Me Musing .
. . December
1, 2008 . . .
Tonight
in order to take my mind off the health challenges of a few friends,
I decided to move into the 'creative mode', since trying to quietly
read a book just didn't do it!
Remember
that gold wool I bought at the wonderful little fabric shop in Ashland
that I only got 1/2 yard of, and had thrown in the washer and dryer
and it shrank
a lot?????
Well
. . . in my stash I found a wonderful piece of wool that I had gotten
at the Pendleton Woolen Mills in Pendleton, Oregon a few years ago
. . . sort of a rock
art design woven on both sides. I had only gotten one
panel, which was a little over 1/2 yard, since it was really
expensive fabric!!! It had already been through the washer and dryer
routine months ago so it was all ready to go! It hadn't shrunk much
. . . actually didn't change much at all.
The
two just seemed to be meant for each other, so I got out the pattern
I had used for the steel blue corduroy/green upholstery fabric vest
and started in.
The
rock art
wool wasn't quite long enough for the front pieces, but since the
back would be the gold wool anyway, I'd just used some of it to
piece onto the fronts!
It
was hard for me to choose which side would be 'out', so I took away
the 'having to decide' by
overlapped the edges and using a small zigzag double row of stitches,
making the vest reversible!
This side was
my first pick
This side is
fun too . . .
it has more light blue in it
but in the photo the gold wool came out yellow!
I
had a little fabric leftover, so I figured I'd just make a small
bag out of it. At first it was more like a 'clutch bag' (remember
those from years ago???????!!!!!!!), then I added a short 'wrist'
handle.
The colours
in this photo came out
more orange than the bag really is.
The colour of this print is more the colour!
This is the
back.
I love the hands!
Before
I knew it, 3 hours had whizzed by
and I was relaxed
and found myself smiling,
knowing
'The GREAT HANDS'
are at work
in each of our lives.
I bow
. . .
to
Their
Wisdom.
Until
soon,
