These past few days I've been enjoying the sunny spring weather and a little bit of sewing!! Combine those two and you can't get much better than that!!
After sending my Miss Dandy mini off I decided I really wanted to sew up some of my favorite swap pieces that I've sent off and have missed dearly!! I decided to do the double hourglass as that was the first one I had done for the Doll Quilt Swap quite some time ago. This time I made the double hourglass from the new Flower Sugar in red and aqua, and made it into a pillow!! It sure looks pretty sitting in all its glory on my armchair!! Hopefully in the up coming weeks I can wip up some of my other favorites I've made for swaps so I can enjoy them too. :)
Daffodils and my new spring pillow!! :)
Since this week has been so beautiful we went to the beach and park for the first time this year! It was so nice to be able to all go out and enjoy the beautiful spring weather!! We are suppose to be getting rain again so at least we were able to enjoy it while it lasted!!A spring mosaic!!
Are you also enjoying the first week of Spring? I'd love to hear what you've been enjoying this week!! :)
It was 70 out one day last week which was fantastic! ...and then we just got some snow today mixed with rain and yuck... no fun :(
ReplyDeleteps. gorgeous pillow! I just got some aqua and red charm packs, might copy your idea a bit - love the binding/piping especially!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great pillow!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I have been seeing a lot of pillows out in blog land lately and have decided that I must make some! It was starting to feel spring but yesterday we had our usualy March/April blizzard in Southern Ontario and it will be a few more weeks until the deck is clear enough again to BBQ!
