yesterday was another saturday sewing day and we all had a happy time, another good day of inspiration and creativity! more embroidery done and quilts planned and one finished! there is one of us who described herself as a 'maniac', she is fast at doing things and she has her quilt finished!
others are still in the embroidering and planning stage, there are no patterns in case anyone is wondering, we just create as we go with our 'leader' giving inspiration.
oh and guess what i noticed after i had done the last post about my king david's crown quilt! it is often said a photo shows up things we don't see, well it is so true in my case and i find it hard to believe that this has happened. all the girls yesterday did not pick it up till i told them, so what do you think, they all said leave it and i am leaning that way also. this is what i noticed!!!
the two crowns, second from the bottom, have different star centres, but have the same fabrics used otherwise! firstly i cannot believe that i did the same combination twice, apart from the stars and then after moving them all around, as we do, finding the right spot for each one, sewing them all, then adding the border ( i did not show a photo of that previously), taking photos and posting them and even then it was a couple of days later that i realized what i had done???!!! i feel that it was meant to be and amazingly it does not stand out that much and it is not going off to be judged by the 'judges' anywhere. i could change, but it would not be as easy as just moving a couple of crowns. others have also seen it and have not made any comment, maybe they have been kind and just think i have had a moment! this is how it looks with the border.
and then the flower boy came to brighten a winter's day and i chose these tulips to welcome my family and friends this week.
