::Making It Right::

October 18, 2009 By Katie

COVENTRY.COMF.FNL

When I contributed my photos and bio to Amy Butler’s Inspiration Gallery included in her new software, I wasn’t expecting such generosity on her end.

One of the samples I’ve been waiting for has been her organic line of sheets that she designed for Welspun.  The company producing the sheets has some problems keeping track of things on their end, and after much patient waiting (and I admit it, some nagging) I received my samples.  The blue and green couldn’t be any more fitting for my home.

But wait, I got Pink and Orange…and in Full…so no review based on how they look on any of the beds in our home.

I need my Irish Sister-in-Law flown in to iron them.  There is beautiful edging all around the duvet.  My favorite bit, besides the organic softness of 400 thread count is that the duvet is reversible.

So let’s just pretend this is my incredibly clean home, and my Sister-In-Law had flown 13 hours to iron my sheets and her pajamas (I caught her doing this once) before she climbed in for a slumber.

My plan now is to cut them into bits and make the Bento Box Quilt in orange and pink.  How perfect, I have backing, binding and some to add to the quilt top.

Yeah, I’ll get right on that.

    I LOVE orange and pink. That is going to look lovely! (I also love blue and green – can’t go wrong either way).

    The pink and orange looks good too but something about the blue just really makes the room pop.

    You know what I’m loving in the blue and green room? That lamp! That gorgeous, long necked turquoise lamp.

    Your duvet will make a great summery quilt, I could see it on the back of your sofa. Wouldn’t it be great with some of that coral carolina chambray?

    Wow, what a lovely bit of post! The green and blue is gorgeous, but I’m loving the orange and pink. Can’t wait to see your bento box quilt. 🙂

    Those sheets are really pretty! Too bad you didn’t get the green & blue, but I think the orange & pink will be lovely cut up 🙂

    that quilt will be great…how does sheeting work in quilting though…is it the same as it is cotton?

    i love cotton for sheets but do not have any as cannot take the ironing!
