Hi Everyone!
I’m finally back to normal in my studio after a trip to Scotland and having my sisters here for “Sister’s Week.”
The trip to Scotland got my creative juices going. Lots to see and lots of inspiration for quilts!
Scottish Thistle
Quilted Counterpane at the Georgian House.
You might have seen the bed curtains that accompanied this quilted bedspread on Face Book.
Bed curtains had wool embroidered flowers!
Close up of the hand embroidery and wool applique.
Of course there were other sites to see and lots of CASTLES!
Edinburgh Castle
Tile floor in the Thistle Chapel in Saint Giles Cathedral looks like a quilt.
Saint Giles was featuring a great exhibit of quilts called, “Threads Through Revelation”.
We met a kilt maker using a tailor’s thimble, like I use for all my handwork.
And what would Scotland be without a bagpiper and a man wearing a kilt?
So many more photos I could share, but time and space doesn’t allow it. I hope these pictures inspire you today!
Don’t forget, ONLY ONE MORE WEEK TO ORDER the Mariner’s Compass, Stamp Basket, or Feathered Star set of stamps. See the website to order your set before they are gone!!!
Until next time…
Happy Stitching
