:: Mouse Whiskers ::

My favorite tree and the moon last night.

As thin as a mouse's whisker.

 Last weekend's handiwork.

 Will the bag making madness never end?

 I love making bags.

ALOT

This one I used a recycled seat belt from a car for the handle.

So far the best bag I have ever made.

A Lick of Paint

After a year of scraping, sanding, consulting with paint experts and saving to purchase eye wateringly expensive paint the wall of doom is no more!

 Much better don't you think?

Now I just need something to hang above the fireplace.

Rescue Stitching

I found this fabulous quilt top today at a flea market.

I've been trawling the pages of eBay admiring vintage quilt tops for months.  

They are pricey and much sort after.  

Quite out of the league of my penny pinching pocket book.

When I found this one for the bargain price of $15, which the seller quickly knocked down to $13 without me even asking!

I knew I had to bring it home.

It's not perfect.

The quilting is a little wobbly and it needed some mending.

And a little gentle wash

or two.  It's a wee bit fragile in places.

But even in the crappy light of a dark snowy Saturday evening, I think the colours and fabrics are really beautiful. 

 I wondered who made this lovely quilt and why they never finished it?

And where did they find these beautiful fabrics?

I'm not sure I'll finish it with conventional batting and backing, but perhaps find a lovely vintage blanket for the back?
