A Little Bit of Blue and a New Project
I recently stitched this wallhanging in blue - a lovely Cottage Garden thread called Waterwheel. Now I love redwork, but have never stitched in blue before, but I made this as a swap project for the Mill Rosie swap, and then at the last minute couldn't attend -
Bit hard to pick up the border, but a lovely deep blue with lighter blue spot.
A Birdbrain design - love the little quilts hanging on the line. I'm sure I'll be able to force myself to find a spot on my wall for it.
Ooh I love a new project - I decided I would love to do Mrs Beasley's Sampler starting in the latest Vignette magazine. Karen from Mrs Martins Quilt Shop did this lovely kit up for me using a jelly roll called "Paint Box" (lots of 2-1/2 inch strips) and extra pieces from this range and other co-ordinating fabrics. Hopefully I will make a start on the cutting out at the weekend, although swap goodies to finish.
Have a great weekend. Cheryl

Love your blue stitchery. I like your fabrics for the quilt. I am going to make it too but I am using a Tilda kit. Hugs......
If you can't find a spot... I certainly could take it off your hands...lol! It's gorgeous.
Wished we could have caught up while down in Vic... then we would have been the Three Chez/Shez's instead of the three Amigos!
Perhaps next time... xxx
