Here's a peek at what's been on my table this past week:











I finished a table runner and six place mats for a friend, she was lovin' the Frida collection as well! The more I look at this line, the more I love it. 











Made this pillow up after a dream filled with pinks and reds. 
It was groovy to say the least. (The dream.)







It goes nicely with my newly quilted hounds tooth quilt- I just got it back from the quilting lady in Pearl City, IL. Yup, I shipped off my own quilt to be quilted ---guys---I just couldn't fit it in my sched. Nor did I want to. 
Do you even put yourself last on your list? I bet you do. 


 I binded the quilt (is that a word?) in pink and white striped fabric. 






So the back of my pillow has the same flannel fabric as the back of the quilt. Mom was nice enough to send the left overs from the quilting process to me, so I used them up promptly. 

See:







Here's the full quilt-- I'm standing on a ladder trying to get it in the frame.  It was raining buckets outside ;)  .
























Pink flannel on the back--in L O V E.













They feel cheerful in the middle of winter, don't they?








And here's some more color to pOp your day with brightness.






See you soon friends!

  1. What's the stamping for, just for fun? The quilt/pillow is cheerful for a cold day. I think it's "bound" which is also fun as you could bound for joy after it was bound.

  2. Hi Natalie - You're always so much fun to visit! I know your friend will adore the table runner and mats. So colorful...exactly what I'd expect to find here. :-) You dream in color, too? Same here. I think it makes them more memorable, actually. Thanks for another inspiration...dreams!

  3. Hi Natalie!! Your blog is really inspiring to me. It's a little scary - it inspired me so much that I just spent a bunch of money on some Frida fabric. It's wonderful!! Thanks for making me aware of it. the placemats and table runner you made with it are gorgeous! xoxo Silke
