Glorious RED

I can't say I have a favourite colour....I love them all! But I do have a very strong affection for RED/MAROON/BURGUNDY.
I seem to nearly always have a smidge or a lot in all the quilts I make. If it's red it usually gets my immediate attention. I think that's why I fell so hard for French General.....those gorgeous shades of red!
And of course my team colours are perfect!
I love RED jams....
And my pretty china.

Red native blooms make me sigh...

I think it does you a world of good sometimes to ponder....."What  do I love? What  makes me smile?"
This month's Rainbow Scrap Challenge colour from Angela over at So Scrappy made me ponder my love of RED/MAROON.
The challenge this month is what to NOT choose lol!
Decisions made, my little "glorious RED" circles are ready to applique.
This past week has seen me cosied down with tissues, panadol and lemon drinks. Like many others I have been under the weather with a coldy bug that seems to have vertigo as a sidekick! Not nice! So all has come to a halt. Before the funny heads started I did get a good number of tags stitched for Ruth's Quilt.
And 3 borders worth of scallops are done on Blessings Quilt.
Last row is joined together but there is no incentive to get to it yet....the great thing about needlework is that it waits for you.
That's me caught up lovely folk. Enjoy your day.
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx

  9. Red is a wonderful colour especially in the French General fabrics. Your circles and clammies look wonderful, as do the tags. Keep up with the TLC, I hope you are feeling better soon.

  14. I hope you recover from the lurgy quickly. It seems to be affecting so many this winter. You seem to have dived in early this month with your RSC blocks. I’m waiting patiently for the next Squared Away Sampler block before I get stuck in. I like red, but maroon is not my favourite colour - blues are much better.

  16. Many angel healing hugs coming your way. Have you tried apple cider vinegar with honey and lemon juice in boiling water? It helps kill the nasty bugs. I love your borders and those circles are so, well, round LOL. I can never get mine so accurate.

  17. Oh yes all reds and Maroons are my favourite colours too Michelle, they are wonderful. Hope you're on the mend from the nasty cold bug, I woke up last Thursday with it also. My worst days were Friday and Saturday. Thankfully feeling a lot better now though. However still have a blocked up nose and head. ugggghhhh
