sparrow border...

 This is left side border of sparrow quilt.
This is right side.
I was very fun, machine applique is new challenge.
but....

 

Uh-oh.
I made a bad miss.
blew it!!
too long one side  , too short the other side.Oops!

スズメの両サイドのボーダーです。夢中でつなげていたら、ずれてたー(涙)
新しいことに挑戦、ってことでいろいろ本を見て
いつものアップリケや刺繍をミシンでやってみることに。
フリーモーションの練習にもなりました。
↓の本が これに取り掛かる前にじっくり見た(ほとんど読んでない・笑)
本です。どれもすごく気に入っている本ですが、前田順子さんのキルトは
以前に雑誌の特集で見たことがあって、それ以来とても気になるキルトです。
色あわせとか きっちり四角くないところがすごく好き。
最近、パソコンからしか作品など見てなかったので、時にはゆったりソファーに腰掛けて
まったり本を見るのもいいものね~と思ったのでした。

げっ!ずれたのどうしよう・・・・・あ”-もうっ!!!!

Before I made this border, I sew some books to get something nice idea.

from the top
Sugiura Sayaka 
How to make Scrap Book
this is not about sewing but I love her illustrations, off course very interested book contents, about her daily life etc.
I borrowed this illustration of window!

next is 
Aoki Kazuko
Fusigina needle work
this is about embroidery, her unique ideas ,using many kinds of materials,technique etc.very very worthy book. So beautiful works.

 next is 
Kajsa Wilman
ScandinavianStitches
this book is,you already know?,so cute applique!
I want to make all things on this.
And I got many great tips of free motion stitch .
Love this!

 and last one is 
Maeda Jyunko
Kirameku momi no koukyoukyoku(=symphony)
this is just about quilt using her family's old Kimono.
Lots of beautiful quilts!
just sigh!
How beautiful, modern!

Recently I can get so many great inspirations from computer
that's very nice easy convenience, but once in a while this what on the  cozy sofa having coffee, turn the pages slowly is very nice,isn't it?.

And different styles on the quilting-really useful when you are doing plans för the next quilts.The last quilt is so much art and it would be great to do something like that.I'm very traditonal but sometimes I make a jump into the unknown and not so predictible.
Wish you a nive evening
