A Woman Obsessed ...

no, that is not me. It's my neighbour, she's obsessed with her terrasse ... and even brings out her sewing machine.



(Sneaky shot from my kitchen window)

Thanks for all your comments! Allow me to add: This woman is the resident dragon in our little development. She's quite obnoxious, actually. Consequently, I'll sew in my basement while she sews on her porch ;-)

Done - just in time ...

which is: the night before the Birthday of the Birthday Girl. And this is what a Princess Bed looks like in my house:



The whole thing ...



The top ...



The rest: notice the little dragon and mouse on the day cover?

One big step ahead!

All prepared and rearing to go ....

Other than ebaying, I spent yesterday evening cutting triangles and pinning bed linen to fleece blankets for a throw. It may not look like much at this stage but it will all come together tonight, I'm hoping:



Fabric selection for triangles: IKEA linens, left-overs gifted to me by a British quilting friend, my grand-mother's bed linen ...



Added: This is what the princess bed should look like - well, in principle at least!



It will have a quilt (see first image) and the netting (see second image). At first I wanted to rim the bottom but now I'm all focussed on those triangles at the top. Only that mine aren't that contrasting which I hope won't be a problem design-wise.
