Yesterday afternoon

Having a bit of fun with chenille and trims. Still not 100% happy with the finished product though, it's lacking that "je ne sais quoi"...


A visit to the local antique shed yielded $5 bedroom stool, and a vintage tablecloth and magazine rack. They seemed to pass Ninja inspection. I plan to recover the stool...should I paint it too?

Quilty

This afternoon I hid from the heat and decided to sew my bits'n'pieces of super-cute Japanese fabric into a quilt top. I came to to the conclusion that my love affair with the sewing machine is over, as I can't say I really enjoyed the sewing part...but I pieced together most of the top. Next move is to actually put some batting in and back it. Apparently Franga spotty have red and white striped bias binding, so that will do for the edges. As with all my projects, watch this space though, as I might even finish it next year...
