Wall Vignette




So, I decided to work on the wall in my bedroom opposite my sewing room door. I love the idea of the fabric hoops and have them in my living room, but I wanted to change it a little and not see the metal adjuster at the top. I cut the fabric out with pinking shears so that it would just cover the side of the hoop and hot glued dots at intervals along the wood frame. I pressed the fabric to the glue dot and the result is a pretty scallop that looks decidedly more feminine and perfect for my bedroom. Both red fabrics are from Moda & the owl one is the newest line from Birch Fabrics that I just got in yesterday. I just did a little quilting to emphasize some of the elements in the print. So cute!! The large bird print is home dec fabric from Thomas Paul & I bought it at fabric.com. 
Happy with another corner!

One Little Corner of My House

New throw and pillow for my bedroom couch

One thing leads to another in decorating, doesn't it?? We finished my sewing room addition about a year ago & have been undecided on the curtain I would put on the glass door going from my bedroom into the sewing room. Then came Girls World Vibe & I knew the Carrie fabric in either gold or brown would fit the bill from my bedroom side. I decided on the brown to contrast with the gold walls in my room. I added a small lumbar pillow with ball fringe to the couch to tie in the curtain. It's been really cold lately, so I've been wanting to make a minky throw for the couch in my bedroom. Do you see the chain reaction??? I finally got it together and used mostly chocolate and apple green with a tiny bit of pink and yellow with cream minky for the back. My Franciscan plates up to pull in more color and get 'stuff' on the walls! 

For the patchwork curtain, I originally thought of Carrie in the aqua, then, well maybe the brown. . . my husband said that having that door right next to the Wall of Wow called for a busy, colorful print, so I decided to use my fabric scraps that I have stored in baggies by size. I used 8x8, 6x8 & along the bottom 4x8. I LOVE how it came out, and it's like a quilt on a door. I think if I could write a book it would be called Living with Patchwork because anything I can do to make something made of multiple fabrics, I do it.  Now to do the other side of my room. . . and the lampshades... and my summer quilt that I hope will be using the Swoon pattern. . . stay tuned!

New Year, New Projects!

I am really excited to start off 2010 with a new, big project! Those 2 fabric stacks represent the fabrics that will be used in 2 sisters rooms. Stack 1 will be a twin size quilt(random patchwork), pillow sham, dust ruffle and curtains. Stack 2 will be a twin size quilt (8" squares), dust ruffle, pillow sham & panels for a canopy bed (I know, how fun!!). Will post occasionally about the progress. I am so thrilled to see how it will all come together. I will be praying for a clear mind to be able to deal with all the details!!

Thanks for visiting!
