my chenille

In my last blog all I did was talk about chenille.

Chenille this that and the other. So I took a

few pics of the chenille I do have.

Its been put away for awhile in one of those

bags you suck the air out of but don't work.

Thats ok though, it did keep them dust free so

its all good. When I dumped them outta the bag

and on to the couch I was just pleased as I

could be all over again when I saw them. I

could not really get an accurate color on the

raspberry one, but its close. It is just lucious.

I just want to wrap myself up in it. Its in

great condition, no worn spots, discolored spots,

no shredding .The fringe is faded

though, but its not bad.

I am not sure what the design is. I just call it a star.

Its about a foot and a half across. Isn't it

pretty! So thick and cozy!

These are pictures of the white one.

There is a lot of discoloration on it. But nothing I can't

just cut around. The flowers are so thick and pretty.

And the colors are wonderful. The flowers are

all in great shape too, no bald spots. In fact

except for the discoloration, there is no shredding anywher.

Can we say yippee!

I really didn't do too much today. I finally broke down and

bought a "Loop Turner". I can finally turn those

little tubes of fabric with out tearing them up

and making my fingers sore. I just hope

they get it to me quick.

I am off to check out patterns for sewing with chenille.

If anyone has anything they can recommend

I would love it! I have been sewing for along time,

but I am venturing out of my safety zone of crib sheets

and bumper pads with matching blankies and lovies.

I have done one raggy quilt, and it is a raggy looking thing. Ha!

But I did my best and it really isn't bad! I will get a pic of that

next. There are a few other odds and ends I have made,

but I am finding spreading my wings so to speak

pretty exciting!!! Wish me luck!

I am thankful for and love
