A Diva Denim Day

It is snowing again!  Seriously, can someone please tell Mother Nature that this is not the time to get in a fight with Mr. Snow.  Someone bring her some chocolate.

As you know I have my fabulous Diva Vest made and ready to wear.   I have already worn her to two trunk shows much to the delight of the ladies.  But I still thought she was missing something.  The back is all glammed up but the front just has spool pockets and the opening of the vest.   I decided that I should make something  beautiful, so that the Diva on the back would be proud of the Diva wearing the vest.

Here is what I made today.   Don't you just want one?  I used the Madhuri fabric again and covered the spools with it.  Sigh... so beautiful.   I am probably going to stop a lot of people in their tracks with my beauty now.   (Or they will be checking my sanity).

 And I had a little time to make these matching cuties.

Once I had my gorgeous necklace made, I dove into my denim and continued with my free motion piecing.

I have a few ideas of what I am going to do with the  blocks, but none are making me crazy with delight yet.   I figure if I keep at it, something will jump into my head.

Madhuri Is In The House

Madhuri came today!   This is The Quilted Fish's newest fabric line for Riley Blake Fabrics.   Yeppers, super awesome Amanda Herring knocked this one right out of the park.   I only have some pieces for a special surprise to be revealed at Spring Market, and then later here on my blog!

I will tell you this though, I am making a skirt for myself out of this fabric:

I do have to tell you my guilt story of the day. I was tossing out a pair of jeans and then felt so bad about not recycling them, that I pulled them back out of the garbage and brought them into my sewing room.   I still wasn't ready to cut up Madhuri, so I decided to just experiment and cut up the jeans.   I cut them into squares and then put little bits of colour into them.   

I am going to make a bunch of them, and see where it takes me.
