My Creative Space

I've been masquerading as a quilter this week, sitting on the couch each night, hand stitching this lovely gingham binding.

I've never handstitched a binding before, and I really didn't think I'd enjoy it. I'm usually the queen of quick and easy sewing (which definitely means sewing by machine - not by hand). But, I really surprised myself because it was enjoyable and satisfying to see every little stitch in the process.

After seeing all of Michelle's beautiful Autumn Leaf photos on Instagram, I thought it was high time that I changed my header from Summer to Autumn. I'm only about 6 weeks late...

Maybe I'd better get started on Winter now?

I only know the basics of photoshop, and I can't use illustrator at all, so I decided to ask a professional.

The very lovely and super talented Katy from What Katy Did Design interpreted what I wanted perfectly. I only provided a couple of pics as inspiration for the type of pattern that I liked, and then asked her to use a colour pallette of red, orange and pink.

I think she did a superb job! Thanks so much Katy.
