Cushions and birds

The cushions are made with beige linen,and some fabric scraps.
The green is an Amy Butler fabric Gypy Caravan I think, the brown is an older Kaffe Fassett and the turquoise is a Joel Dewberry print.








This is the decoration on a quilt
made from Kaffe Fassett fabric.
It is very rich.
There are a few of these little birds embroidered on the quilt.

Blue Skies


Close-ups of the Blue Skies Quilt

It was made with 6 inch squares in shades of Mid blue and Cream and white and two inch square sewn onto each corner to form the corner triangles. Alternate squares are blue and cream.
The over all effect is of circular shapes. The pattern is called Snowball.
The border fabric is from the Sunwashed collection by Karla Eisenach of Sweetwater.

I chose the backing because it is completely different to the quilt while still retaining the blue theme

Needle cases and cushions and bags


The cushions are new I saw one in a local shop for £60, seemed a bit excessive!
Antique material?

Some wool needle cases. The only place to buy wool in the UK seeems to be Quilters Haven in Suffolk.
Ebay is another source.




pears again, a favourite motif
