Skipping, ribbons, flowers, painting, garlands, flutists, singing, sunshine and fresh squeezed lemonade! The children all enjoyed their turn (x3) to skip around the Maypole... and I got in on the action too.
I'm not one to miss a chance to dance!
My Fairytale Patchwork quilt is coming along, but I've got to order sashing. I have settled on natural linen sashing (surprise, surprise) because I think it will give the quilt more of a modern, big-girl vibe that I hope Aria will love for years to come. She is absolutely smitten with the unicorn fabrics. And, she's agreed that the linen is not a bit gray (because, we don't want to repeat that scenario).
Here are some test layouts. The blocks are 12" square with 2.5" sashing:
I really like the way the little princess looks sandwiched in Little Folks voile:
Poor little princess. Life must be rough. Luckily, us peasants can frolick at Mayfairs and enjoy the lasting pleasure of good, old-fashioned work!
Yay for pretty little girls, faeries and unicorns!
ReplyDeleteI love the way it looks (so far)! That princess and the pea fabric coordinated perfectly with the little folks, too, love it! The voile feels so delicate and unlike anything I have sewn with yet. Have you tried sewing with it yet?
ReplyDeleteYes, I've sewn the little folks a bit when I added the Princess and the Pea strip. I used a Microtex needle, which quite a few sewists have recommended. I feel the fabric is more slippery (it's akin to silk), but not so much so that it's frustrating. I also found it a little difficult to cut with my rotary cutter, but I'm sure I need practice!
