First off I would like to thank every blogger who linked upwith TGIFF on friday. It was fun hosting the party.
I've had a great week in my sewing room - getting a lot more done than normal.
I decided to make some work to go in my Etsy shop, so I started with mug rugs, like the ones I made to sell in aid of Dementia UK.
This is a set of 4 in bright colourful fabrics.
These measure 4 1/2" x 8 1/2" - just a nice size.
I decorated these ones with a little Suffolk puff flower.
It's Mother's day here in the UK today so I thought I'd make Mum a little mini wall hanging.
I used the same method as the bigger wall hanging but changed the colour schem to match Mum's living room.
( She has a pink settee!)
It was a lovely sunny day yesterday and I managed to get some really good photos which show up the quilting.
Close up of flowers. You know it's funny becasue I showed this to my twin brother who is a tattooist and he asked me where I got the design for the flowers. I told him ' out of my head - I made them up'. He said he'd been working on flowers ( that he designed) practically the same, even down to the little ring of circles in the flower center - on a customer that day! Isn't that spooky ? - must be our twin thing again!
Anyway, back to the close ups :
I'll take this up to Mum later on when I go and visit.
Today I'm going to make a pyjama case, which is a request from my youngest daughter and later this week I'm planning on finishing a quilt top I've been working on. so I'll leave you with a sneaky peek at that.
Have a good week everyone.
Rhianon.
