Dear Girls,
I am happy I had finished the center block, the block of July!
The mobile pictures with flash don't do justice with the true colours at all (grrr....), in real all the colours are so fresh and breathing, but we are traveling for a holiday and I chose not to wait another week with updating my journey and risk some whip scars on my back (you know it is still the season of bikinis and beach wear, how would that look:-))) Maybe I will update this post later with new pics.
I really enjoyed making this center piece. I covered the fabric of the vase with an antique hand-made lace to make it more like me (I am in love with all kinds of ribbons, silks, laces of antique needleworks:-)))
I was watching seasons of Aussie Ladette to Lady on youtube, this was the background "theme" this time:-)))
I wish you a wonderful August with lots of holiday time!:-)
Hugs,
Maja

So Beautiful Maja .... Enjoy the rest of your holiday :)))
Your centre block is so pretty and a lovely idea to use the lace.
And I'm glad we wont have to give you any scars!!
Just love your colours ,beautiful.
And scars on your back would not look nice on a bikini body .. he he ..
Big hugs Diddles
Looking beautiful Maja, lovely colours. Suze x
lol..whip marks on your back would definitely not look good.....especially at the beach........
funny how a flash can make things look so different..........well done and enjoy the rest of your holiday.....
Maja, your block looks so beautiful. I really like your soft colors. Happy stitching!
Lovely !!
