Can you blame me? Isn't this just wonderful! You would have stolen it too, right? Tell me you would...
I went back again and again to look at it. Those strips - a jelly roll would be perfect. The colors - Moda's Maison de Garance would be the perfect colors. Could I do it? Just take it and run with it...or sew with it as the case may be.
In the words of the famous comedian Flip Wilson...the devil made me do it. :)
To Madame Samm (it was her blog I saw it on) please forgive me for my thievery and thank you for understanding my weakness. :)
LOL
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteI'd steal it too if I could quilt! Love your color choices. Happy New Year Marlene...wishing you health and happiness!
ReplyDeleteMarlene it's beautiful! I need to go look at that again. Happy New Year to you!
ReplyDeleteOh that is so cool. not that it was stolen, but borrowed!
ReplyDeleteI say, it was in the interest of manicuring your stash, so Madame Samm will forgive you! Beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteAw common ... you borrowed the idea and improved on it.
ReplyDeleteI saw that too..I don't ordinarily work with silk, but wouldn't that look good all silky for evening wear!
ReplyDeleteI won't tell that one of my friends 'stole' something! It's gorgeous!! Bet you aren't the only one stealing it.

Oh my, how beautiful Marlene. You are so talented! I'm sure you are forgiven! Happy New Year! xxoo
ReplyDeleteThat looks most exquisite. Even I have fallen in love with it.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a very happy and blessed New year!
LOL - I looked at it, I wrote down the instructions and saved the photo!! I'm guilty - I just haven't made it yet. How wide did you make yours and does it extend to at least the middle of your back?

Love it-Love it-Love it!!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you and may you have many quilty projects ahead!
Don't really think that is a jailable offense, I remember something about that being the sincerest form of flattery.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy.
LOL, you did a beautiful job!! What a great idea it is too. Will make great gifts!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visitng my blog and your kind words of encouragement.
ReplyDeleteLOL - who among us has not done exactly that? Your finished work was beautiful. I, too, am interested in the measurements (and what did you use for backing and batting).
ReplyDeleteHugs - Marie
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteImitation is the biggest form of flattery!
ReplyDeleteI know you know, Marlene, I'm not a quilter. Instead, I honor the fiber arts by spinning, knitting and a little sewing. But I love the shawl! It is indeed beautiful. In sharing some conversation with a dear friend the other day, she mentioned that though many aspire to knitting a shawl, most women turn away because they say they would never wear it. But that she had read on a website about the fact that women the world over used to "wear" shawls when they went to the mailbox, when they just needed a light wrap to run out and check something...these women of history, made shawls an everyday part of their lives....so it need not be something that decorates the shelf. Instead, we need to adopt shawls as integral parts of the way we live...in order to have the multiple pleasures of wearing them. And when they "wear out" we can always make another.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your infusions of joy, Marlene! You're simply wonderful!

Ahhh - I may turn into a thief also. It gives me ideas for quilting prayer shawls instead of crocheting them. Our prayer shawl group has completed and presented 40 shawls since we started less than a year ago. This would be a nice change.
ReplyDeleteWell, if this ir first theft, ys youou're sure doing a lot better than me! It's a great idea and I might steal it oo :)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you!!
p.s. I remember Flip well and wish he was still on TV
Oh this is absolutely gorgeous. You are forgiven. If I steal it will you forgive me? lol
ReplyDeleteI don't blame you at all. It is lovely and I am sure you won't be the only one??
ReplyDeleteMaggey
Hmmm! Think I may have to steal (borrow) this idea also.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great shawl, Marlene! .....even though you did get a little grabby....LOLOLOLOL! I love it....You always do such a perfect job. The colors are fabulous.
