This is Jenny Haskins pattern that we did on Tuesday and will be turned into a cushion for my lounge room. First we added black fabric as the applique then stitched the design. The background fabric is some cream damask. I will be using a pink fabric to finish the cushion. When I get some of the green threads I will make another cushion.
This weekend I have spent the last two days finishing Sheree's ring pillow for her Wedding in two weeks time. So have been busy and my emails have had to wait.
I had a little trouble with the satin fraying and my sewing room and me are covered in satin threads everywhere and of course my Darcy has to keep.
I have been busy the last few days making a kitchen tea present. My friends daughter who is having her kitchen tea party this coming weekend. I was making a table runner but that didn't work out. Sheree now has four cream and blue place mats. The fabric I have used is called Cavalier Gabardine and it is so lovely to work with. The pattern in the centre of the place mats we used the giga hoop on my Janome 350e.
My new toy the Janome 350E has been getting at workout the last few months. The best thing is learning how to get the embroidery patterns in the right place. The photo is of a teddy bear that I am making in the 350e class at Hobbysew. All the bits are now embroided, now comes the fun part putting the bear together but that's OK I have made furry bears before.
