i bought this gorgeous fabric at liberty of london
a few years ago, when i was actually lucky enough to be in london.
i tucked it away in my "special fabric cupboard".
my friend margie and her partner, linda
were *married* this summer.
when i saw pictures of their wedding,
i noticed their peacock feather motif.
i knew just what to do for a wee wedding gift...
i made napkins, so that whenever they use them, they will
feel our love and blessings sitting at the dinner table with them.
and i made these for hannah's table out in ohio.
cutting the fabric, pressing the edges carefully, stitching the edges...
folding, and packaging them up for the mail.
in a weird way i found myself creating order
in a totally nutso, crazy-making news cycle.
and then i moved onto another project that had stalled,
and now it's almost done.
i've recovered my center.
breathing again.
yay!!! love that fabric choice!!!
ReplyDeletecan't wait to put them on my table!

What beautiful and thoughtful gifts! I love the Liberty fabric...a friend's daughter gave me some very similar fabric many years ago when i took care of her cat while mom and daughter were in England. I hoarded it for years, used some of it in a quilted vest, and might still have a few precious scraps left.
ReplyDeleteThese napkins are so beautiful, and I totally understand your feeling of peace and orderliness when pressing and sewing. What lovely gifts!
