Loose Ends

The last two weeks have been a bit haphazard as far as projects go.  A lot of jumping around from one project to another.  Today, I feel like I'm getting most of it under control.  These boxed sets of Anna Maria's perle cottons contributed to the creative free for all.  I love these.  I could sit with these all day long stitching away from dawn to dusk.
The two collections are Reflecting Pool and Geranium Wall.  Not only do they compliment her latest line, Loulouthi, but past lines as well.  I think you will find the colors will go with many other designer's fabrics too.
For instance, pull out these three colors and put them with Jennifer Paganelli's West Indies.  Perfection!  I completed a small quilt that goes with this quilted pillow.  I just need to do a little staging for photos.
 
Then we'll do a big reveal.  You're going to love it.  Promise!
And now back to the uncompleted embroidery project with Loulouthi.  More on that one later.  Hope you enjoyed your weekend.

  3. Melissa! I have missed you! :o) I was getting caught up reading all the posts I've missed. I so love your energy, your creativity, your love of animals..the list is long! You have been quite busy! I truly appreciate the post on how to be creative. I am my own worst enemy when it comes to just 'letting go and letting it flow'. But I'm working on it! You are such an inspiration and I am SO glad to have met you...even if it's just through blogging. Thank you, my friend! :o)

  6. I LOVE the hand stitching with the extra big stitches. Anna's thread do them justice. The color combination with the fabric is spot on. I am looking forward to the big reveal of the quilt. I will be checking back to see if you have got it up on the blog. Carolina
