Why, did it take so long to share it though? Well, that is because there was the small matter of a publishing deadline to meet!
This is my first ever project to be published, and not just anywhere either, but in the fabulous ezine, Fat Quarterly. Issue 18 is all about Zakka, creating items that are cute, practical and fun and I am in some illustrious company I can tell you :) With a beautiful fabric basket, charming clock and a tasteful tablecloth being just some of the great projects to pick from there is something in the issue for everyone.
So, if you are looking to add a little Zakka style to your stitching you should definitely check out the current issue of Fat Quarterly
With several other vintage traycloths lurking in my cupboard and a jewellery roll of my own that has definitely seen better days, I think I might just have to make another one for myself now too.

Fiona! CONGRATULATIONS! Wow that's big news - you must be on cloud 9 - can you even sit still yet? LOL! The jewellery roll is beautiful - your future DIL is very lucky (and very happy, I'm sure) :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't managed to fondle any Liberty Lawn yet - one of these days, though :) You need to put a special button on your sidebar now, so people will see it and *click* as they read other posts too :)
I was so happy to see your first project in Fat Quarterly with my first Fat Quarterly project. I love the jewelry roll and am planning to make one for me.
ReplyDeleteOh wow Fiona - many many congratulations. What a gorgeous present for your lucky new daughter-in-law :-)
ReplyDeletecute and useful. congratulations on being published.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being published. You totally deserve it. Your project is beautiful. And such a great idea to give the vintage linen a second life into something useful rather than just being stored.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being published - that is exciting :) I adore Liberty too and matching it with linnen is a great idea.
ReplyDeletesuch a very pretty jewellery pouch. Congratulations on your design in the magazine, wondering what Zakka is will google it after catching up on blogs

ReplyDeleteVery exciting news that you have a project in Fat Quarterly!!! Beautiful jewelry roll and I absolutely agree that Liberty and linen are a match made in heaven!! The embroidery on the front of the roll is beautiful too!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on having your design in Fat Quarterly, and what a great design it is too. I love how you have repurposed the embroidered linen. I have several finished and unfinished pieces that I have either made or inherited over the years and as I really don't use table linen any more I will definitely have to look into repurposing them so they are enjoyed and used for many more years.
ReplyDeletewow, congratulations! Don't forget me now you're famous!
ReplyDeleteWhat an exciting post, I love 'rescued' antique linens and this is a gorgeous make. Congratulations on being published - Clever you x
