Immitation is the Sincerest Form of Flattery

Imitation is the Sincerest Form of Flattery ...well I hope Sheila (Blue Patch Quilter) agrees, as I have imitated a fab idea of hers!

I first saw her Mega Pinnie on  Hadley's Flying Blind blog, and fell in love - you can see why, isn't it awesome

 

(hope you are happy with me 'borrowing' your photo, Hadley xxx)

I did download Sheila's (FREE) instructions, but one of my many failings is a reluctance to follow instructions, so I grabbed some fabric

 

And got going.

I ditched the wadding, and used heavier fabric instead, I ditched the quilting, I ditched the patchwork (impatience is another failing) and in about an hour made this

 Well - an hour to stitch, and another hour to stuff!!!!!

I added a needle sheet, and a cord to hang a spool of thread on, and elastic and a short pocket for the scissors as I was running low on the fabric.  If I was making another one I might add a handle, its actually a bit difficult to move from one place to another as there is no obvious place to hold it, but I love it!

(Hope you can see  what you are looking at - photography is yet another failing!)
