The show opened last night in Vienna, and all my hand sewn patchwork pillows made it there, sadly I couldn't. Maybe some other time...

- hexagonal test (sampler) urn -

Trying out a new shape of urn using hexagonal pieces. This one was made with a traditional sampler in mind; the 2nd hand fabric was selected for the drawing like patterns. It's a little more rough than the previous urns as I had to do a lot of the sewing on the exterior due to the inflexibility of the form. Might try to make a lid for it..

+ hand-sewn patchwork pillow part #012 +

last hand-sewn patchwork pillow sent off to Vienna for the show at MN*LS opening this weekend! This one too, like the previous ones, is made from an old 2nd hand table cloth.
