Personalised Gift Ideas

Above is another example of making a gift a little more special, by personalising it. This little patchwork and quilted handmade wall hanging has a little bunny and balloons appliquéd. I made a little pair of trousers with a little bib, embroidering the initials onto the bib as well, and a little plaid shirt and collar to go underneath. The centre panel was surrounded with soft cotton check flannel and then cotton canvas on the outer border. I added two brass rings on ribbon to hang on the wall and finished with coordinating old buttons.

Cat Napping!

This was another of my own designs for the centre panel of my patchwork pieces. (If you have been in My BAG section you will notice I have used this design for the front of one – Even though I reuse my designs they are always different and unique as I never recreate the same one twice using the same fabrics). This little cat napping is designed for those cat lovers as the little kitten is sleeping on heart cushions.  All the small pieces which create the panel are hand appliquéd as is the quilting on the cushion cover. Coordinating buttons were used for finishing touches. A cute, stylish and decorative feature for any chair or bed!

‘How “mushroom” do you need in a bag?!”

This handmade and designed shopping bag was made from green linen and cotton canvas for the main structure. Each little piece of felt has been hand appliquéd to create the overall picture on the front. On the rear of the bag is also a picture of a toadstool/mushroom which I hand embroidered and then stuffed slightly to make it three dimensional. I hand quilted, with a combination of echo and ditch quilting. Inside there is one of my multi-pocket features, a double pocket – one with a zip, and a coordinating lining of green gingham. Finally I finished off the bag with some colourful old buttons!

I reckon there is as “mushroom” as you need in this bag for a good shopping trip!!!

Perfect – Pink – Patchwork

Having accumulated quite a bit of pink cotton fabric scraps I decided to make the most of them by turning them into patchwork cushion covers. Arranged in candy stripes and little patchwork squares, I also added some preprinted heart squares to the mix as they coordinated perfectly in the grand scheme of scrap bits. As a little extra I added a little lace trim and some matching old buttons to finish off!

Still not having used all the scraps, I carried on and made another unique pink cushion cover, again trimmed with lace offcuts and old buttons. See below!

Flower Fairy Appliquéd Cushion Cover

For this patchwork cushion cover I used a variety of different materials. I first designed the centre panel flower fairy, all the tiny pieces were cut separately and hand appliquéd in place. Subsequent borders of satin ribbon, flower printed cotton, lace and then cotton satin for the outer border. After hand quilting, I then appliquéd the butterflies again by hand. Another unique piece of patchwork!

Crazy Patchwork Bag

This was another exercise in using small scraps of left over fabric. I found coordinating, deep pink, outer fabrics and added little pieces of those to the centre panel to pull the design together. On the reverse is a hand quilted design, whilst on the front it has been simply ditch quilted. The shoulder bag is approximately 17″ Sq. Internally I lined it with a plain cream cotton and added a multi pocket, one with a zip as well. There is a small loop with a magnetic clasp fastener and decorative buttons to finish off. Another unique patchwork creation!

Bob, who’s Bob?

I sketched this picture one day and thought it would make a lovely Handmade Cushion Cover Design. So I rifled about in my patchwork cotton fabrics until I found just the colours and patterns I was looking for. I hand appliquéd all the pieces to the centre panel then added some old buttons for eyes and air bubble effects. Then Hand stitched echo quilting on the centre panel and ditched quilted the patchwork seams.

I was really please with the finished decorative designed cushion cover!
