VENETZIA and BFF

                                              A foggy morning in Venice, trying out borders
                                                                  ....led to

..."the sun comes shining through..."

I love this old piece of Japanese cloud fabric

(even the thread doesn't want to let go hahaha)

It blends in so well with the Venice colors and

 I added the rest of my golden leaves for length..

So, my backing is all ready...

I just love this print; I had bought it in 2002 after our trip to Italy and never could find just how to use it as I didn't want to cut it up...and so,

another serendipitous moment..;}}}}}

This brings back so many wonderful memories of our fabulous trip to Italy--

A beautiful country and wonderful people....

MY BFF

(Best Filly Friend)

She is hoping to catch up with her BFF here...

{I can see some appliqued flowers in the borders...}

All corralled and ready to go...

This will be a Medallion block 

(frankly, I cannot believe I even attempted this applique,

and it is by no way, shape or form ;))) perfect--but it's mine own).

And now, for a bit of a different kind of sewing;

My DIL requested some of those waterproof snack bags for Willa and Fiona

 to take to Pre-school (Willa) and Kindergarten (Fiona).

Exciting times......

So, this morning I ran out to JoAnne's and got some iron-on vinyl and 

now am set with 5 different cute fabrics to 

sew 'em up....
