I've joined in Joshy and Belles challenge to spend 365 days appreciating the simple joys - the old fashioned simple pleasures, knitting, sewing, baking, sewing and more.
and inspired to be creative I've finally started the quilting on the quilt that I began way back.....
I am seriously beginning to regret that I was soooooooooooooo adventurous in my quilting design. all over stippling would have a been a LOT easier. and quicker.
I've also made a skirt out of a dress I got at a clothes swish event, I never wear skirts so this is a big deal for me!
and today I 'm taking in joy in watering these little lovelies growing in the garden.
Oh what gorgeousness! Loving the design on the quilt. You are soooo clever! And the skirt is absolutely lovely - cool outfit altogether actually. I hope you really enjoy wearing it. Having another very early morning!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the skirt. It is great. Can you tell me which pattern you used? I have been searching for a pattern like that for my daughter and have had no luck at all. That pattern is just perfect.
ReplyDeleteGreat project! I'm still persevering with Flickr 365 - there's an awful lot of flowers!
ReplyDeleteI love the quilting - machine quilting terrifies me!
That quilt is looking fab - I wish I could do that.
ReplyDeleteLove the skirt too :)
That contrast leafy flowery quilting is just a gobsmacker. I've never seen quilting like that. Gorgeous, really.
ReplyDeleteLook at you all pretty in that skirt. I keep meaning to organise a swishy party. It's a genius idea. I don't have the skills to make one garment into another like you do though!
Why do you never wear skirts? That outfit looks utterly gorgeous on you!
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL skirt! Really lovely.
ReplyDeleteWhy?? You look fabulous in a skirt - wish my waist was as trim.
ReplyDeleteLove your quilting too - looking good!!
Have a fabulous weekend,

Love the skirt Tess! I am a big fan of skirts and dresses, and am the wrong design for trousers. You look fab in it!! Did you use a pattern or just your normal creative flair? I've just inherited a fabulous sewing machine and am having lessons, I would love to be able to make a skirt.x
ReplyDeleteI am in total awe of your quilting, I had to do a double take because it looks so professional! Your skirt is really lovely too, pretty colours indeed - you ought to put it into the Sew Mama Sew challenge, there's a link to it on my latest post if you're interested.
