~ from the old chair ~

This month's Fresh Modern Bee 2 blocks are designed by Allison/ Pioneer Valley Girl. She sent us great instructions and beautiful fabrics by Kate Spain with some Kona Coal. I can't get over how much I love this colour scheme, it's gorgeous don't you think?!

 

I also made this tea towel to practice Sashiko stitching. I made the design up myself based on a more tradition Sashiko design that looks like scallops {really not sure if that's the proper name for the design or not!}

 

Since this is not an all over design in the traditional Sashiko style, I could not stitch it all continuously, wich obviously shows on the back.  But who cares about the back right?!

I love the simplicity of the red crochet thread against this linen. It almost makes me want to do the dishes....almost ;-)

What did you sew this weekend?
