Hello Everyone,
I'd forgotten just how relaxing it is to work on an applique project. I had so much fun going through my stash of Betsy Chutchian fabrics, and finding the perfect fabric for each petal and ribbon.
The paisley fabric for the birds' wing couldn't have been any better.
The only problem is.....I can't show the fabrics to you yet. Take my word for it, you will LOVE the new line from Judie Rothermel for Marcus Fabrics.
I'm going to clean up my quilting room this morning, and get ready to revel in the new fabrics. I looked up the word revel and it is; to enjoy oneself in a lively and noisy way, especially with drinking and dancing. So perhaps revel is not the appropriate word here. How about I say that I am going to immensely enjoy working with the new fabrics, and make my new design come alive. Drinking and dancing will be optional. Maybe I'll dance like no one is watching.
The birthing process begins today. It will be a labor of love.
Soon,
Lynn
Very exciting. Looking forward to seeing those new fabrics!!!
ReplyDeleteYes it is exciting. I received the "strike-offs" a few weeks ago. They were not the finished product, yet I thought they looked great!
DeleteLove the sweet birdhouse! You used all my favorite colors. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda. This is going to be the perfect size for Summer wall hanging or on a picnic table.....just as long as no one spills!
DeleteCoucou Lynn,
ReplyDeleteJ'adore ton nichoir avec son petit oiseau.
Ici, pour le moment j'observe les mésanges qui font leur nid dans les nichoirs que j'ai placés dans le jardin. C'est un pu bonheur.
Tu attends tes nouveaux tissus et si tu dis que nous allons adorer, bien sûr mais une fois de plus je t'envie d'avoir autant de beaux tissus.
Amitiés.
Merci d’avoir commenté, Monique. Les beaux projets commencent tous par de beaux tissus. Je travaille sur la maison des oiseaux en attendant l’arrivée du tissu. Prends soin de ça, Lynn.
DeleteOh, there will surely be dancing throughout the cabin today, I just know it! Wish we could be there to help you revel in your strike offs, Lynn!
ReplyDeleteYes I am dancing and singing....my way through my sewing room!
DeleteLOVE the way you are using the wavy fabric in the blossom as well as in the ribbon. Immerse yourself in the new fabrics and come up laughing!
ReplyDeleteOh how gorgeous! You did indeed find the perfect fabrics. Enjoy the "squishy" from Fedex. I can't wait to see what you come up with.
ReplyDeleteOh Lynn, you crack me up!! Someday I am coming to California, and you and I will REVEL together!! Have a blessed Easter, my friend!
