This is our new quilt that my friend made for us. I love it! Blues and tans are my favorite color combination. Now we just have to paint the walls a light blue and it will look great.
It's a pretty simple pattern and it has writing on some of the pieces. Also the quilting design is in the shape of bunnies! How sweet is that!!
Anyway, I thought I'd share it with you before I take it off and put my old quilt back on. My old one is a store bought one and has taken it's toll over the years from our 6 cats. This new one will only go on for holidays and company... at least for a while anyway. Thanksgiving will probably be it's debut.
Today is Thursday... and I don't have class (although I do need to go to the studio and see if some of my work has come out of the kiln). We have a 'clay sale' coming up at the school where people can see their projects to other students and the money is divided in some way between the Clay Club and the creator. I will donate some of my many many cylinders that I've been working on. What do you do with 40 - 50 clay cylinders? I have glazed them and will put a herb or flower in some of the shorter ones. Hopefully they will be of interest to someone and make a little money for the club. I did make a birthday gift for Molly (our 20 year old cat) - a food dish and water bowl with her name on it. And I'm still playing around with my clay jewelry. Keeps me busy.
I'm been planning to make some Chicken Tetrazini all week, but have never gotten around to it. I guess that I could make it today... ? And I watched a Chef on TV make some Guiness Irish Stew that looked delicious! I hope to try that recipe next week.
and here is a mug that I made when I got tired of cylinders. It's only been fired once and just came out of the kiln. Hope my handle holds. I tried a pulled handle and it messed up... so I twisted it. We'll see.
What a beautiful quilt, the bed looks very inviting!
ReplyDeleteGuinness stew, that sounds tempting too :-)
Thanks, Cait. I'm going to try the Guiness stew this week. Will let you know.
DeleteOh Rian, that quilt is beautiful! Don't remove it, why not use it? It's got all kinds of sweet vibes. :-)
ReplyDeleteDJan, I do intend to use it... just not as an everyday quilt... yet. Our cats are hard on some things and they love our bed. We do love them, but between their claws and an occasional upchuck, I'd like to keep it pristine for a little while.
DeleteThe quilt is absolutely gorgeous. That is a gift of love. I enjoy hearing about your pottery progressions. It looks as though the cat dish was appreciated!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Olga. I do love it and she is a dear friend. Don't know what I would do without her in my life.
DeleteAs for my pottery... it's something I'll probably never be really good at, but I don't intend to be an artist or become extremely proficient at it... I just really enjoy doing it.
That quilt is gorgeous, Rian. You have a very kind and gifted friend. my most favourite dress ever was just those colours. :-) Your pottery is amazing too and I do admire the way you keep yourself active and involved.
ReplyDeleteI tend *to lean* towards those colors. When we would shop for yarn, I would fall in love with the multicolored blues and tans/browns too.
