‘Poppies and Forget-me-nots’

This Watercolour picture of Poppies was done from my garden, where the Wild, Orange Poppies nestled happily within a carpet of fresh blue Forget-me-nots. The thin papery texture of the flowers allows to sunlight to almost pass through.

Is it wise to stay awake ALL night?

This is one of my unique cushion covers with an owl I designed, no two are ever the same. Maybe the buttons are different or the fabric cut to different sizes in the borders, or stars in different place, I never entirely or exactly  reproduce a handmade piece.

I hand appliquéd pieces of felt onto a navy blue spotty cotton fabric, which gives a good night time feel then added felt stars and moon. Hand quilted it simply and added old buttons for a finishing touch!

“Ahoy there Sailors”

The whole idea for this cushion arose from the jewel patterned fabric in the four corners. My first thoughts were ‘Jewels = Pirates’. So I set about drawing a sketch of Pirates on a beach looking for the famous ‘X’ and added their ship in the background. Once happy with my design, I hand appliquéd all the small pieces of cotton to the background. Coordinated the patchwork, coloured strips to the jewel fabric, and ditch quilted. One finished Pirate cushion!

Luscious lilies

Whilst I was drawing this particular still life, the thing which excited me most of all – was the shadow on the blue plant pot! It seem to give the whole picture a reality check!
