I am mentally packing my bags for a trip to England to visit one of my sisters for a week. Visiting the Victoria and Albert Museum is on the agenda. I wonder what amazing antique textiles will be on display? After that is a week in Poland to celebrate my aunt's 90th birthday.
One of the things on my to-do list was to get a haircut. When the girl asked how I wanted it cut, I said like hers. Well, it looks nothing like hers. And I forgot that I wanted to get a good picture for the back cover of my book. Maybe it will grow quickly or I could wear a hat. Or maybe I can skip the picture part. Or I could submit a nice one from years ago.
I have done very little stitching since I got home from the retreat. But I knew that I had other things to do. I did a bit while babysitting the other night and then some more before going to bed a couple of nights. This might be completed before I leave so I will have to prep some more.

I like paisley style fabrics. Good choice.
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen. I am going to try to use a of of different types of prints if I can, including plaid and stripes.
DeleteLovely fabric and workmanship and that is quite a bit of apples to be dealing with on a daily basis! :)
ReplyDeleteWe are down to the last 2 bags of apples. Should be done tomorrow. I can hardly wait so I can out away all the pots and canning stuff so I can start packing my bags for Europe. My husband loves to eat applesauce so we make lots.
DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pattern, love the fabric.
Have a great day!
Thanks Sherrie. I am really enjoying working with the French General fabrics.
DeleteWhat a great block (kind of like Apple Pie Ridge & kind of like Fleur de Lis)! I am using that French General Indiennes fabric for an eagle quilt - it's a wonderful fabric and I wish I had a bolt of it!
ReplyDeleteIts more fleur de Lis. I did make the apple pie ridge block for my Ben Biggs. I chose this one to start with because it is so similar to many blocks in the Criswell quilt that i just completed.
DeleteA whole bolt? I bought a fat quarter bundle. Three actually. That adds up to over a hundred fat quarters! More than enough for several quilts. Now you make me want to go out and buy a whole bolt.
Great fabric for that block! Love it.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I like how the paisleys just swirl around in it.
DeleteWhat a great block
