patchwork horse

April 14, 2007

Dscn0002_1

I finished this horse today. I love that blue canvas with the buttons and numbers on it.  I combined it here with some new and vintage fabrics and some linen.  This piece will go to Sui Generis in Cambridge.

Bird

We spent the morning outside today trying to soak up some sun before the next big storm hits. Charlie spotted this blue bird working with its mate on building a nest.

Simon is a great dirt and grass-eating enthusiast.

And Roxanne gathers twigs and leaves for the goody bags at birdy’s birthday party.

It looks like it’s going to be a cold and wet Boston Marathon on Monday.

    I have some of that blue button fabric and have been saving it for something perfect. Love it in your horse.

    They are so sweet and so is the horse. Seems as though people will be flying away in the Boston Marathon…it’s soooo windy!

    I LOVE your patchwork horse, especially when he looks so bashful in the picture … camera shy!? Good job, girl!

    Best of luck with the pieces that you’ve decided to put in the shop. I see that they donate their profits to charity – what a great spot. Your children, by the way, are just gorgeous (even when they’re eating grass)!
