I bought 4 patterns from Sublime Stitching, including "TIki Freak," "Swanky Decor," "Atomique," and "Monkey Love." Now I have to find a bunch of stuff to embroider. I thought this would be a good pastime for me on vacation since I am not loving knitting and I can't take my sewing machine.
I also received my package from Sew, Mama, Sew. I am doing a pattern review for them in July. Kristin sent me a total of 1.5 yards of fabric (I chose Tangerine Damask by Michael Miller and Dots by Heather Ross), a set of handles and the pattern (actually a set of 8 patterns). I need to make at least two of the bags and write up a review for the site. I'll let you know when it is posted. Thanks Kristin and Beth!
And on an aside...my sister and brother-in-law are in France right now (*sigh*), but before they met up in Lyon, David attended a conference in Geneva. Check out this awesome picture. Inspiration for a future project??
That picture is gorgeous! Have fun with those patterns too.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, those shutters are wonderful, maybe a little insight to who lives behind them. I think I would pick the turquoise or yellow or maybe the red ones. Too pretty.
ReplyDeleteAmazing photo, I love stuff like that. I want to live behind that hot pink shutters.
ReplyDeleteBonjour!
ReplyDeleteLyon est tres magnifique! I bought you a piece of silk from this little fabri store crammed to the ceiling with fabric. The old woman who ran the shop started arguing with a customer while waiting on me. very fun!
