Even though it was sunny outside and I don't think we even glanced out the window, I had a crackingly good day. I had lost a bit of the quilting mojo and yesterday turned me around. Lovely chat, great cake and some good progress. I rang my older sister yesterday (actually her cat accidentally called me by lying on the hands-free, but anything works....) and I was talking about yesterday's quilt which is for her 25 yo son. And she said to me, "I do like talking to you, when you are in love with what you are doing." And she is right, it makes a massive difference.
So while projects are still to be completed, I headed up into the attic for a rummage through the "stash that it rarely touched" which is distinct and different from the regularly trawled stash. I found the Tahitian ladies. And here they are.
And then I spotted an old piece of hand-printed homespun style cotton, with a border print. Ici .....
So what do you think? The homespun would be easier ... and seriously I bought it (or rather Mum did) when we lived in Perth in 1984, but it is almost too contemporary, except for the colours which are a bit dated.
Those ladies might be hard to work with, especially directionally, but then it is a challenge? I do love a challenge. I plan to trawl Mum's stash, or even the sister's next time I am in the Mountains, but food for thought in the meantime.
Thanks for a lovely and inspiring day.
My vote is for the ladies, they can be causally sitting on any angle the stars may take them!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, thanks to everyone for helping re-activate my quilting mojo too, had a lovely day and have even managed to find the scraps to repair the chopped into block...everyone is denying all knowledge around here!
