There you have it.
The results of much floor-crawling,
pin-sticking,
and general mayhem.
Down and dirty,
thrown together,
use-it-up.
Done, and off the to-do list!
Even better? Reducing three big bags of
stash down to one!!

Life is mostly froth and bubble,
Two things stand like stone
Kindness in another's trouble
Courage in your own.
I love it Mary Anne! What fun to have all those vintage pieces sewn together into one lovely cover and it looks great on your bed! Have a lovely week! Christine x
ReplyDeleteYour Grande Plan turned out fantastic! Way to reduce your stash. :) Love the quote.
ReplyDeleteNO to Grand Folly! I adore this vintage and lace lovely "duvet". It is perfect for summer and looks beautiful on your bed. How amazing that you had all of these gorgeous bits of vintage bliss. Well Done Dear.
ReplyDeleteSo many beautiful vintage pieces make that cover-coverlet? I think it would look irresistible over pink or red rose print sheets.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great beautiful work, and what a joy, it is finished...

Gorgeous work Mary Ann! I love how you combined the vintage beauties with the fresh crisp white and the beautiful stitching. It looks so beautiful on the bed!
ReplyDeleteOh how I really love this Mary Ann! It is a labour of love! So beautifully sewn together.
ReplyDeleteI too know all about the floor crawling, pinning, basting, appliquing and machine sewing it altogether with backing but boy it was worth it all!
What better way to display all of those vintage collected doilies and embroideries and fabrics!

It's cool - looks so great!
ReplyDeleteI think it's beautiful. I've thought before about making something along these lines, though my first thought had been to join a pile of crochet mats together, but this is another good plan.
ReplyDeleteWOW! What a gorgeous quilt and so painstakingly put together! How neat that there are autographs as well on the piece! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteYum! I like the duvet idea. So fluffy and beautiful! Very nice work!
ReplyDeleteAh, what a lovely result to your folly! Fab folly I should think. Love the quote.
ReplyDeleteI think it's very cool!
ReplyDeleteMary Anne, your bed cover looks wonderful. Congrats on crossing something off your do-list!

ReplyDelete(Glad you shared @ SNTuesday!) What a wonderful idea to 'patch'
all these loose pieces together and create this lovely cover~

Hi MA. Man, you finished this project quickly. And it is pretty darned cool. This project was a wonderful way of using some pretty pieces in a unique way. Very Creative!
ReplyDeletexx, Carol
definitely not folly!! I LOVE this....wow Mary Anne, all that loveliness in one piece...
ReplyDeleteYour quilt has turned out gorgeous! I really love the tone on tones, a very vintage feel! Beautifully done, Mary Anne! Hope your back is feeling better! Lol
ReplyDeleteYou know I love this. My kind of thing. The embroidery of the handled vase of flowers is very familiar to me. I did one way back when I was in high school.
