Now let me show you my following with my 'so 2 years ago' cross cushion :) I stuffed it last night and did a wretched job of whip stitching the opening. I need to go back and fix it after the filling has settled a bit. I have a couch to watch TV, but I end up sitting on the floor with my back against the couch most of the time. I used the cushion watching the Call the Midwife marathon and season 2 premiere. If you haven't watched it you really should.
So my statement about Kona Ash comes from a cross stitch project. I signed up for the Springtime Sampler from Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery. My Woodland Sampler is going along well even though I refuse to put eyes on things that do not have eyes on them in real life. I decided to branch out and picked up very pretty gray 14 count aida for the Spring Sampler. I thought that the gray would represent the dullness of winter going away with the bright colours of spring. I had forgotten how much of a colour suck gray can be. I need to get some white. The floss colours are very pretty and very spring! I am getting together with church friends to sew tomorrow night so I will blog after that with pictures.
Yeah, the modern quilting movement can be a bit about fads. Sometimes fun, sometimes not. I think my plan is to make what I like because I like it, whether it's a fad or not.
ReplyDeleteI feel myself getting pulled into the fads...and then I stop and think so how much of this is because EVERYONE else is doing it and how much because it's something I really like. That stopped me from quite a few things.
ReplyDeleteLove the "so 2 years ago" cushion though. A "plus" quilt is on my to do list in the very near future :)
