A visit from two Sylvie's

on a boring monday.
They should do this more often, we had a dangling afternoon , talking about daily stuff but more on quilting and knitting and a zest of crochet as you see.
Because one of the Sylvie's is the serial quilter-knitter-embroiderer and so much more.
She told us she collected the sweet wool from HABU in NY city....
And the other Sylvie fell in Love with recent Quiltbooks.




With their help i've chosen this fabric from Braquenié for the hexagons : it's from Braquenié , and it came from out of the boxes , i like it , elegant and delicate ,  balanced too....

Last but not least, thank you for the very interresting comments ont my last posting, my final choice will be a very small and clear sashing with probably a red corner square .
Marie Claude had a very important question ; DO I STILL FIND NICE FABRICS AT THE MAR
CHE ST. PIERRE ????
Yes , i do MC, and if the rue de Steinkerque is abandoned to ugly souvenirstores and made-in-china ,other fabricstores get more interresting , come and we'll go together.....
Hold on to quilting  my friends , untill later,
Will V in Paris
