Great fabric choices! I am going to do something similar but will use muslim for backing instead of batting - decrease the bulk

[@DottyBeeVintage]

Thanks Terri, I’m hoping it’s not going to be too bulky, but wanted the quilted feeling - good luck with yours 😊

[@DottyBeeVintage]

[@judyantczak8180]

that red & white French fabric made my mouth water!!!

[@DottyBeeVintage]

Thanks Judy ❤️🤍💙

Just love this. I was sorting out materials this afternoon, and what you have laid out is perfect for what i want to do. I was thinking of winding cottons on to sewing machine bobbins so they wouldn't be as thick as a whole reel. I hope you heard me shouting out my approval (and disapproval) of the fabrics as you were choosing them. Thank you so much for sharing. From New Zealand. ❤.

[@andreamurphy7223]

I'm from NZ too...

[@DottyBeeVintage]

Hi Dianne, thanks for your lovely comments, I wish I could have heard you as I needed some guidance - that’s a good idea with the smaller reels 🌸

[@LisaLisa-zl9vu]

This will be beautiful! I will be following this project for sure!

[@DottyBeeVintage]

Thank you so much Lisa 🌸

[@cindyburst]

I can’t believe how much you remind me of Andrea at Artie Mays! You guys must be related!

[@DottyBeeVintage]

Hi Cindy, tell me more about Artie Mays, where can I find her - I’ve just had a quick look on KZbin and Instagram and can’t see her? 🌸

[@sharonallan3194]

[@DottyBeeVintage]

Thanks so much Collen 🌸

[@judyantczak8180]

just LOVING this project

[@DottyBeeVintage]

Thank you so much 🌸

[@my7babies]

Love the colors and fabric choices. I made one recently and instead of the whole roll of thread I used several bobbins that were wound with different threads. I used elastic to attach. I love the button idea. Also you might want to take the batting out because it gets really thick once you add your items to it.

[@DottyBeeVintage]

Thanks so much- I like the bobbin idea 🌸

[@AprilRoseNW]

Brilliant idea with machine bobbins. !

[@ellymd188]

[@DottyBeeVintage]

[@DottyBeeVintage]

Thanks so much Judy 🌸

[@artyfartyannie]

Ah choices choices, I had to chuckle watching you dither between all the gorgeous possibilities in front of you, I would have been just the same Sally - love the ones you settled on, they work perfectly, this is a really beautiful project :)

[@DottyBeeVintage]

Thanks so much Annie -,I love to dither, it’s such an important part of the design process haha 🌸

[@karenwatchorn9233]

[@patvalenzuela5105]

I t will be beautiful. I did this today also. We will see how they turn out. Thanks for sharing.😊

[@DottyBeeVintage]

I’m so enjoying this project - good luck with yours too! 🌸

[@apronhugsingreeenbay]

Love the thread holder idea!😊

[@DottyBeeVintage]

Thanks so much 🌸

[@lucy7b]

So many ideas, thank you.

[@DottyBeeVintage]

Thanks Lucy 🌸

[@andreamurphy7223]

I love your choices. Why don't you make a thin strip of the green gingham to thread your cottons on. It would be a repeat but look nice... just an idea.

[@DottyBeeVintage]

Oh, that’s such a good idea Andrea, I also have some gingham ribbon, perhaps that would work - I shall have a look 🌸

[@user-vc3ks5ii9r]

Beautiful fabrics you use 😍😍😍

[@DottyBeeVintage]

Thank you so much 🌸

[@sbarton291]

You find some gorgeous fabrics, even in pass projects your selection is beautiful. How do you search for these, upholstery fabrics - remnants - home decorator ?? Thank you and looking forward to this one.

[@DottyBeeVintage]

Thank you - I’m always on the lookout for lovely fabrics, I like to shop at antiques, vintage shops, charity shops, car boot and flea markets and eBay is a great source too, search for vintage fabrics, curtains, vintage linen 😊

[@marthamanigross]

Sally, wonderful fabric choices. Looking forward to seeing how it all comes about. The cover fabric is so pretty, I wouldn’t Kantha stitch it - but maybe embellish the beauty of it some other way. Sorry you had such a stressful week. Hope things improve for you. All the brain power you had to use to figure that all out wore my brain out! 😂

[@DottyBeeVintage]

Thank you so much Martha - yes, I’m agreeing with you, I’m not going to kantha stitch, I think it’ll detract from the beauty of the fabric x

[@patriciapage7197]

This one is a challenge I can’t make up my mind what fabrics to use , hoping to start on mine over the weekend. I’m not looking at anymore photos on Pinterest or watching loads of videos on KZbin sticking to ladies I’m already subbed to making these … lol … 8 of you making them so far . Sally can you tell what those small pins are called again please . TFS xxxxx

[@DottyBeeVintage]

Hi Pat, I’ve been looking at the pics on Pinterest and got sucked in for ages good hour - I’m please with the progress so far an looking forward to get stitching now. The pins are Clover applique pins, I ordered mine from eBay about £6 I think - thanks Sally 🌸

[@patriciapage7197]

@@DottyBeeVintage thank you Sally xxx

[@lucy7b]

I think you’ll have to take it all off kantha stitch then put it all back again. Fabulous design.

[@DottyBeeVintage]

I was wondering that - I just need to get my head around what process goes first and I’m sure all the rest will fall into place (fingers crossed!) 🌸
