been a bit hit & miss lately, not much crafting, gardening, bag making or blogging but i have been hording...fabric that is, for special little projects.the reason, well i have grown the most beautiful belly bump...long awaited & desperately cherished. i'm not going to make this a bump diary but i thought i might warn you that my crafting has taken a slightly different angle, which may already be apparent.
the first project i wanted to accomplish was a quilt, hence the 'pretending to make a quilt'. a quilt has conotations of warmth, coziness, security & can be cherished for quite some time. white, probably wasn't the most appropriate colour but the crispness against the organic cotton/hemp of lara cameron's design was irresistable. i'm still working on it as i just can't find the right binding. i want something linen looking or even hemp but the only hemp i can get my hands on is rigid & hard to work with as binding.
i'm not really into pastels or commercial prints & the excitement of discovering so many gorgeous locally designed prints available online certainly hasn't been resisted. so now i can let you into my new crafting world, i'm looking forward to the journey!!

Wow! Congratulations!!
Have you checked the supplies section on etsy for linen binding?
Or if you are able to purchase wholesale check out www.hempwa.com as they have a great range of hemp and hemp blend fabrics... there might be something suitable for binding.
Thanks Danielle...I'll go hunting now. I'm getting very anxious to finish it. I sit down to watch TV & it stares back at me saying...'finish me!'
