Funny Bunny pretty in pink !!

Sew4home has some amazing projects free for you to download and have a go! My choice was this cute Funny Bunny and using only fat quarters it is economical too. Adorable!! however I did find sewing the head on trickier than explained, fidlly in fact lol but to cover any tucks accidentally made when sewing I simply added a bow.

Joyful Angels cushion/pillow

Before I start my Santa comming Wall hanging I thought it be nice to show my joyful Angels cushion which is part of a christmas gift for this year. Using gold metalic thread to enhance the halo and instrument strings and adding sead beads for buttons, this gives the fabric panel dimension. Satin stitched by hand using embrodiery thread the noses and simple knots for the eyes. Added red border fabric and then picked out the dark bloue for the cushion back, which is envelope folded for speed and ease of use when washing. Will probably go one step further and add tassles and buttons to the corners.

Happy Stitching!

Garden Song Pillow/Cushion.

Birthdays can be often difficult which is why this year I have decided to make my own!, yes out came my trusty machine . I also decided to join a sewing club and whilst broswing around , well to be honest I was mere being nosey lol , well I spotted a book sitting on the shelf that shouted out to me. The book is "Garden Song" by Nancy Havvorsen and is jammed pack with gift ideas and easy instructions too which I need.

Materials are mostly those used in the book with the exception of the4 backing which is a pretty blue floral but you have to agree it goes well. My applique stillneeds paractice but hey I am getting there albeit slow lol.

Hope you like!!

As there are many blogs now on the the internet I know youare sure to find me popping in to say hi so please take time to say hi back.
