September 30, 2007 - A touch of elegance...
The cushion below is one I designed and made over a 4 hour period on Friday night, and is a belated birthday gift for my dear friend Liz - I shall be able to give it to her in person too! Liz always impresses me with her natural elegance...she's just lovely. So with that in mind I chose this gorgeous fabric with it's tiny gold threads woven throughout - truly elegant fabric to touch as well as being definite eye-candy.
We leave tomorrow for a 5 day stay in Perth, a round trip of 20 hours driving for my darling hubby, but an opportunity to see Liz and her family whilst attending to some medical treatment in the 'big smoke'. My daughter and I shall also take time out to shop - her for clothes, myself for fabric. Our gorgeous seaside town is quite tiny and we have very limited shopping so this trip will allow me the chance to rebuild my fabric stash for the year ahead. I cannot imagine being unable to create and sew...'twould be awful!
Liz and her hubby have a naturopathic clinic - Paul being the naturopath and Liz attending to the best massages you can imagine. Her hot stones are incredible!
Hopefully in the weeks ahead I can finish the new medallion quilt for our bed and post some pictures here, and then of course there are the numerous Christmas presents to make, and that quilt for my new grandson, due February. Just think, two years ago this was all foreign to me...hmmm...what new thing are you going to try?? You may surprise yourself with what you can do!
Have a blessed week while I'm away!
