Here's my Wednesday post!
I'm currently laid up in bed, cuz the throat infection I had last week became a sinus infection over the weekend which became a chest infection this week (oh joy!) So meds and bed rest are all that is in store for me, but hey, speaking of joy, look, just LOOK at these lovelies that came to me from over the sea today!
These stunningly beautiful hand-dyed lengths of scrim came to me, for no reason other than that I mentioned I had gotten Nif, from the generous (and clearly, fabulous) Deborah O'Hare. She has a lovely blog called The Blue Hare
I first became aware of Deborah just about two years ago. I was clicking through blog links and came across this:
and was totally gobsmacked. (I especially loved her incorporation of actual stones and pebbles!) I started following her blog right away, and was later inspired to make my own grey quilt
But back to Deborah:
In addition to making lovely scrims such as these.
she also has beautiful hand dyed and hand painted fabrics for sale as well as art quilts and templates for sale at her shop called Quilt Routes (on Folksy). (click there too!) For example:
I mean, how beautiful is that !?
She also has a website called Quilt Routes, where, if you should be lucky enough to live near her, you can find information about booking Deborah for workhops, talks, or find a link to her Flickr, where you can see even more of her amazing work.
And as for what she so kindly sent me,
Oh, I have plans for this!!
Until then, go visit Deborah and enjoy what she has to offer.
Thank you Deborah! You have definitely brightened my day!

Oh, Kit, that sounds awfully miserable - feel better soon! But what a nice comfort to have that beauty arrive! Can't wait to see what you do with it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jodi - I hope I feel better soon too! lol But I am looking forward to getting back into my sewing room and getting creative again! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome gift. If you have more than you know what to do with let me know...tee hee.
ReplyDeleteI am sure you will use them beautifully.
Do get well soon too...hanging out in bed almost sounds like fun. NOT!
Oh, Lynn - I'm SO tired of being sick. I don't talk about it much on my blog (because lord how boring would that be?) but I have literally been sick since October. Sinus infection, bronchitis, whooping cough, pneumonia, and gee, that was just October through Christmas! lol
ReplyDeleteI am SO hoping this is the last round of crap and that I will finally be better. *crosses fingers and all toes*
