Along with some yarn, I made her this mini. The Melody Miller pyrex print is one of Amanda's favorites, and she plans to make cafe curtains for her new kitchen with it. I thought she could use a table topper (or wall hanging) that coordinates with her future curtains.
I backed the mini with Essex Linen and quilted with random vertical lines.
I tried to cut the pyrex fabric so that the blocks wouldn't be perfectly fussy-cut, but instead, they would appear as a background to the wonky star.
The mark of a good gift is not wanting to give it, and that definitely applies here.
I also sent Amanda one of these, and kept one for myself. We (along with Jeni) are planning to make the Blossom Pincushion, from I Heart Patchwork, by Rashida Coleman-Hale.
That's all for today! I wish you a happy Monday!
eeeeep! No wonder you wanted to keep it - it's adorable!
ReplyDeleteHow fun is this!! Very!!!
ReplyDeleteit's so pretty! i love the binding.
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty! I love that Pyrex print and they way you used it. Adorable!
ReplyDeleteI really love this! You have so perfectly cut and sewed-in the pyrex dishes - they really do look like background fabric rather than being a little more obvious if they were fussy-cut and centred. What a gorgeous little gift! Cat.
ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous, and what amazing fabric with the pyrex bowl design! Spectacular.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE those prints! Especially the black and white scissors peeking out from the inner border. I'm impressed you were able to give it up!
