I hadn't really done any since Dad came out of hospital so I was pleased to be at them again.
Something else I've been working on lately; this photo below shows the Christmas present my niece organised for me on behalf of her family (a lovely little hamper filled with yummy edible treats). She wrapped it up in fabric, and as she handed it to me she suggested I might like to make her a cushion from it......
So here it is!! |

So, Merry belated Christmas Sarah!! Hope you like it!!!
A couple of posts ago I showed a few of Mum's embroidery works, and some sheep doorstops I had made.
ED suggested that I may like to show 'Pounce' who also lives down here at Mum and Dad's.
What's special about Pounce is that ED made it (when she was 16??)(or was she younger??) as a gift for Granny and Pop.

As you can see, I'm keeping out of mischief. I am thinking of my Queensland bloggy friends and planning my New Beginnings Sewing Kit as requested by the Gum Tree girls. If you haven't seen their plea for help, please go to the link.
Happy stitching everyone,
Hi Raewyn
ReplyDeleteLovely flowers for your garden and a fabulous cushion..They all look great...Kate xxx
You have been very busy and I think you have done a great job making your hexies.
ReplyDeleteI love the fabric your present was wrapped in - I think I would have had to make 2 cushions so I could keep one myself.
ReplyDeleteWonderful hexie flowers! I really like the cushion you made!!
ReplyDeleteYou have been very busy and still managed to make two lovely flowers. LOVE the pillow and Pounce is so cute!

Your cushion looks good!! Sarah will be happy. Do you want to make me a couple of cushions in some bright colour that matches my quilt?? :) Nice to see young Pounce.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful flowers! I'm still struggling to get my ONE made on Wednesday. And you are so busy with your farm and family. It's amazing that you manage to get so much done.
ReplyDeleteWhat a busy life you have! Nice you could make those lovely flowers. The cushion is really beatiful and Pounce is so cute!
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Cisca
Cute flowers...and Pounce is adorable!
ReplyDeleteYour hexies look lovely. Pretty fabrics you've used. I guess that will become a nice garden.

I am having fun with the hexies too. Cute little flowers you got done!
ReplyDeleteCute blooms! And I love your niece's idea - giving your good treat and getting some nice return back!! What a smart girl she is!
ReplyDeleteOh dear, it is Wednesday already. I do want to start working on my hexagon flowers again after a long break. Seeing yours, I get inspired again.
