On the weekend our Cornish festival was on. I missed out on most of it, the maypole, etc but Mum and I did go to two quilting displays. Benny, Dad and I also went to the 'cavalcade of cars' which was great, I love seeing all the beautiful old cars lovingly restored. My favourites were model t fords, an old fire truck driven by two men in old style firemen uniforms and hats. And also a ridiculously cute little vintage caravan that Dad and I really want.
I have loads of pictures of the skillfully stitched creations, but for today I'm just sharing my favourite. I love most of the stitcheries and plan on hunting down the pattern to make a similar quilt
An adorable apple orchard that I hope to one day plant my garden (you know, when I have a garden!)
its really killing me with its cuteness. Next post- lots of the other quilts and vintage sewing machines

It is a cute quilt. I love the one of the garden with the water sprinkler sprinkling away!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your take on this pattern. I can not imagine taking on something this big...
You're right, it just kills with cuteness!! What wonderful inspiration.
ReplyDeleteAnd I can't wait to see the vintage sewing machines, what fun!
Blessings, Debbie
Karen what wonderful that quilt but you will set yourself a task when you start on it but the end result will be just what you wanted I suppose You are definitely much more courageous ( when it come to crafts )then your Oma Then again Jacob with his trenchcoat ( he reminds me of you a bit )however he has his AuntyHelena.she does help him but he has to do himself a bit too the outside is finished.
ReplyDeleteIm so itching to get started on this, pip, thanks for the link to the pattern!
