My vintagey, boho quilt is complete...
at last, it's time for the wash and drier treatment...
then I'll post a few pics..
Sitting and stitching down the binding was a lovely excuse to watch
'A Streetcar Named Desire'
 and
''Cat on a Hot Tin Roof'
all in one afternoon... 
along with a few treats along the way...most important...
Oh, I do love Tennessee Williams!

Happy Monday Wishes
to you

New beginnings......

Our quilt is almost complete....
Yesterday, I cut the binding strips and I'm
 spending this rainy, Friday afternoon doing some hand stitching...

This has been such a happy project and I feel quite sad it will be at an end

and so I'm looking for a another stitchy project now which I can 

enjoy while knitting.....probably a small lap quilt 

to decorate my new workroom...

(well, I already have some gorgeously pretty fabric!)

One craft always seems to inspire another for me...

Oh yes...I do love the border fabric!

It's from the  'Rouenneries Deux' range by French General

...a beautiful rich red, inspired by the 

red florals that were printed in Rouen, France in 

the 18th century...wisely chosen here by Ashley and Leah I have to add!

I'm looking forward to seeing it when it 

comes out of our drier with that lovely crinkly look!

And...my new workroom will be finished today!!

Our lovely builders will be leaving us and

peace will hopefully reign over our little corner once again...

I'm going to have a weekend of painting with Mr.H

and then moving everything in....including my magic cupboard

(which we had quite a lot of trouble moving out!)

The radio will be on and there will be plenty of this going on too....

Thank you so much for visiting everyone...

to lovely friends out there who never cease to inspire me....

I'm off to visit you now...

 can't wait to see what you have all been up to!

Until next time...
