Warm colors are nice this time of year. This wonky log cabin will be a baby blanket. We called baby blankets, “baa-baa’s” in this house. How about in yours?
Just so you know (re: my carbon footprint), Pembroke is probably a 40 minute drive.
I’d been sawing at cloth for nearly a year. Having sharp scissors in the house is as delightful as getting a decent haircut was last week!
PS. The light behind the quilt makes clear there is at least one seam that needs straightening. You know it’s crooked if I’m prepared to fix it!
lovely colours for a baby-quilt !
(oh my …. that chair : LOOOOVE the armrests !!!)
Thanks, Els. And yeah it’s a nice chair (although a pain to dust those curls!)
It’s so beautiful in the window’s light…
We call them blankies, but really, the special ones have their own names- “Rosie” was Blue’s & “Polka-dot” was Moon’s.
I’m not surprised your boys’ blankies had names! that’s so cute
Beautiful colours. I should get myself some decent fabric scissors. Baby blankets became bambas in my family.
I’ve never heard ‘bambas’ before, but it makes sense. I have half a dozen fabric scissors in the house. For years, at least one or two pair would be sharp. One they got dull, they were consigned to paper (marked with a sharpie). And then I went along where at least PART of a pair of scissors would be sharp (the tip or the inner section). But I had gone waaaaaaaaaay too long without a single part of a single pair being sharp. Treat yourself!
wonderful quilt, love the British Baking Show
The Great British Baking Show is a balm for the soul these days. They work hard. They bring their best to the table. No one is shitty to anyone else. There’s no pandering to the audience with saccharine stories or tales of woe. It’s fun.
I totally agree, can’t stand the shows on food network where they rip everyone to pieces
And the singing shows, too. They could just focus on the talent.
Have you seen Chef’s Table on Netflix, very inspiring also, documentary Cooked on Netflix?
Love that show! All about finding one’s voice, really. I like seeing the twists various lives take and how these creatives overcame difficulties. A great show.
I would never, ever notice (or frankly care) a crooked seam! I always love cloth in window light! The best! I just use my scissors however, I’m no that great a quilter/maker.
