Progress with Paris Metro

At last - something on the design wall!!!

This quilt in the making is just picking fabrics from large scraps of older fabrics, newer ones from AMH
and just whatever was handy. I have three more strips to stitch up and it's not quite as wide as the original pattern.

Looks a bit  blocky on the bottom right hand side but there wasn't much planning in this, if the fabric looked happy then it stayed there.

The inertia which was troubling me - due to health - seems to have lifted a little and the feeling of needing to immerse myself in colour and cloth is once again here. So, guess what I thought would be a good idea - a little 'cheering up shopping'. Fabric below to make two pillow covers for great-granddaughter

the fabric pack below I could not resist, so vibrant and full of joy and the quieter ones in the second photo would work well I think.

last is a treat from Kaffe Fassett Archives range

 

My computer has come to the end of its allotted life span so I have a new one ordered and no doubt will be driven totally crazy finding my way around settings and such. Hopefully it will be here perhaps within a week or so as I following a CT angiogram last week I have a short hospital stay in three weeks and would like to be familiar with my new computer by then.

Can you guess the colour of my new computer from the picture of one of my crystal paperweights below?

That's about all from me today, hopefully I can finish up Paris Metro this week and have that on my next post.  Before I  close I have a new friend in my sewing room, she was on display in the local chemist/gift shop along with others of different colours, I bought one for great granddaughter and this one just for me,

family think I've gone crazy but here is Flopsy!

Thats it from me for now, wish I had more projects to show but hopefully I can have something more in a few days. Until then Happy Quilting to all and please excuse any blips in my post!
