That baby quilt? I like that I got it done. A mistake showed up. Maybe I'll fix it and maybe I won't. Requires three seams to be done over. And yes, it is that soft and muted in real life. This was a Marti Michell all over print from maybe 20 years ago. Does anyone know? It was given to St. Anne's. I was excited to get it until I opened it. The previous owner had fussy cut a square next to the train so it was graced with holes all over. Decided to take on the challenge and try to salvage some of the fabric. Here's what I came up with. Measures 36 1/2" by 38 1/2".Next up is a UFO that isn't on my list, but I've been working as a Hexie a Night to make some progress. I like that I finally got the next round finished and attached to the center. I've even figured out what to do for the next round. I'm trying to figure out how to make this EPP into a round project.
And in my quest for being more mindful for my Gentle Domesticity study, I like that I saw my jade plant that was blooming away unnoticed in my garden. Sometimes, one has to stop, take a deep breath, be still and look around. Look how the purple wandering jew surrounds it.
I'm linking to Lee Anna's I Like Thursdays, Needle and Thread Thursdays, Confession of a Fabric Addict, Finished or Not Friday, and a few other link parties. See my list at the More tab under the header.
Blessings and good wishes for all.
I wonder why some jade bloom and others don't. Not enough sun, perhaps. Something for me to check. A whole bunch of jade fell over from the frost so I chopped them down, but I'll stick them into the ground elsewhere. I may have jumped the gun doing that. The sun could have thawed them back upright. We'll never know now. Have a wonderful week.
