My Weekend Color Fix

It is truly a happy Friday here at Casa P.  Look at all these beautiful Anchor perle cotton threads!  They arrived yesterday after a lengthy trip from the UK.  Aren't they amazing?
In the photo it appears as though I received duplicates of golds and rust.  However, they're all different shades.  I'm excited about putting these to use.  These colors will complement the assortments of Anna Maria Horner's collection which I've been gushing over for weeks.
I promised you a look at the finished pillow from this post.  This traditional quilt block looks fresh and modern in West Indies (which incidentally is popping up in shops now).  Irregularly spaced squares of quilting and a gathered fabric flower with buttons add to the modern vibe.

The weathermen are promising even cooler temperatures this weekend.  It will be the kind of weather that encourages sitting by the window curled up with thread and embroidery.  Good thing I got that package in time.

Have a great Friday!
