That lovely post Christmas lull has found us...I was a bit worried that I had missed it!
So I was able to find my way back to the pile of WIP's sitting near my chair, and find something fun to do!
This is stage one of a Hexagon embellished cushion cover...a purchase from Material Obsession on my recent visit. I love hexies and it was fun to fiddle with it last night. I think the bottom row of hexies will be placed straight as they do draw the eye a bit! It came in a little box with everything but thread & the cushion insert...pattern, needle, glue stick, papers, clip for hexie holding & gorgeous ribbon to trim the back as well as the fabric in your choice of contemporary, pretty or festive!
This lovely book was a gift for Christmas...I am loving it!
I made four of these little bags, from Anni's book, as presents...but forgot to take pics...oops! I will try & get them back for a photo shoot as they are all different colours & designs to suit their recipients. This one was inspired by a cute pattern of Stephanie's called Sugar Baby...I love Dresdens!
More tomorrow...

ReplyDeleteLove the bag! ...the post Christmas lull is well and truly here for me....loving every minute of it! Might try and get back to something other than reading/eating/sleeping/jigsaw-ing in the next few days..it's going to be around 40C the next few days so I won't be venturing too far from home. Happy New Year to you and yours!
ReplyDeleteLove the way you adapted that bag. I am impressed that you made so many because I found it a bit of a struggle (but worth the effort). Have fun getting back to your 'regular' stitching.
ReplyDeleteThat bag is so neat!! I love the fabrics. Great fabrics for the hexies, too!
ReplyDeleteDarling little dresden bag. :o) Very sweet fabric choice.
ReplyDeleteI like that bag too! Curious to see how the cushion looks all put together. I've been thinking about cushions lately as I want to make some for a friend's new house.
