WiP Wednesday #11 – DNSE9P
As I mentioned on Facebook last night, “Molli is always chic, but shabby she ain’t.” Truth. After originally bringing this shabby-chic-fest to your attention for Sunday Stash #11 it was time for the rotary cutter to do its thang. (I have been leaving the door unlocked in the hopes that I get robbed and this is all they take, but alas, it hasn’t happened). So, I’ve taken these half yard cuts…
… and started a floral love affair. I must say, that is my MIL’s Pfaff on my $2,500 dining room sewing table (Mr. Sparkles never lets me forget!) that she is loaning to me so I can make her quilt. Major thank you and props to her for encouraging my passion, and if this is what it takes, then so be it. I know a bargain when I see one! You’ll notice the cutting board isn’t on the table because it doesn’t fit completely, so I’ve had to take over the kitchen bench as well. Pretty soon I’ll literally be able to call my sewing space, The House of Molli Sparkles.
A slish and a slash later, I’ve got five inch charms ready to go for that disappearing-not-soon-enough nine patch. I’m gonna run up some test blocks to make sure placement is correct. Any suggestions? I’d love to hear if you have experience in these sorts of things.
If I told you that I’m linking up with Freshly Pieced, you’d do it too, right:
Oooooh, pastel florals!!! Ummmmm, you go girlfriend!?!?!
Oh I remember these! Good luck with the pattern. BTW your table looks so organized.
Whoa.. I'm glad you had something else to distract your and our eyes. 😉 Hang in there!
I wondered what happened with these! And that's all I have to say about that. As to your other lovely stack, well! I'm excited for that! 🙂
Ha, the best of us sew on our dining tables and eat off our laps. Mine was only a £70 job though ;o)
Ooooo they are so yum together! Gorgeous colour combination 🙂 I've hoarded some of my favourite fabrics for months and months, I'm getting brave and cutting into them too! It's not so painful as I thought it would be!
I'm finally catching up on reading my blogs and this made my day. I think you're my favorite.
