ABOVE: I saw this beautiful quilt on Facebook recently.
The felt pieces are hand stitched. It's stunning!
I am wondering if I could do something very similar, in fabrics and felt, but machine stitched.
It is worth a try, doing just a small runner as a test.
I really love trying a new design. Might start it after I finish the fish cushions and a couple of little cross over shoulder bags.
I JUST HAD TO POST THAT.... it's just too funny.
First up for today, I'm off to Spotlight for some big buttons for the cushions.
It's now 11.35 and I'm hungry. Time to get something for an early lunch. No doubt a wrap of some sort.
6.45 pm: Yes Marlene, I have been busy!
Sorry for the lack of updates.
I have been mucking around in the sewing room, did some housework, spent time with the girls, and did some knitting.
It has been very cold in the house, so I relented and turned the heater on at 5.30, just to warm the house up a bit for the evening.
I'm like a reptile in winter, I slow down till I'm warm! We did have a lovely sunshiny day, but it was still cold.
I'm actually going to stop crafting for the evening now. I'm tired. I will just sit and watch the telly, feet up etc etc.
Catch ya tomorrow.

I truly thought you had made that flower thing. It looks like you. Especially with the border. Give it a try. A table runner, mug rug, placemat, t-shirt - something small for beginning. Even an eyeglass case with one flower!
ReplyDeleteThat quilt is absolutely stunning, hope you can do similar it’s so cheerful looking for all seasons,
ReplyDeleteCushions have come up a treat as well
Your rellie will be stoked with them
Enjoy your lovely part of the Mighty Waikato 🥝👍💯
Cheers 🥂
Very cute cushions. I say have a go at the quilt- you can do it. You must have had a busy afternoon 😊
ReplyDeleteYes, have a go at that quilt...I'm sure you could fo it your way...
ReplyDeleteIf you are making them for your booth, understand making the quilt by machine and probably fussy cutting prints to get the look. Sounds like fun.
ReplyDeleteBut I wondered if you might possibly be interested in making just one for yourself by hand, incorporating embroidery and bead work. I could see this being evening work for you. Working on one piece for many nights as a slow, very artistic, project.
