Nick and I had a fun photo shoot with all of them this afternoon during H's nap, and I really think the pictures will help me with style points. He is really talented. (He dabbles in wedding photography with Nathan at Fyrefly Photography.) And on a side note about Nick, he was a little worried that I painted a picture of him as a tyrant husband when I said he was going to "let me sew" all day Tuesday. Of course, that's not the case and he would be happy for me to sew anytime I want to, and I just meant that he had kindly offered to be completely in charge of Hendrix all day so that I was freed up, but I'm sure you knew that. Anyway, geeez, get out of my personal bizness.
Here's my second potholder-
The embroidered piece is one of these linens I got at an antique market. Then I freezer-paper stenciled the bird (Put a Bird On It!) and quilted all the layers together. I'm a big fan of this one.
And here's the money shot for my first entry-
Much better than a phone picture, don't you think?
I have two more to show you later in the week, and there may or may not be a tutorial to go along with them. No promises from me, I can't even commit to a brand of toothpaste.
Jessica! I hope you win! I love the 1st one! I would be really EXTREMELY suprised if you didn't win.... not just saying that!
ReplyDeleteThat birdie potholder is gorgeous!!! So creative :)
ReplyDeleteLove the bird one! You're very talented. My only wish, other than you winning the contest, is that I could live close enough to get lessons and craft with you while our wee ones play together. :)
ReplyDeleteI love that Nick reads and then is concerned about how he looks to your readers.
ReplyDeleteI really really love them both, but there's something about the black bird one, lovely!
Looking forward to seeing the others.
