I'm sure you all must have felt the earth move yesterday as I did a celebration dance over the fact that my two big UFO's are done, done AND done! This smaller quilt has been hanging over my head for three years and I can finally call it finished. It was an online class that Rhonda Dort ran in 2020 and I signed on so I could use some of the vintage linens that I inherited from my mom and my grandma.
- THIS is an intriguing use for old books.
- THIS caught my eye.
- Have a peek through the galleries of THIS artist.
- And THIS one too! Be sure to scroll down to see his dried flower creations.
- If you click on the individual listings HERE and then scroll down you can go through her galleries of amazing works.
Today the quote is from Wayne Dyer..."When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change"
Oh my goodness your quilt is stunning so beautiful, I bet it feels so good having it finished.
ReplyDeleteThank-you for the interesting links, the jacket is beautiful

I rather like this quilt myself - but don't know what I'm going to do with it. Doesn't fit with our decor in any way, so I think I'll put it away for our granddaughter.
DeleteBravo! Beautiful quilt, an heirloom!
ReplyDeleteThe old book paper sculptures are fantastic. Nice links all
Change is true at the looking of it. It is my attitude that needs to be more flexible. lol
I'm happy with this quilt but it will be put away I think - there's a wee girl in our family who might like to have it someday.
DeleteYour vintage linens are the star of this lovely quilt. Congratulations on the finish! (And thanks for the link pack -- always interesting rabbit trails to follow.)
ReplyDeleteThank you Nann...I was happy to find a use for the linens that have been cluttering up my stash for far too long. Glad you enjoy the rabbit trails!
DeleteThe quilt is really a family heirloom. Be sure it's labeled with the history of the fabrics, so she knows how many generations went into it. What a treasure.
ReplyDeleteThe label has all that information so she'll know. Hopefully our kids will keep it for her when I'm not around any longer.
DeleteCongratulations on the final finish!! It is really lovely. A trove of memories for you and generations to come...hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteBest of all it cleaned out a bunch of 'stuff' I'd had stuck in a drawer!
DeleteWow, are you ever completing those unfinished projects. Good for you.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I think this is the last big UFO that's been taking up space in my sewing room for far too long. I don't have space to have many things that are unfinished so I'm very glad to get these out of the way.
DeleteI have loved this quilt from the beginning. It is very beautiful and actually looks vintage- like. Mary @ Hilltop Post
ReplyDeleteYes, that's a good term for it - vintage-like! It combines the vintage elements with the more modern batiks fabrics so the best of two worlds I think.
DeleteAnother fabulous finish Mary Anne! What's next on the agenda? Hugs Christine xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Christine...I'm glad it's done. The agenda is always filled with possibilities but I know there's a landscape that's asking to be made for a commission.
DeleteI did embiggen your photo...what a beauty Mary Anne. It is gorgeous. Definitely joining you virtually in a happy danceThanks for the links too.
ReplyDeleteIt was a great online class and I learned a lot. Surprised myself that it actually ended up fitting together with no problems too. Thank you for joining me in the dance!
DeleteWow! That is gorgeous. I can definitely see why the excitement in finishing it. Kudos to you!
ReplyDeleteNot sure if the excitement came from liking it or the fact that it's done!
DeleteSherry of createology: Huge Congratulations Dear! I do remember this quilt and it turned out beautifully. Being able to use heirloom linens and see them every day is Priceless! So much eye candy in your links today. Great quote. Blessings Dear…
ReplyDeleteThank you Sherry. I'm very happy to have this one done and now it's put away for our wee granddaughter to hopefully want someday.
DeleteThe quilt is beautiful! It will be a family heirloom for sure.
ReplyDeleteIt's being tucked away for our granddaughter one day....at least hopefully she'll want it.
DeleteAnother fabulous treasure finished, it really is beautiful. So many beautiful colours. Will this be displayed somewhere?
ReplyDeleteNo, it doesn't 'fit' with any of our decor so it's being vacuum sealed with a note inside stating that it's for our granddaughter.
DeleteWell....I did feel my little plot of land shake the other day. So, you were the cause??!! This quilt is so pretty. Many, many memories dancing around in those linens. How wonderful this pretty is destined for your granddaughter. A most beautiful heirloom!
ReplyDeleteYep, you can blame me! I'm very happy to have it done and put away for her.
DeleteYou have a treasure to behold now. I embiggened the quilt to look close at all the sweet pieces. My kind of quilt. Great job.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy with it, even though it doesn't fit in our decor. Thank goodness for space bags so I can store it away.
DeleteIt's absolutely gorgeous, Mary Anne. An heirloom to be cherished.
ReplyDeleteAnother thing to get out of my sewing room and stored elsewhere. I hate putting on binding so I kept putting it off.
