fabric collage

Posted by on June 30, 2009 in stitch | 13 comments

I'm getting ready to go visit family on Thursday, so this will be quick. I decided that my laptop needed a sleeve for my travels, so I can stick it in my new little rolling carry-on, rather than lugging it around in the abnormally heavy laptop case that I usually use. I was inspired by one of my favorite Japanese Patchwork books to do a little collage-y kind of thing on linen.

I added a layer of batting and quilted it, now I just have to fold it in half and sew it up. Of course I'll share when it's all done. I picked some flowers this morning, and the lavender was positively buzzing with bees!

I also finished up the little kimono for the baby that arrived today! That story is for my sister to share, and I hope to see pictures soon.

    I have never seen stichwork like you’ve done on your laptop cover. I really like it! You have such lovely taste.
    I had a lady come by from Craig’s list to pick up some plants and she talked about how having bees this year
    really improved her garden. Have you noticed a difference yet?

    Lavender is like the hottest restaurant in town. Once every bee figures it out, that is!
    Pretty kimono! I want one that’s my size.
