"Sweet Peas, on tiptoe for a flight,
With wings of gentle flush, o'er delicate white." - Keats
With wings of gentle flush, o'er delicate white." - Keats
Whilst deliberating and cogitating over the fabrics for my latest picture design I came across a beautiful piece of vintage fabric with sweet peas on it. Sweet peas are one of most favourite flowers of all with their delicate petals and sweet perfume.
I thought you may like to see this most gorgeous fabric. This is the fabric that will go on two cushions for the Lloyd loom chairs that I am trying to find. As you know I have two and need
another four chairs to complete my six. I bought some new fabric that I loved and then bought some great vintage fabric from Daisy Darling stall at Bradford on Avon vintage fair....
Well I said to you all I was on the look out for four more chairs and the third fabric..... It turns out I have the fabric already! what luck and what bad stock control skills ....!!
The picture above on the right is the reminder of the other two fabrics that will be in the Lloyd loom chairs and I think all three go well together.....
Well I am so glad that I found this beautiful sweet pea fabric and now all three are safely together and have started to be cut. Today though is about getting on with the background embroidery....
So I am away to my stitchery and hope you all have a wonderful day and of course Happy Stitching!
Beautiful fabrics. I hope you find your chairs soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you! me too. I think it may be a case of scouring boot sales and antique shops. I would like to paint some of them. The two I have are painted and were bought like that. One is antique white and the other a pale duck egg.
DeleteSo wish me luck!
