‘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!

Taking my fabric challenge to item number three! Cushion Cover

As you can see its another handmade patchwork and quilted cushion cover, though now the fabric is getting quite diminished after the two shopping bags. The colours I chose were inspired slightly by the new range of colourful illustrations I am working on, and I must admit the outer border cotton is so soft and velvety I rushed back to the store to purchase the last remaining small piece. Even if I never use it in the future, I can always give it a quick stroke! Continuing too, with the flower button theme,  in order to recycle old buttons.

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!
