Patchwork Angel

WAS SHABBY NOW RATHER CHIC!

This I am ashamed to say is my very favorite footstool!

Yes, SHABBY  to say the least. My Mum, Jill found this at a local op shop and it has served us very well. Especially when hubby, Chuck had his knee replacement. BUT, it really was beyond it so I brought home some Moda fabric from the shop and  2 hours later Voila!!!

Think I will now make some cushions to match too!

Oh in this pic Tess our rather old lady ( one of our 3 dogs) decided she should pose with the new footstool!

While on the track of thinking outside the square. I have a canvas above our bed. Every now and then I get sick of the fabric covering it and bring home something new.

Here's the new look canvas.

I think it looks good anyway!

So the moral of this story?

Patchwork fabric is not just for quilts!!

Keep on stitching or covering !

REVERSIBLE PINNY AND THE ADORABLE RUBY

How gorgeous is this little girl Ruby. She comes in to visit us with her mum Renee. Everyone just goos and gaas at her as she is just so charismatic!

Ruby's Mum loves to sew so here is Ruby wearing her REVERSIBLE PINNY.

and here is the reverse. A quick change done by Mum.

Renee has fussy cut and appliqued the other fabric on this side.

Oh, but check out the FRILLY DILLY BLOOMERS too.

Matching of course.
If you would like to share any of your project photos we would love to see them.

Keep on Stitching,

BUSY PATCHWORKERS

Today our girls who come in for our Stitch Inn mornings brought some Show and Tell.

Pam made this quilt from a Jelly Roll plus s bit. She came in puzzled with the border and of course our fabulous angels were able to help out! Pam has done the Beginners Quilting Class we run in the shop and I must say she has done a great job with the quilting on this one. Judie B our tutor would be very proud.

Liz just back from a wonderful trip brought in her Playing with Black and White fabrics to share.Looks great don't you think. Love the way the sashing is a colorwash! A little bird told me that Liz might be going to help out in the classroom next year. She has promised to teach her Double Wedding Ring quilt which is to die for! If you don't already get the class list . Send us an email (mailto:info@patchworkangel.com.au) pop into the shop so we can add you to our email list.
