Green Day (With a bit of pink thrown in)

Firstly, another piece to the pie!

What better way to celebrate World Environment Day than share one of my favourite

colour combinations-

Green and Pink!

I have my dear Mum to thank for this obsession.

These were the colours that she loved to use in her home decorating and I can remember many a cushion cover, curtains, paint effect and bedspread from my childhood.

In fact the photo (above) was of a piece I was working on nearly five years ago, when she passed away.

I do like a quilt which includes some other stitchery - blanket, chain and herringbone featured here. Kinda gives it an extra dimension, don't cha think?

Mum never got to see this but I think she would have liked it.

It's probably time to get it finished!

Originally it was to be a cushion cover, but I have decided it will look better as a centre for a

border type quilt.

(More photos soon, when some more definite design ideas are in place. )

Have a happy Sunday!

Another Piece of the Pie

This is what the Pie Quilt looks like so far.

Can't wait to get it finished!

I have loved making it but there does some a time when a quilt is just screaming to be finished!

A rather wonky photo of the latest pie piece.

The photo is not only wonky but so is the piecing!

Just as well I haven't stitched it down to the background yet!

Happy stitching!

Pie Piecing

Hi friends and followers,

Feeling a little like I have had my left hand chopped off! (YES- I'm left handed)

My sewing machine is off on holiday and I am hand piecing!

This is one of my efforts for the weekend!

I have only another five of these planned before the Pie Quilt is almost complete. It can then be ticked off my 'must finish' list for 2010.

Don't you just love that orange spot!

Back to work and see you soon!

Suz
