The carpeting in the sewing room will be getting ripped up tomorrow to ready things for the new laminate floor. Of course, I wanted to finish this last hot pad since I will not be able to sew for a few days, unle
One never know when inspiration will strike. When it does, one should act on it ...right? Of Course! Yesterday I found a remnant of a really nice snowflake fabric so I decided to purchase it. Now it needed a couple of fabrics to so with it. I spied this really nice very deep teal fabric with metallic gold pinecones and spray of pine needle which set off the snowflake fabric in a particular way. I immediately thought "ah, hot pads!" I looked around a bit more and found a fat quarter of a light green but basically the same color way..
Someone (namely ME) is doing the happy dance, I finished ALL my holiday sewing this weekend. The last thing I wanted to get done was something to put in the holiday exhibit at the Shelburne Arts Co-op. My holiday sewing does not usually entail much ho, ho, ho, deck them halls and other over the top type Christmas fabrics, I go more for seasonal/winter themes. I dugout this indigo blue fabric from my winter stash. It has wonderful but subtle metallic gold stars and swirls and this tiny light blue dot that looks like snow. WOW, this would make a wonderful fabric basket!
This morning it was time to start fashioning some baskets and bowls out of all the strips I have cut. They were are is what I think of as a rats t so yesterday I laid them out in rows staring with the yellow and golds and working my way up to the wine colored red. I did this so I could see what I had so that I could start designing and picking what colors and fabric I would use in what order. My friend Margaret sent me a picture a few months back of what she calls her rainbow bowl. As I was looking upon the stripes I began to see that I really had a full spectrum of color there and so decided to try my hand at making a rainbow basket. Since I had so many wonder colors and textures to chose from, it was a lot of fun.
Last year a participated in a holiday /seconds sale shop at the Snow Farm which is about an hour and 1/4 from my house. Since my work did sell I decided to try it again this year in spite of the 40/60 consignment split. I look at it this way. at least it is going to a nonprofit that teachers all sort of wonder art classes. I added the fabric baskets to the items I took in this year. I wanted to have some holiday themed baskets so I make a holly basket to add to the mix. I delivered my merchandise to them yesterday afternoon.
