I spent the biggest part of the day making curtains for my living room. They are just straight panels but really brighten up the room. I had burgundy panels before. With the dark brown walls and no overhead lighting, it was very dark in the room. A lack of overhead lighting and dark walls is the reason I cannot get good pictures in this room. The white glare by the flowered curtains are actually sheer white panels. I have shades behind the sheer panels that I pull down to block the sun on bright days. I made 9 panels and I am glad they are finished and hung.
Remember the cute little bag I made for my Kindle.
Well I added a pouch on the inside to hold my power cord and ear phones. Keeps everything handy.
Now I am working on a baby quilt for Larry's nephew and his wife. When we have babies born in the family, I make them a personalized quilt. So I have this one cut out and on my wall, but I am not going to sew all of it together until I get the birth information from the mother and finish the embroidering. (Not good enough yet to take the chance of making a mistake after it is all sewn together.)
This is actually only the inside block. I have three borders to add to it. Maybe I'll have another picture tomorrow.
Well, that's my accomplishments for the day.
Happy snipping, stitching, and quilting!
You've had a very busy day! Congratulations on all your wonderful accomplishments. I really love the curtain fabric.

ReplyDeleteYour Kindle cover is really cute too, but I love the layout of the baby quilt!
Beautiful curtains, very cheerful. I know I must be thick. I thought you just read your kindle...didnt realise you could listen to them too. I have all my books on my Ipod. Your Kindle case is very inventive...and very cheery also.Great days work.
ReplyDeleteHi Vivian,

I read your question to Joan about where to buy the silk threads. You might try www.redrockthreads.com -- be sure to select the YLI Silk 100. They have Silk 100 and Silk 50. You want the Silk 100 for free-motion quilting.
