One of those days....

This morning I woke up and decided I was going to make this little cushion. I have a huge custom order quilt and pillowcases to make over the next couple of weeks and thought I wanted a nice little project to get me back in the groove. You see, it's been quite a while since I have actually sewn something. I realised today when looking for my safety pins and found them in the tin I took to the handmade expo in November, that it has been that long since I made a quilt. Whoa.



After lots of swearing, calls out to my crafty friends, (thank you sooo much Marg!) broken feed dogs (fixed by my handy Mister!), and countless cups of coffee, my little cushion was born. Phew. Now you can all bask in her glory (just don't look too closely at her dodgy stitching!). I think I now need a lie down!

my creative space...

This week the bunnies were absolutely doing my head in! I had to step away from them for a day and feel that little buzz you get when something you've never tried before works out well. So I grabbed some bits out of my vintage sheet stash, cut some 4inch squares, put them together in a little quilt sandwich and had a little play with some free motion quilting. Why hadn't I tried this before! So quick, so easy (once you get the rhythm) Then I turned the whole thing into a cushion. I can see a couple more of these cushions in the future, then on to a whole quilt I think. Free motion quilting, great for curing the bunny fuzzies.

More creative peeps, over here.
