Two little honey bunnies 😉

After a couple of quirky peg / clothes pin bag makes with ‘extreme wash line scenes’, I thought I’d cover all bases and throw in a couple of simpler, super cute designs too! Making good use of some lovely little buttons I bought a while back, I really like the wooden butterflies and wonder why it took me so long to start using them?!?

Little Love Birds design. Well ….Spring is in the air after all…

All hand appliqued, Fully lined, and, with a sturdy wooden hanger… perfect for little gift ideas or a treat for your own Wash Days !

‘Dillon the Dog’

Here is another of my doodle designs for hand applique.  I always like to stay original and create my own patterns. This little dog character cushion cover was created at the same time as  Cushion Covers – ‘Dennis the Dog’ – Handmade, Designed Patchwork and Quilted Cushion Cover . Whilst some of the patchwork cottons are the same the two are still quite different and definitely unique.  Once ‘Dillon’ had been hand stitched to the centre panel, coordinating border strips were added, the whole front panel was then hand quilted and matching old buttons added for decoration. Another characterful feature cushion cover!

Personalised for a christening gift

This little cushion cover has been made and personalised as a gift for an upcoming Christening present. Not only is it already unique, a simple handmade gift can be made ever more so by adding the date of birth and names to the item by hand embroidery. The design is one of my own, which I have reused for this particular gift,  though all the fabrics are different from ones used in the past, therefore no two are ever the same. The little tractor, scarecrow, sun and the crows are all hand cut from felt then hand appliquéd to the centre patchwork panel over the farm and field scene. The whole cushion cover was hand quilted in the ditches to add texture to the fields and I added little flying birds by stitching simple lines.  Recycling old buttons was a finishing touch for the scarecrows jacket, tractor and trailer wheels!

Simple Hessian shopping bags have been given a face life by adding geometric felt shapes, hand stitched to create a three dimensional feature. Whilst the bag to the left had little foam flowers, butterflies and pompoms hand stitched to it. Simple and effective!
