I had a bit of a maths fail recently. Maths really isn't my thing, and hasn't ever been. This cushion (for Poppy's birthday) has a bit of wonk. It also has one of the book club stitchettes. I am really happy with how the colours of the border fabrics work together, which is good because it is a smaller version of the secret project I am working on. Here is a sneak peak of the secret project- complete with a whole lot of maths.
I was also lucky enough this week to spend an afternoon with Alice, who was on a quick visit from her new hometown. We had a wonderful time (and so did the kiddies) talking life, love, the universe and fabric.
We discussed this pile that I am thinking about for a single bed quilt for A2. Its quite pale, I am still reflecting on it. They are some of my favourite fabrics, mostly fat quarters and scraps. I love each and every one of them and I really want to use them for my children. A1 is a bit old for them now and really has her own sense of what she likes. A2 is just the right age. I guess I was saving them for the future, but this morning I started sorting through baby paraphernalia to give away and sell. Its not the easiest thing, however focussing on the positives like the extra space and a few extra dollars to spend on fabric does help.
ha ha! you yourself are a bit of a wonk!
