I bought this fabric last night, just love the green and purple together, though this picture the colors don't look as good as they do in person

Roger and I have been watching some old movies lately, we have seen~ Gone with the wind ( my first time for seeing it~can you believe it), Singing in the Rain~I love Gene Kelly,Sergant York with Gary Cooper, Little Women (the original one), Meet me in St. Louis I just love movies from this era, the beautiful dresses and such, Ben Hur~ This one I really like though it always bothers me when I see wise men at the manger in anything, The Ghost and Mr. chicken with Don knotts what a funny movie,
I think old movies are just so wonderful, the acting was so good compared with what you get today and the scenery and music is just so nice to see.
Tonight we plan on watching My fair lady and I of course will be embroiderying.
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend
This is something I read in the book Tramp for the Lord, by Corrie tenBoom and it really touched me, so I will leave you all with this poem
My life is but a weaving,between my
God and me,
I do not choose the colors, He worketh
Steadily
Oftimes He weaveth sorrow, and I in
Foolish pride
Forget HE sees the upper , and I
the underside.
Not till the loom is silent, and shuttles
cease to fly,
Will God unroll the canvas and
explain the reasons why.
The dark threads are as needful in
the skillfull weavers hand,
As the threads of gold and silver
in the pattern He has planned

The fabric is pretty! I've been going through a phase of liking sage green and pink together. Your colors look good together too.
ReplyDeleteI had some of the purple fabric with swirls in it. I used it as a lining for a Strawberry Shortcake totebag used for a baby shower gift bag.
The embroidery looks beautiful, too.
