This is long overdue...but as they say, better late than never.
A few months ago, The Stitching Coop was having a giveaway and I entered. Never thinking anything about it after that. Her talent at making these little lap quilts just amazed me. I knew that they had to be soft to the touch, felt like a piece of my past and smelled like Mammaw for some reason. When I got the notification that I won, I was elated!
Isn't it beautiful? And yes...it was everything I imagined it would be.
It found it's resting spot on what I call "Mama's Chair"....my chair. When I get a little chilled, I pull it down over my legs and it does the trick!
This is the way I usually have it, but when company comes I try to spruce it up a bit.
I absolutely love it....maybe later I can buy a bigger one for the sofa. She sells on Etsy, so check her out and tell her I said hello.
Cute, Melanie! You have a real flair in your decorating. I have one of those little lap quilts (just a little bigger than yours) that I got from a local gal who sold at the Mound Fair (September).
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, Melanie! It looks great on your chair, too. I've pinned a lovely white and cream one that I'd like to try for myself. I just did my first rag quilt as a baby gift. I figured a crib size was a good first time project for a quilt like this. I'm going to do another one soon for my granddaughter's big girl bed. {Then maybe I can do the one for me!}.
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful, Melanie. What a nice win of a give-away. xo Diana

Congratulations! Isn't it fun to win something? Love how it looks on your chair! The colors are so soft. Enjoy! Hugs, Leena
ReplyDeleteIt does look perfect in your house--lucky you! I have been thinking I might need to make one someday. I love them--I have several I bought years ago from a lady on ebay. Love them!
ReplyDeleteHow do you do this.. I really would love to make some covers and upholstery.. is it hard? I love love love all your pretty things that you have made over... I have done the painting with no problem but the well I don't know how to start with a recovering process.. with love Janice
ReplyDeleteThank you Janice! I just taught myself by studying anything I could about slipcovers and upholstery. You tube has great tutorials and so does Pinterest. Check them out...it's really not that hard, just time consuming.
