the shop on Monday. This gorgeous fabric has been flying off the shelves for good reason.....it's beautiful!
The bundles aren't posted on the website since our new website will be rolled out next week. If you are interested in having one of the bundles arrive at your house, send an email to the shop. The email address is: info@inbetweenstitches.com
I'm sure all of you are just as busy as I am getting ready for Thanksgiving. Baking, cooking, and cleaning are all happening at the same time. Multi-tasking is my middle name this week. Everyone has their food assignment, so I got off pretty easy this year. I can almost smell the turkey cooking now......
Soon,
Lynn
Its not hard to imagine this one hanging on the wall of our kids new house! My wine lovers were discussing planting grapes not long ago. I found myself picking out little he ie grape blossoms within the clusters. I'm sure these grapes would make a very sweet wine.

What lovely grapes, they look ripe and ready to eat (or turn into wine of course). Happy Thanksgiving to you and all your family.
ReplyDeleteI love your hexie grapes and think they would be fabulous as a center medallion (I love medallion quilts). Perhaps a lattice border to hint at a grape arbor? I would like to know more about those fabrics please, such as cost?
ReplyDeleteSo glad you liked my suggestion of a lattice border. How I love the potential of this quilt. Did you design the basket pattern? Once you get it all done, will you offer this as a pattern?
