Two Littles completed

Oh! This Itty Bitty piece is complete! And gifted to a friend who loves provincial style. 

Janelle turns 50. I love the tassels for a wallhanging. I feel it doesn't look like a tiny piece of art on the wall.  But it is indeed art. And I want it to be seen that way.

The red one is for my cousin Katie. She got married and bought a house, so this is what I was able to send on my budget.

So pretty! I stalked her social media photos slightly, looking at the home decor, I feel sure this works.

And finally, I cut up some regular charm squares I bought. It was a pack of Tilda, and I had no idea what to make with it. I decided I can make 4 of these Itty Bitty quilts/art pieces from the pack, and they can be gifted out and shared.

I'm glad I've chosen small art pieces for gifting this year. I have a lot of friends turning 50 and celebrating other milestones in the next year or two.

 

Love Always fabric acquisition

Every now and then a girl gets an urge to start something big.

And she knows it's going to be big.


I have decided to make Esther Aliu's spectacular "Love Always" applique quilt.

The pattern has been purchased, and I collected fabrics. The above range shows the pieces I bought from the bolt.

And the images here show some pieces from a layer cake pack.

This image is included twice because the fabrics appear in different tones in each picture.

I am making it in a two tone format with French General muted reds from a number of fabric ranges.

Getting exciting! I am looking forward to achieving some hand stitching without thinking about designing the pattern also.
