A few more crafty finishes for 2011! I finished up my High Tides mini quilt this week! I had a lot of fun with this little quilt! It uses fabrics from the Horizon colorway of Morning Tides by Mark Cesarik! I added in a few Kona cottons and Heath by Alexander Henry. I backed it in a fun vintage sheet stripe and finished it off with some Mingle by Monaluna for the binding. It's quilted with a few simple diagonal lines. It finished at 20" square. I'm really happy with how it turned out, it's so bright and cheerful! Now to find some wall space for it!
I was itching to sew something with these lovely Echino fabrics I received from my Aunt for Christmas! Another drawstring bag seemed like just the thing! This one was made using the project size in my Lined Drawstring Bag Pattern!
Right before we left I made myself a new camera strap cover. It was time for something new! I use this tutorial!
Did really well thrifting! Will be reopening the shop with these beauties next week! :)
Also managed to find some enamelware! At an antique shop, but still! I found this Dansk Kobenstyle fondue pot and it even has it's stand! In love with it!
We finally got a bit of snow, although it hasn't lasted long. Still looked pretty though!
George!

ReplyDeleteEnjoy the fondue. I grew up having it every year for my birthday dinner but have't gotten back into it yet. Perhaps a trip to the Melting Pot with some friends is in order this coming year.
Love the mini quilt!! It looks great!
