Patchwork cushion

This is the last cushion completed for Christmas. It was requested by Djuna as a gift for her mum. she has been re-decorating her lounge so we picked out colours that would compliment her decor we hope she will be pleased with it.

Baby Girl

There seems to be a lot of girl power around at the moment, Marie has requested another cushion for a family member who has recently had a baby girl and by coincidence has been named "Freya Elise". I went with a dusty lilac theme and a single jumping bunny, with a quilted back ground!!


Little Bird

Another completed commission by Sarah this time, for her 2 boys to give "Nanny" as a Christmas present. she wasn't sure what she wanted, but said that her lounge was a teal colour with silver, and she lives by the sea. I found it difficult to be inspired by the nautical theme without it looking too masculine, and after being inspired by my searches adapted the final design! I have used a silver thread through the curly design and added the pink to give a good contrast with a patterned piping that picks out all the colours!

Christmas Sacks!

a request from Angela to make some Sacks for Christmas for her and husband Keith who were married at the end of September. Her request was to have "Mr" on one and "Mrs" on the other and to include the year they were married 2012. I have kept them in a classic sack colour which is a cotton/linen mix and lined them with a dark green to give them body, and used felt for the letters and numbers blanket stitched on. Finished off with red and white spot trim and casing for draw string and I found some lovely Xmas decoration bells for the end of draw string to give that festive finish, hopefully they will get used for many Christmases to come!

Another finished cushion which has been requested as a Christmas gift for another special "Nanny". I hope she is pleased with it when she receives it over Christmas!

I have included some beadwork around the bow and hearts in the corners.

Baby Girl Bunnies

Another new baby girl cushion using the bunnies motifs again, I used flower fabrics this time which gives it a different look. Also still had some of the handprint fabric left which is ideal for the back of the cushion.
