Lily Inspiration: Birthday Flies!

An extra special (belated) birthday surprise was hiding in today's box from Victoria: the world's most amazing, fly-covered picnic blanket! Knowing that Glenda loves picnics, blankets, picnic blankets, and all of our fly prints, Trish has sort of outdone herself with this one.

I love how all the individual flies are printed in a giant, cross-stitch-esque fly configuration (does that make it fly squared??); even more amazing is that this was printed by hand, one fly at a time! I'm sure it's only a short matter of time before Glenda starts introducing all her new little fly friends to some local ants...

Lily Home: Part two

Last week Steph blogged about a blanket I was making. I don't usually hang out in the sewing room, but last week I was pacing around the studio waiting for a phone call and started cleaning up the remnant fabric area. Yes, I am a Virgo. After cleaning I thought I would sew the scraps together and make a blanket. I made two blankets in the end, and here are the finished products.

Lily Home: Blanket in the works

When I came into the studio this morning, I noticed something that wasn't here the night before. I guess Trish has been keeping busy, (or maybe procrastinating about paperwork) and started sewing together some cotton fabric remnants to make a blanket. Looks good so far!!
