my creative space


My creative space is so hot this week .

Pretty , vintage hankies are being put together
for a very light blanket .
I can't call it a quilt because I'm not a quilter .
I think I'd like to be though .

    Right now it would make for a pretty sheet in these hot hot hot nights. We have rain & cool temperatures in Canberra now, hope the rain travels your way or have you had enough water lately?? I'll send the cooler weather, love Posie

    I like Jacqui's idea of a table cloth Clare. Or... you could put it back on the line each day just to make the yard look pretty!! LOL

    Sewing squares of fabric together is as good as quilting to me! Love your blanket - looks so light and breezy on the line.

    You have inspired me to finally do something with the pile of hankies I bought at Best & Less last year. Not until this weather passes though, nothing happening in my own creative space the last few days - too, too hot.
    Have a good weekend.

    They look great with all the little coloured orders around the edges. It would look pretty as a tablecloth...high tea anyone....with cucumber sandwiches, of course?!

    Hi Clare, Have done a QUILT just like yours many years ago from my great grandmas hanky collection. It's really where I began. Pretty sure you are going to be a quilter! Whilst I sewed the hankies long ago it wasn't until we started machine quilting that I turned it into a much loved quilt. Happy stitching Chrisb.

    I love the tablecloth idea. Cant you just see this with high tea spread out all over it?

    You could always do a quilted tablecloth - kill two birds with one stone.

    Then invite me round for high tea.

    A lovely idea. Full of childhood memories. Where do you find vintage hankies? Are they family pieces. ?
