a sure-fire way I think to motivate me to finish...One Project A Month...
The project for February....
This is the little quilt I just had to have when I first spotted it in my local Patchwork Shop, Steph's...A fabric panel depicting my favourite at the moment...The Eiffel Tower...
how cool is that I thought...
This is how it came all rolled up and tied with a cute little pink ribbon...
A big decision at home...on 2 sides was this pink stripey fabric...
okay I thought hang on to it...it could look good...
After much deliberating I ended up taking it off as it didn't look quite right...
This is only the 2nd little quilt I have quilted...
here it is all ready to sandwich (I think that's the term used)
meaning putting it on top of a layer of cotton/wool filling
and then backing it...and finally quilting it!!!
I just finished stitching the label on today...
My first mitred corner!!!
And here 'tis...my version of Paris Eiffel Tower!!!
I machine quilted in a variable blue thread by machine...
I had intended to hand quilt it in Perle thread like the sample at the top but not having a frame I found it a bit difficult...nevertheless I think it's okay!!!

O.K., now this is way cool......those little pink Eiffel Towers are just darling, and the postcard! This famous icon will always hold such charm and will serve as a muse for great art for many more years!!!
How are you dearest, with all this aftershock of the earthquake in Chili? I worried about you after hearing that parts of New Zealand and all that were having Tsunami warnings....have you been affected?

That is so pretty and colorful. You should be very proud of yourself. Thanks for sharing the pictures and I love the label!
Whew.....glad to know that you are all fine. WE have a young student friend of ours that just flew into Santiago two days ago, and we are a bit worried, with all this talk about the devastation. Keep safe dearest!
