I hope I did this right Olga as I am not conversant with putting links on a post but I have goven it a shot so here goes! Oh and thank you Olga for hosting this as I think it will be great fun!
I thought it was a super idea to have a special day just for showing handmade things and giving other bloggers a chance to make a comment or suggestion about what we have made.
For instance I made this wall hanging many years ago based on an idea in Marie Claire Idees a magazine I used to get in Montreal. I loved the colors and thought it was a wonderful way to use up bits of fabric I had in boxes. You will notice that there is still room for improvement though as I had always meant to add a flower to the vase on the right and although the original hanging in the magazine didn't have anything else I have always though the background looked a little blah. So maybe this is my chance to add some new touches to an old project and jazz it up!
Suggestions are always welcome! Have a great Monday making something with your hands...
I need to learn how to do those mosaic picturamas!
Hello, Tina. Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and leaving such sweet comments. I really do like your quilt. I have always wanted to make one myself but never seem to find the extra time.
ReplyDeleteI don't have any suggestions for "jazzing" up your quilt.I love the country colors and the patterns in it. I think it's quite lovely as it is. :-)
I hope you have a very beautiful day,
Susan
Those are great, love them!

Dear Tina,
ReplyDeleteyes I would do some applications, the idea with the flower on the right side is charming. You could also make something with beads on it.
For making a mosaic you get the description on the blog little red house. There is a button on the right side when you click on it you get the instructions. It took me first a little time but now I am used to it. In case you have trouble with it we can email.
And please make a photo of your turquoise wall in case you paint it in that colour.
Have a nice week!

Hi Tina, your wall hanging is very pretty. It's so neatly done. I especially like the stacks of bowls and mugs. Quilting and making fabric appliques is what I'd love to learn one day. Thank you for joining Handmade Monday. Have a fabulous week!
ReplyDeleteTina,

Tina what a pretty piece. Is there anything you can not do.lol
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking about you wondering how you are. I checked to see if you had sent me your story and I hope you have not because it was not there. lol I am good about loosing stuff so please tell me you have not wrote it yet.
I have to catch up with your other post while I am here. The last few weeks my pain has returned so I am behind with sites of my friends
Love

Very fun. Would love to see some flowers too. I have not made a quilt in so many years. Someday I hope to try it again. Thanks for the nice comments - they are so appreciated.
