Frazzy Dazzles

I’ve made no secret lately that I’ve struggled with what ‘to do’, how to ‘do it’ and if I even want to keep ‘doing it’.

‘It’ being follow my creative thoughts or let them flow away.

Then I went to sewing on Monday my friend offered me these little beauties to take home and make some eye candy for her store.

Free reign. Do what you like. See what you can come up with….

Penny drops and I start to feel the threads of thoughts start to disentangle themselves and rise to the surface.

Doing ’something’ seems not only do-able but probable!

In one day there was a really simple ribbon or strip quilt (above) hung over a chair. Fabulous for the first time quilter or the stitcher who needs quick results to feed their sewing desires. A pattern that almost writes itself and will be easy to follow. Keeping it company was a bright, girly frock and a fun little skirt.

The quilt top isn’t bordered or even quilted yet (I’ll post some photo’s when it’s finished) but I’m loving the bright rays of colour it’s bringing to our family room. Made all the sweeter that I got put it together while my lovely friend and I chatted and drank tea!

The fabrics are from Michael Miller and Patty Young’s ‘Play Date’ range. There’s also a splash of that gorgeous blue spot of Michael Miller’s that has my heart! Love it!

The quilt top left more than enough for a bonus little spin skirt. No point in wasting fabric when it can be used!

How wonderful it is to be doing ’something’ again!
