Winning - and cushions

I was recently lucky enough to win a giveaway on Threadbias, and what a wonderful collection of fabrics came in the post. A fat eighth set of S'more Love by Cosmo Cricket. I have no idea what I'm going to do with it yet, apart from look at it and enjoy it.



This is a pretty dreadful photograph, but better than nothing. I'll try and get a better picture soon.

So, many thanks to Threadbias.

My City and Guilds course is nearly finished now and I suppose it was inevitable that after a quite intensive two years I should be getting a bit 'demob happy'. I really didn't want to do the tasks I was supposed to be doing so I made three cushions for upcoming celebrations instead of working.


I made this lovely owl cushion for my elder son's partner who has a birthday coming up soon.

These two are for some friends who have recently got married.

The patterns are all from Bustle & Sew

There seems to be a lot of owl fabric available now. Different looks to them all. I like the pillow you made using an owl print.
