Wedgewood Blues

I finished stitching the binding on this one this morning.


I'm calling it Wedgewood Blues as it reminds me of the blues found in the old Wedgewood Blue Willow china pattern.

I backed it with this - it's from Jinny Byer's line called Glacial Ice and I bought a bolt of it a while ago for something like $2.50 a yard - how can you go wrong?


You may recall I have another one of these which is the same, except it has a different border. It isn't quilted yet. I must have had one heck of a lot of blue in my stash as I got these two, plus the queen sized Blue Rover I'm currently working on and I still have more blue than anything else in my stash. What can I say - blue is my favourite colour!

We attended a wonderful 70th birthday party yesterday for a good friend. He was totally surprised which isn't easy to do! The food was absolutely delicious - they barbecued 3 large sirloin roasts which were so tender and tasty. One of the appetizers served was a slice of cheese and a strip of sundried tomato wrapped in a basil leaf - it was really yummy and I'm going to copy it the next time I make appetizers

It's a wet, dreary day here today - a perfect day to sew. Then again, isn't every day a perfect sewing day?

Only if you can't play golf, then it's a perfect sewing day. ;-) Wedgewood Blues is gorgeous! You got a heck of a bargain on that blue fabric...which is a lovely colour, by the way.

Very pretty and I love the fans on it. I agree most days are perfect for sewing but I've been in a funk the last few days -- finally tonight I got another top loaded and quilted and already feel better!
