Welcome to Melva Loves Scraps and the weekly Sew & Tell party. We've have had some new faces/names to the party... Have you noticed? Please be sure you take a little time to visit a few of the links. :) Afterall, this is what makes the party fun! Let's mingle.
Spring is in the air... and so is love! Our niece, Bonnie, was wed last Sunday. Welcome to the family Andrew.
We've only seen a few pictures, but from what we have seen, it was a lovely day and such a special and intimate celebration. I have their quilt top complete and am to prep for quilting once the backing I have on order arrives.
It is so difficult to get true colors captured in photos... the burgundy is not nearly as red-violet as it shows, and there is more yellow than shown.
I'll wait until I get the quilt finished and be more concerned with color and contrast then.
Until then... I am able to respond to the begging from scrappy yellow quilt to finish it. A pieced back that includes some tropical print fabric found its new home after being in my stash for more than 10 years. YAY!
I have plans for a scrappy yellow binding. I shared some of my thoughts about how this bright and sunshine-y quilt was calling to me (and kept me from working on the wedding quilt), signs of spring and the satisfaction I had in making this quilt... you could read all of those here if you missed it.
I have one final appointment for Mom's eyes Monday morning and then... ??? No pressing matters and no deadlines... But plenty of yellow scraps. I think I want to work on another string quilt... in yellow, of course!
Let's take a look at this week's feature - Preeti, at Sew Preeti Quilting shared her recent Island Batik finish (Dreaming of Daylilies) made with the Signature Collection Poetic Bouquet.
She was able to get a second quilt out of the collection... and I liked it even more than Daylilies... but you'll need to visit her blog (link above) to see it. ;)
And now... it is time to get this week's party started.
Be sure to tell me what your plans are for the week... I'd love to hear from you!
Keep Piecing,
Melva

The heart design looks great with the burgundy surround! And I'm amazed that you're quilting the scrappy yellow already, too. It's so fun! Can't wait to see what you get up to with your yellow scraps next.
ReplyDeleteBonnie is beautiful, they look very happy. Is that one of those "naked" cakes that are so popular? Wish they had been the rage when I was catering, would have made it so much easier - lol! Their heart quilt is going to be so, so pretty.
ReplyDeleteoh! the bride is beautiful! LOVE her dress hair makeup. The photo reminds me of times when everyone got married at home (so meaningful to me) We had a small outdoor wedding as I paid for all of it on a socialworker's salary and it was nice. Your scrappy yellow quilt with PALM trees is awesome. I just love palm trees, I grew up in Florida and can even now remember the sounds of a breeze through palm trees at the beach
