Just because she is SEW nice, Amy bought me a sweet present that reminded her of this quilt I made recently. Look, it's a wee robin's nest handmade from porcelain.
It is made by Earthenwood Studio. It is entirely precious. As she said in her card, fabric was necessary to cushion the fragile cargo, so Amy also include FIVE FQ's!!! Wow, this fabric is so pretty - the colours amazing. I'm thinking a cushion may be in order. Couldn't you just see this with some natural linen?
It's Cherish Nature by Deb Strain for Moda...check out the selvage edge. I had heard here that some of the American printing companies were getting creative with their colour dots to keep up with their creative Japanese counterparts. Cool!
How incredibly sweet and thoughtful of you Amy....mwah! Thank you so much. The kindness of quilters never ceases to amaze me.
This comes at a great time, because I'm getting ready for two big things: RETREAT and GIVEAWAY (hmmm, may involve selvage)! Coincidentally, last year when I retreated with my two quilting buddies, we watched a mama robin feed her wee chicks in a nest just below the cottage window where we were sewing. I wonder if she returned this year? I'll find out tomorrow.
Be sure to come back on Monday for Giveaway Day! I'll (hopefully) have lots to show you next week....WARNING: productivity depends on the sunshine, lake temperature and wine supply over the next 5 days!
