I have just finished this quilt made with vintage fabrics in pale autumnal hues and love all the different textures as it made from old flannelette sheets, handkerchiefs, shirts and tablecloths - each having their own napp and feel.
Faded and worn ... I like it...
The garden beckons for more weeding and planting of seedlings raring to burst forth, but the quilt waits patiently for a tea break on the bench.
Ahh, I like it... I´ve just decided I want to make a plain, rather quick, comfortable white + blue all-purpose-quilt...
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt. It looks quite at home in your garden.
ReplyDeleteThat quilt is just asking for someone to wrap up in it . It's just beautiful
ReplyDeleteClare you always make me feel all whimsical and arty, the reality is hard. Madeleine has started sewing lessons on the back of your blog, a gorgeous friend is helping her, she's just sewn and stuffed her own cushion. Thanks! J x
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of quilts my mother made. She always took apart old clothes, and used worn out tablecloths, old linens and such to make many of her quilts. Never wasted a thing...always had another life as a quilt...for using as a table cover, to sit on for a picnic, to take in the car to snuggle up in the back seat on a long journey and more.
ReplyDeletehow well it looks, your quilt in the garden.
