Hill Farm







































I've been an absent blogger this week.  My daughter and I went to visit my husband for a couple of days.  We visited a college, saw where Paul is working and living, met with a realtor and got the whirlwind tour.  I feel like I have run a marathon.  It is good to be home.  Today before we left, we looked at an 1880 Colonial with a barn and tiny cookhouse out in the middle of the countryside.  The only evidence of life were the hundreds of deer prints and the many birds that greeted us.  I think this one may need too much work even for me, but boy was it a beauty.  What would a post be without a fabric picture?  I cut this pile of goodness on New Year's Day when I was home by myself all day and night.  It just about took that long too.  With the exception of the grey floral print (which is from the "Old New Collection" and the white floral and pink polka dot - all fabric is "Hill Farm" by Brenda Riddle for Lecien.  Brenda's blog is here.  The fabric is just gorgeous.  I can't wait to show you what I'm doing with it.  Have a great weekend!

Hugs,

  3. Sounds like you had a wonderful 1/1/13 - playing with fabric!! These fabrics are beautiful, the colors and patterns are wonderful. House hunting can be exhausting yet exciting too. Enjoy the adventure.
    Have a great day.
