I don't often promote items for sale in my shop here on the blog. I like to talk about other stuff too much! But, every once in a while you have to say a little something & pray for a sale or two to help pay down the credit card, ya know? So today, I'm gonna share with you the newest item in my shop - the Color Me Hopeful mini quilt!
I've been so inspired by the other Hope quilts that I thought I might make a series of them for the shop. I made this one a touch bigger than the small original - 18x 26 inches. I machine pieced it, and then hand quilted it in matching colors around each of the letters. I also hand bound it in Kona Espresso so it would have a nice 'framed' look.
Nine happy hours of work went into this little bit of Hope. I stayed up late to finish the top because I Just. Could. Not. Stop.I love projects that are like that. The loving it too much to quit projects. I watched an odd Irish? movie called Ondine while quilting it. The actors talked so low we kept having to go back to figure out what they said. Then watched a British comedy called The IT Crowd while binding it - and laughed! It reminded me of Big Bang Theory. Color Me Hopeful was a joy to work on & it wil be a joy to pass on to someone who could use a bit of Hope in their life.
