You may have noticed the trend with texts and messages on the walls during the last years? Keep calm and carry on, must be the most loved one. As much as I love many of these messages and how they connect with the sampler tradition I can find it a bit annoying at times to read the same texts over and over again every day. The flap quilt I made recently planted a seed and I came up with a solution to this little issue, I have put my message in disguise, or should I say "under cover" (not sure if you think that's funny, but I'm smiling :)
We've had some wonderful Spring sun as you can see, but it's still cold and we have a lot of snow so I'm doing my best to make it springy inside... So there's the flap cushion in the sofa, the colours are picked from my apple fabric, I finally got a chance to cut in it! It feels a little sad to reveal the surprise, but then again it would be like buying a pig in a poke if I didn't tell you what it says underneath the flaps, there is one word under each flap:
y o u a r e
o n t h e i n s i d e
It is made from a steady linen-cotton canvas, for the backing I used a shirt again. I also made a rectangular one from a blue shirt, it has red and white flaps. My daughter looooves this one, maybe because I loved to dress her in this colour combination when she was a little baby, who knows?
These will both be listed in the shop soon. *Done!* I am now checking out for the weekend. It will be spent with my sister, she just arrived yesterday from Switzerland with a lot of chocolate and a bunch of pretty vintage fabrics that I need to show you next week!
Let the sunshine in (my current theme song)!
