Quilt News from the valley! Spring showers, blossoms and birds singing here.
I've been slow stitching and adding pages to my stitch journal, inspired by Sarah @ Roxy Creations.
And do visit Sarah and her friends, to see all their projects, which are many and varied! She works with paper, fabric, laces, buttons and threads, etc and makes journals, needle books, everything little thing you can imagine.
It very much reminds me of crazy quilting, the same concept really. The pages are small so it goes together faster than you'd think and the layers and slow stitching give a beautiful texture. I used lace from a vintage handkerchief I found in a thrift shop to border the back page and the lace hangs over for an informal scrappy look. More embellishment and stitching will soon be added.
On walks we have been enjoying the birds singing and the trees and shrubs blossoming. Spring is a thrill isn't it?
And that is the quilt news from the valley where it's time to visit the grandkids, so I must run!
I'm remembering to be thankful!
I'll be by to visit.
