New Color, New Work

I hope everyone had a lovely long holiday weekend. I know that for a lot of folks in the New Orleans area, the only thing lovely about it was that they weren't hit as hard as originally feared. Thank goodness for that, however they still got slammed pretty good, and I am keeping my fingers crossed that all future storms spare them. They have been through enough. And by the way, thanks to everyone who left such thoughtful comments on my hurricane quilt from the previous post.


We spent part of the weekend giving our kitchen a much needed paint job. I choose this pale sunny yellow color, and am delighted by how cheery the kitchen now looks. Seeing as it was on my to do list for the last 5 YEARS, (!) I am thrilled that it is finally done! Hoping to tackle the dining room next week!


And this is my latest mid-century inspired
table runner/wall hanging/art quilt, which I posted a few days ago here in my shop.


I am really enjoying designing and constructing these pieces, and am looking forward to doing more!
(But now I need to go blog hopping and catch up on everyone else's weekend!)

  1. Thank goodness New Orleans wasn't hit as hard as last time, I agree Victoria.

    I love the colour you chose for your kitchen, it's almost the same as what's in my kitchen. It does make a difference, doesn’t it!

    I absolutely love this quilt! The pink flowers definitely make it pop, I can see this sitting on my kitchen table! :D

  9. If my monitor is true, it looks like our kitchens match! (I wouldn't be surprised, either).
    Another bee-you-tee-full piece, Victoria. I love that you get on a roll with a theme and just go with it. You make it seem effortless.
