Happy New Year everyone! After a busy week of socializing I am exhausted. Having fun has made me tired! I have washed LOTS of dishes and made up quite a few beds. But today is New Year’s Day, the wind is whipping through the trees and it is dark and snowing now and then. A good moody day to ease into the long list of projects that need attention. A quiet day for reflection and resolutions.
I have managed to escape to the studio everyday for a little “quiet time” and some quilting. In fact, I have been going in circles… lots of circles. I will show you the rest when it is all finished.
And today we begin to get organized for a new year of positive possibilities. These wonderful file satchels were designed by my friend, Melissa Peda. They are quilted and lined and perfect for the serious fashion follower. They would be perfect laptop or iPad covers, too. You can buy the pattern or purchase them ready made at Melissa’s Etsy shop, 100 Billion Stars. These were made with fabrics from the new Early Birds collection. Left, Primrose Posies in the Plum colorway, right, Leaf Dance in Lime and Primrose Posies in Blueberry.
Our new life begins tomorrow. But those leftovers in the fridge still remain!
Happy, Happy New Year! I can’t wait to see all that happens in 2012.
Happy New Year to you too.
That snow looks beautiful- we’ve had none this Winter,quite missing it!
I’m wondering what thread you used for your delicious circles- the quilting shows up so strongly against the fabric,is it just standard thread or thicker/satin?
Happy New Year!! I love that circular quilting with your primroses! Melissa P really knows how to show off a fabric at its best. Those satchels are fabulous!!
Happy New Year. those fabrics are beautiful.
Love the snowy picture.
