Since Saturday morning, the machine has whizzed and whizzed and whizzed. I gave my first handmade gift today which went down really well, hope these will be as successful!
Cushion for Gran, using Cath Kidston fabric from IKEA - thanks to Lucy for the zip help!
Front of Gran's cushion, from my Aneela Hoey class.
One of the many scarves - unfortunately this was the only one which managed to be circular, the rest were too short, booo.
Next, a table runner for one Mum (spot the farrrrr too puffy wadding, that made quilting a nightmare! Had to do the inside-out-envelope jobby rather than binding it due to this too)
It looks like it should be on the end of a bed!
Here's the other table runner - the observant of you may notice that it actually looks more like two table mats....
I was intending to use the HST BOF from Blossom Heart Quilts, but I really ran out of time and energy so went with the stars instead - fewer seams to deal with!
Right, back to hiding in my ostrich hole until Thursday, when the great Xmas migration begins!
PS - How cool is this little dude who arrived in one of my cards?!?
Isn't it lovely when a handmade gift is appreciated? Your cushion is lovely and I can sympathise with your problems with the puffy wadding, it is a nightmare to work with!
ReplyDeleteYour cushion looks awesome and I adore that stitching! Table runners look fab too :) and the scarf is so pretty!
