Stripping


Have jelly roll of divine worn and washed fabrics, will strip!



The best sort of sewing ... free and easy.  The strips are cut for you.  Chop them up a bit more if you fancy, make little piles of fabric ... roughly white, blue and pink.  Rummage through stash for long-abandoned manly shirts with frayed collars to add into the mix and make things completely one's own.  Feel chuffed that knew they would come in handy one day.  Hurrah!

Let's piece.  Piece, piece, piece.  First one, pink flowery ... next one, blue stripey.  Ooh what next?  How I love to piece!  It's my favourite bit of the quilting process.


Piecing with furry friends, enjoying a rare communal eidy-hogging moment.  What could be better?


Loooong strips of candy-striped, polka-dotted, check-shirted goodness start to emerge.


I'm excited!


With every stitch, it's looking more delicious.


Where shall it live once it's finished?  I can't help thinking ahead.  Always so keen to see the finished article. 


The colours remind me of our newly decorated guest room.


Methinks we need to take a closer shifty in there sometime soon...
