I was sent a lovely gift for Mothers day, these beautiful fabrics from the V&A quilt collection:
Chic Girl has dropped some heavy hints about how she would love something made from the brown and blue shell fabric:
If I had to pick one, this is my favourite:
But these two are extremely pretty too:
I will have to think carefully what to make with them - the quality is fabulous, so soft and yet with a good, high thread count. It is a lovely gift and I didn't even know the fabric existed.
I also received some gorgeous lilies and pale lime chrysanthemums:
I'm currently doing a little stitchery on some more of the pale duck egg linen, for a couple of 18" cushions. First I mark the design out, using a light box and a washable pen:
Then I just sit down and stitch:This design is quite large and it seems to be taking a few days to finish. I then have another matching cushion to stitch.

Love your fabrics. I resisted buying them because I seem to have too much in the house already. I also love your little stitcheries, they are very effective. well done Kandy.
ReplyDeleteThank you Pascale. The fabrics are all now washed, ironed and waiting for the Muse to strike me. I hadn't appreciated quite how wide the Liberty fabrics are until I came to iron them - much bigger than the 'normal' width.
