Girls Weekend

 Back in October, I spent a fantastic weekend at "the cottage" with some crafty friends. We love to get away at least twice a year and craft, sew, scrapbook... make stuff! I made this scarf by ripping strips of fabric and sandwiching between two layers of dissolvable interfacing. I added some bits of ribbon too. After sewing all over it with my sewing machine, I just soaked it in water for a minute to get rid of the interfacing. Here it is when it was still a little damp.

I love how it turned out and have been wearing it a lot lately.

 Love you girls! We need to do this again soon!

Ambitions

I love the gorgeous fabrics on the new quilt I have started. There is something very pleasing about the straight lines, organization and the simplicity, but sometimes I aspire to do something a bit more freeform like this...

This was done by the fabulous fibre artst Robin Olsen. I first saw her work in my favourite magazine Cloth Paper Scissors and now they have put this article into one of their free downloads -check it out here.





 

A New Quilt

I'm so excited about this quilt! I've just got about half of the quilt top finished and I love it so far... the colours are bold, earthy, and juicy all at the same time. I will post more when the top is finished.
