A funny thing happened on the way to the Forum*..

on the coat

So I went to my studio, raring to go and ready to continue with the quilting on my "improve your quilting project"; and my brand spankin' new, just-bought-on-Monday fushia winter coat was all "Excuse me, but I need a scarf!"

Which meant the roving had to come out...

the roving

along with a "didn't turn out so well hand dye"  (peeking at the bottom there) for the something that the roving needed to be needle felted to.


roving placed and then I laid the roving on the fabric, and went to town!

doing a little beading

And then after it was felted, I decided it needed a little bling...



back and beading

and having done an envelope closing with midnight blue satin, I called it "done".

I have a new pin for the coat too, so all together, it's going to look very pretty! And we'll be back to our regularly scheduled program on Friday.

P.S. - I ran out of space today on my blog (and just two posts away from 500 posts!) so I need to decide whether to buy some more storage or move my blog elsewhere.  I'm using Flickr for photos in the meantime which isn't a great option because I know from personal experience that a lot of work places won't allow you to see Flickr photos. If that's a problem you're having, my apologies, and I hope you'll come and enjoy the blog later in your day. :)

  9. I know how that can happen...you're on your way to work when WHAM.. a project jumps up and grabs you by the throat... Well, you did yourself proud. It is really lovely and soft I'll bet. I am a bit concerned about your blog though. You can only do 500 posts?? Tell me more about this.
