working away on my new stripy / floral urn-pot, it's slow going but fun

" nålepude" / "needle-cushion" #2


























made this tiny "needle-cushion" as a gift for a friend, it's filled with Canadian pine needles like the one I made a wee while ago. The lovely fabric was a present from Tina, she bought it at Skals.

////// + ///// (part 017) (NEW FLORAL)




More stripes and more flowers ; for this one I've started experimenting with some stuck-on cut-out flowers, some of them need a little tweaking before I finish the urn-pot, pretty tricky ironing things on a non-flat area (did the flowers in stages, but have to turn the whole shape in and out from time to time, which took it's toll on at least one rose)

////// + ///// (part 016) (NEW FLORAL)





This is a continuation on the floral theme started way back here (at least in 3D) which has lately led to this one here. However, this one will have a 'twist' (more to come asap) As in the pillow here, I had fun making the lines in the pattern + the roses line up. The fabric is a 2nd hand pillow case bought in Halifax.

hand-sewn patchwork pillows (part #003)




















This is a larger version of this and is made from 2nd hand remnants from this, this and this. This too, is a present for a friend : )

hand-sewn patchwork pillows (part #002)

This one too, is made from 2nd hand fabric and is a present for my aunt. The floral fabric is a lovely vintage silk remnant from an outfit my gran used to wear (I spend quite some time lining up the wee stripes in the pattern)

hand-sewn patchwork pillows (part #001)

These two quite small pillows are both made from left over 2nd hand material from some of the recent sketch urn-pots. It's been a while since I started doing "flat" patchwork, but it's still fun. Both these pillows were presents for friends.
