have seen the light..:O))
Worked with my oranges...
which was FUN... :o)
But I worked Toooo fast for my own good...
having Dad ill right in the middle of this quilts birth...
and a deadline to keep..
so I delivered this quilt to my friend Åsa who had her birthday last Sunday ...
Unfinished... or kind of.. :o)
Even the photos came out blurry so You have to live with that
.. or just scroll pass them..lol..
The pattern is a Cheri Saffiote Payne pattern (Again) :O)
from the magazine Primitive Quilts....
I used velvet to the pumpkin
manchester to the flower centers...
added a Happy Birthday text instead of the original text
and here comes the OOOPPPSS!!!!
Forgot to add the berries!!!!
Stupid me...
And all the time while sewing the binding on.. I talked to myself... remember the buttons.. remember the buttons!!!!
Did that help!!
NAH!!! :O)
So when Åsa packed up her gift I didnt see it( nor she) either.. but after a while when sitting there drinking tea...
I saw IT!!!!! BLUSH!!
Happily we could laugh at it.. and she promised to sew on some pretty red buttons...
PHEWWW!! :O)
(Note to self:
DONT RUSH!!)
So here it is.. a little quilt without it´s berries!! :O))
See you all soon...
I hope..
Christmas is coming.. and this year I
MUST try to have gifts ready before Christmas!!!!
:O)
Härlig bonad! Har Du haft manchestertyg i blommorna? kram
ReplyDeleteIt's just gorgeous, even without the berries! I've done that before - made a birdhouse/cat wallhanging for my sister years ago, and forgot the yo-yo flowers going up the stems!! To this day, they are still missing.
ReplyDeleteO what an awesomely wonderful and gorgeous gift!!! Delicious!!!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely, Stina! I am working on the same one only in wool! How's that? I love Cheri's patterns. I had to take time out to make a quilt for a young friend who's been in the hospital, but I need to get back at mine so that I finish it up.
ReplyDeleteHope you dad gets better soon.
Lovely combination of 2 different quilting styles.
ReplyDeleteIt's fabulous, Stina.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely darling Stina! Cute story too!!
ReplyDeleteSååå flott gave du har laget til din venn, jammen er hun heldig ! Orange er en deilig farge på denne tiden av året :o)
ReplyDeleteWonderful, Stina! I hope to make one from the same pattern but I don't think it will be this fall. I like how you took a fall quilt and put your own look to it with putting in some of your favorite lighter colors.
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt !!! What a wonderful gift ! even without the berries !!
ReplyDeleteFlorence

ReplyDeleteStina, that is SOO Cute!!!!
ReplyDeleteNydelig teppe selv uten bær :) Men regner med at de kommer på. Hvor får du tak i det bladet?? Det er neppe noe som er på butikken her til lands.
ReplyDeleteVilken härlig väggbonad som du gjort. En verklig färgklick, som man blir glad av
ReplyDeleteIt's adorable---I love the colors you chose!
ReplyDeleteVilken underbara gåva Åsa fick av dig :) Spännande mönster du hittar nu för tiden :) Perfekta i storlek och enkla i sig men ack så ljuvliga..vill också prova på något liknande men men..
