Something new...

Well hello there!!

I am still not back to normal so been busy doing other craft things other than stitching... I need I lot of concentration for stitching.  So I have been pottering about doing less taxing things!

For some time I have been working on a hexie project... A little quilted throw eventually! Here is what I have been up to with that...



Then a little coffee and cake break!


Did the trick as here is where I am now....


It's growing... Slowly but still growing.

Then Han got me this magazine yesterday...


Something different, maybe?

Kind of liked this... But to go on a pillow/cushion...


Uh huh!! Picked some fabrics.... From stash! 


Traced the design... Lol on Greece proof paper... Well it's like tracing paper! Did the job!!


And off I started!! 

I was not sure how I was going to stitch the pieces on, as in the magazine they are roughly cut and stitched similar to how I did it.  I did not want rough edges so made each shape.


Well my stitching is not the best, but I kind of like the 'rough' look... I think it adds charm! 

And the finished pillow on my sofa!! 




I am thrilled with how it turned out... Go me!! Love trying new things and this was a new thing so yipppeee! Ha ha


I hope your all well and keeping busy...lol like me! 

Big smiles to you all :)

  6. It looks great! I'm always a bit nervous to try new sewing projects because I suck at sewing lol. I need to teach myself how to use a sewing machine but haven't gotten around to it yet. Now that I'm near a few lns I may look into a class.

  7. The hexies are multiplying! The cushion looks great. You could add embroidered petals and butterflies round the flowers another time, lots of bright colours!
