WOW 1st July 2014with Esther http://www.estheraliu.blogspot.com

White and cream silk heritage quilt I started to make several years ago. Next week I will take a photo of this in the day time so you can see what it really looks like????

I have all my family home this week plus friends arriving back who I have not seen for ages so no time to really blog.  But I’m thinking of you all who are linking with Esther this week.  I will have to catch up with looking at your links next week.

Close up of the wedding silk fabric it is a very heavy embossed fabric woven on a 14inch loom by hand????? it took me a long time to join the fabric so you could not see the join unless you are up very close!!!!!

 

My first quilting lesson sample. 1990 on Tonga Is land in the South pacific

Close up at those quilting stitches that took me all 7 hrs none stop trying to make them before I found the rhythm and since them I have had a love of hand quilting ever since.

I like hiding little bits and pieces in the grounds for the grandchildren to find.

Two white china elephants have just arrived in the jungle ?????

Finally the wet has stopped and the palms are fruiting and bringing in the pigeons and fig tree birds again which is lovely.

Soft colours of these berries I love they are usually a dark red.

There were 4 large green pigeons fighting over these berries 1/2 an hour ago but by the time I got my camera they had left.

I have finally scrubbed off all the grim from the wood they are now ready for varnishing, I have recovered one of the seats, I had to wash and wash the foam to get it clean; I added some felting as well when I recovered it. When I took out the staples out of the original very very grubby stained fabric I could see it had once been a black and white flexed material ???????

 

Happy stitching every one and thank you for dropping in. Cheers Glenda
