Linen and Shot Cottons

I really liked this when I started.
It was all pretty and each block made a little story.
I used Kaffe shot cottons and Kokka's Heather Ross designs.
But when it came to putting it together it became a bit messy.


Overall, I guess it's okay.
Sons no1 & 3 said they liked it which is surprising because they really don't notice much except the TV and their food. They said it without me even asking! Maybe because it was on the dining room floor all day and they had to tread carefully around it to get from the TV to the kitchen.
It is really big. A full single bed I think. I might send it to be quilted because I didn't pin it or anything which means it probably won't stretch flat. The shot cotton and the linen is very mobile.
A happy few hours were spent sewing and that is just what I needed this weekend.

  2. I love it!! It's an exciting combination of colors and rectangles all fitting together. I could look at it for hours, discovering lots of hidden treasures, I'm sure.

  8. When I originally commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now each time a
    comment is added I get three e-mails with the same comment.
    Is there any way you can remove me from that service?
    Thanks!

  9. At this time it seems like Wordpress is the best blogging platform out there right now.
    (from what I've read) Is that what you are using on your blog?

  11. I seldom leave a response, but i did some searching and wound up here "Linen and Shot Cottons".

    And I actually do have 2 questions for you if you
    tend not to mind. Is it just me or does it seem like some of the remarks
    look like left by brain dead people? :-P And, if you are writing at other places, I'd like to follow everything fresh you have to post. Would you make a list of every one of all your communal sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?

  13. I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the layout of your website?
    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more
    in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
    Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two images.
    Maybe you could space it out better?

  15. With havin so much written content do you ever run into any
    issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My site
    has a lot of unique content I've either created myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my authorization. Do you know any ways to help reduce content from being stolen? I'd definitely appreciate it.
