Tea For Two...Day Three...My Day!

NOTE:

I am early...

we are going out of town for

the Easter weekend and not

coming back until Sunday night

and I didn't want to be late again...so I

decided to post early.

Hello!

Welcome to day three of

Tea for Two...

A special Thank you to

Mary from Needled Mom for all her hard work on

scheduling of us bloggers! (and for the extra time...)

and

Cori at Creativity Amongst Chaos who created

our beautiful vintage pattern to stitch

and of course,

our Dear Mdm Samm at Sew We Stitch who created

this hop...

You are all FANTASTIC!

Thank you for coming today...

Shall we begin?

I love all things VINTAGE,

probably because everything I grew

up with and loved then, is

NEW again now!

I wanted to try to do this pattern

a little different...

I call it Free Motion Coloring.

It started out nice enough...

I thought, this will be a breeze.

I was loving it!

Then, I realized oh...what to do with those legs.

Insert...

it was VERY LATE AT NIGHT

NEVER

MAKE DECISIONS

LATE AT NIGHT.

So...I thought,

I will just sew on another portion of it and

then go back to the legs...

But...

Then it happened.

At 2:42 AM.

Things went GREEN.

UGH.

So...of COURSE.

You need to make the skirt different too.

I think at  this point I was on CRACK.

But I KEPT SEWING.

Whatever. I had one more evening to finish.

Or I wouldn't make my DAY.



and going...

But with only about 2.5 hrs before time to get up to go to work...

OH YES>>>WORK,

I decided to Stop.



The last evening begun like this.

I just figured I would power through and see what

I could finish.

I didn't finish.

Insert...

email to Mary....

begging for another day.

Thank you Mary!

With the extension...I was able to settle down and go back to creating.

and so, that last night (Thursday) I was able to finish.



I was very excited when I found some DS Flea Market Fancy

material to finish this...

the ruffle and the back are this beautiful fabric.

Now, free motion quilting isn't easy.

I think I am BLIND now...

even with my readers...

my FOOL head was down right next to that needle and

my sweet little Janome was crawling slower

than a turtle...

but it really paid off...

I am very happy with this and

would do it again most definitely...

Just NOT ON A DEADLINE.



Thank you for joining me..

I REALLY enjoyed doing this one

and am GRATEFUL to have the

opportunity to share it...even if it was LATE.

Please join the rest of today's creations!

How ART you?
