This morning I went to Fabric-A-Brac for the first time. Anticipating a massive selection of fabrics to tempt me beyond endurance I gaily sallied forth, found a car park way up the top of a steep hill and eagerly bounded down. My what a crowd! Round and round and round I went looking at the selection of goods available. Wallet had obviously listened well to my stern instructions and didn't even open her mouth! So I climbed back up the steep hill, empty handed but happy to have been a part of this and who knows maybe my raffle ticket will come out tops and I will win the hand quilted bed cover??
Today we have half a happy dance;-) The Fabric Bomb bag is completed. This is what I received and how I used (or not used them)
2 cotton fat quarters - the kimono and part of the obi
1 small piece Japanese silk - part of the obi
1 vintage whitework handkerchief - the white neck of the lady
1 packet John James Twin point needles - uh uh
Petite Frosty Rays - all of these threads were braided together for the obidome
DMC Perle cotton #3 colour 798
DMC Perle cotton #5 colour 334
Needle Necessities Spring II colour 358
Quilters Yardage Card - uh uh
2 Star Buttons - the hair decoration
One yard of lace trim - uh uh
3 pieces ribbon - the sky stripes
Mill Hill Beads colour 62034 - the sky stripes
Embroiderers Guild of America Charm - I'm keeping this for myself!!
Please excuse the dark photograph, it's the best I can do this time of night. I added the handles from stash. What do you think? I have done a happy dance.
Another Christmas ornament is finished and tonight I hope to construct this into a flat padded ornament tonight. I was impressed that my LNS had the necessary small gold star. I like this cute ornament..
And now I must go and undo the mistakes in the HD3QBEM's knitting. She has some necessary mending out for me to do too. Oops - another busy night!
