The lovely Tara from Crafty Church came to play today. She brought this panel she had made at a class where she learnt to draw and write with a sewing machine, and we turned it into a cushion
While Tara was sewing her projects I was cutting t-shirts to size for a T-shirt quilt for a customer. I wanted (needed) a quilters square 15 inches square, but don’t have one and couldn't find one to buy - so I butted a 12.5” square to a 2.5” ruler and topped them off with an over lapping 4” ruler: worked a dream and no duct tape residue when I pulled it all off!
This cushion is going to be gifted with a pack of fabric pens so it can coloured in - put to add to the pizazz Tara wanted to add bright pom-poms. . . It was a fair amount of flaffing to get it right but doesn't it look great
Come on Tara - show us how chuffed you are!!!
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
I love the cushions. Great job on making the ruler, very clever x
ReplyDeleteVery ingenious ruler. I have 16.5 you could have borrowed! 😄 I love that pom-poms are back too. I made some for a blanket and they’re so cute.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you both had a lot of fun there Benta, and isn't necessity always the mother of invention :)
ReplyDeleteTara is right to be chuffed. Those cushions look great and your ruler improvisation is a very good idea :)
