Shabby Shades...another New Pattern!

Hello cute people!...
Did you have a nice weekend?
I hope sew:)
It's time for lots of new pictures 
and another new pattern!
"Shabby Shades"

















This quilt allowed me to embellish
to my hearts content...
I don't know about you...
but I really love a pattern that uses 
all kinds of trims and buttons:)
I even got to use crochet flowers and yo-yo's!

I embroidered the pullchain on each lamp
and on the end of each chain is
a gray crystal bead.
I used Daisy Cottage 10" squares
for the lamps and border along with the
4 solids that come in the line,
Clean White, Pewter,
Daisy Yellow and Hot Pink.
The binding is Daisy Cottage Dots in gray
cut on the bias.
I hope you like my new pattern
"Shabby Shades"
and that you want to make one
for your very own cottage:)
More to come tomorrow!
xx

    Sigh - a deep sigh - I can remember that lampshade shape when it was THE latest thing way back in the 50's/60's. I wanted my mother to change all her shades to ones like yours but she never did!
