My
latest design is definitely made from remnants. I bought most of
these fabrics over twelve years ago to use in another quilted piece
which hangs over our back patio doors. The only new fabrics are the
grey print and green/copper stripe. I call this wall hanging Desert
Flight.
Our
main living area has a mix of antique and new oak furniture, pottery
and Indian rugs. It's comfortable and casual, just like us. I've
decorated with mostly Southwest colors of terra cotta and sage green
with black accents. I change out some of the black to cream or
lighter greens during the summer.
While
I was sewing, I whipped up a few coasters, or mug rugs, to match. I
even did some mending, took in two pairs of my jeans, and sewed on a
few loose buttons. Those are the things I usually procrastinate
about...I don't know why, they only take a few minutes to get out of
the way. Hey, do it now was another of my resolutions. Go me!
