Now for some selfish sewing! This year has been a really great year for me and Down Grapevine Lane - I’ve been so busy on the ‘business’ side of things - illustrating two new fabric lines, working on my new book, launching my quilt pattern series, sewing magazine commissions, collaborations, and so on and so forth. But a few weeks ago I realised I don’t sew for pleasure anymore! And the never ending quest to come up with something ‘original’. You know what? I just made this simple square patchwork scrappy cushion 'just because' - and it felt so good!
I wavy quilted the cushion front in Aurifil Pink 2410 (50wt), added a sweet little Zakka tag, and bound with bias gingham. So pleased with how it looks on my sofa in our living room.
Wishing you all a lovely holiday season and happy and healthy new year in 2018. The wreath in this image is a free embroidery pattern from my Tutorials section - you can download it here. Happy Holidays!
Thank you so very much for signing my book and the gifts included. I just wanted to say that not only do I spend a lot of time enjoying your blogs, your patterns, fabric etc. You now have to very special little girls who adore your book. So I have bought them both their own copies. My 9 & 7 y.o granddaughters Zianna Grace and Ruby Rose spend a lot of time with me. They have their own machine and workstation and they are even designing doll clothes. So thank you for the joy and happiness you bring and the special time that we share quietly lost our projects. Have a wonderful happy new year to you and your loved ones x

ReplyDeleteKeep posting the good work. Some really helpful information in there. Bookmarked. It is the right time to look at a fantastic read regarding bed pillows in different categories.
ReplyDeleteI like design of these pillows. I think they could be used in different interiors and rooms. This design is really for multipurpose usage and you won't be wrong to apply it. I saw a lot of variants of its application among reviews of jetwriters .
