Sketchbook Shelves and Kokeshi Cushion

I changed a little space in my work room to add a couple of shelves for some of my smaller sketchbooks handmade books and altered books.

I made another cushion with the other fat quarter of my Spoonflower fabric featuring kokeshi dolls. This one is a different pattern but has the same dolls featured on it. The last one was quilted but I left this one as it was. Could do with a bigger cushion pad though.

Quilted Cushion, Eggs and WIP

I've still got lots of purple pages to show but I thought I would show something different today.

I bought a fat quarter of my kokeshi doll fabric from Spoonflower and made this cushion. I didn't have the right size cushion pad so I've borrowed a couple of flatish ones from other cushions.

Before I made the cushion up I quilted around the six dolls in the centre.

I did the eggs below for a challenge - I thought it was for the Sketchbook Challenge but that seems to be 'natural surfaces' this month.  I suppose eggs are a natural surface, but mine don't look natural. My challenge now will be to find where the challenge really came from!

There was a contest with Spoonflower for painted eggs but that would need to be a repeating pattern for fabrics...... and it finished yesterday....

Work in progress......This is a heart in the making
