My next sewing project is going to be a single bed, Dresden Plate Quilt. In pinks.
Cos... ya never know what the next baby will be. Well......... not yet anyway.
So excited.
Right... these are the ideas:
Today is Patchwork class. I might just do a mug rug or two instead of spending all my time there cutting out Dresden Plate pieces.
I'm looking forward to it... getting out and about.
ONWARD...
MARLS: I do have some pink, but it's the wrong shade and looked freakin' disgusting!
I might get some from Spotlight today to try it.
Class today was lovely, there were 4 ladies plus the tutor and me. So a nice group.
One of the ladies was finishing off a Dog Cuddle Quilt, and I fell in love with the Dog Panel she had bought.
I asked where she got it from (Waihi) and she said she bought it YEARS AND YEARS ago. So I wouldn't be able to get another one.
Really? I hot footed it home and immediately got on Ebay, and BOOM! Last one for sale... so I bought it, is should arrive middle of the month.
Griffin has a sore throat, so I made a Doctor's appointment for him.... and Bex suggested I try to see the Doctor too for my back.
So I did.
Griffin's throat isn't too bad according to the Dr, but she took a swab and we have an antibiotic prescription IF he has strep throat, should know by Friday.
Me? I've got Tramadol for me back. YUM... I know that stuff works! Fingers crossed it kicks in soon cos the constant pain is making me feel sick.
Sadly, the Tramadol hasn't helped much... YET. I'm hoping once it gets into my system thoroughly it will make a difference?
Having a quiet evening (as per usual), cut out another few blades for the 2nd Dresden Plate. I can't wait to put a few together to see how it's going to look!
End of Day: a neat day, bad back aside. Off to have a spa now... if the water is hot enough!

Green for me Chris. It makes the colours in block pop!
ReplyDeleteI like the green for a block, but would it be too much for a whole quilt? Not sure if the white works though-have you got any pink to see how that looks?
ReplyDeleteI like the green one too very bright. The booties you knitted will come in handy then. No doubt you will think off other projects.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Bex and Steve, and congratulations to another lucky grandbaby having you and Stew as grandparents. I love the green, but I would love to see it in pink to compare. Just wondering what Maris said whether the green would be too much.

I like the green too, maybe you could alternate green and white? Then the green wouldn't be over powering. Your Dresdens are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the green - makes all the colours just loo more vibrant.
ReplyDeleteloving the green.... Congats to Bex and Steve!!... she must only be a few weeks along??? x
ReplyDeleteI like the pale pink that you're going with. The green is vibrant and eyecatching but too much of a contrast, to my eyes. After all, you want the patchwork centre to be the star.
ReplyDeleteHi Chris Congratulations to Bex and Steve and the whole family! It is good you are enjoying your groups. I will email you soon,
ReplyDeleteCheers

Liking the pink you have got. Hope your back improves.
ReplyDeleteI've had strepthroat since Sunday and it's horrid. Today's first day I can eat proper food. Have ice blocks on hand to numb his throat because I couldn't even drink water. On abs now and feeling 75% better. But no voice and crappy cough lol. Good luck Griffin.
ReplyDeleteI don't like the brown, but any of the others would work well. The dog panel is cute and would make an adorable baby quilt!
ReplyDeletedefinitely the pink background... I think the others make the patchwork look a bit gaudy, but it blends beautifully on the pink... LOVE the dog cuddle material.. can't wait to see what you do with that!
ReplyDeleteLooks like neckties! From clowns! (I'd wear ties like those!)
ReplyDeleteWell you already decided but I like the green :) The dogs are cute!
