Yesterday was my Birthday, so I decided after finishing up with a customer quilt, that I would spend a little time piecing something I had been thinking about for a while. I very seldom actually SEW anything anymore, so when I do, it becomes a major hassle —- have to get the sewing machine book out everytime to try and figure out how to even use the machine. Anyway, I wanted to make something using some of my fabrics, as well as some hand-dyed velvet I picked up at MQS last year. I need some more little pieces that I can quilt and use for class samples, so I made this little wallhanging.
The little green circles are all a bright green velvet, but the camera flash made some look lighter.
And the larger black circles are black velveteen.
After dinner I got to have my b-day gift. I already knew what it was, as DH just gave me the $ to get the one I wanted (I can only imagine what kind of purse I may have ended up with had he picked it), but I was good and left it in the bag until today <G>. I normally wouldn’t spend $ on this type of thing, but it was just too good a price at the outlet mall.
OK — Better get started on dinner, gonna make lasagna so I won’t have to cook tomorrow <G>!
Happy Birthday! How nice to spend the day sewing something for yourself…and it’s really cool too!
Happy belated birthday Jodi!! Love the fabric dying, and the wallhanging!!
