Judy made up an elegant version in French red and taupe using Rouenneries Deux fabrics. Judy did a fabulous job considering her limited experience with a rotary cutter.
As it happened, there were two Jackies in the class. Jackie #1 tested out her brand spanking new Bernina by whipping up her pillow in Aster Manor by 3 Sisters. She found perfectly matching buttons and discovered the magic of the #10 Bernina edgestitch foot!
Jackie #2 chose the always fresh combination of blue and cream for her version. Again, her choice of buttons was lovely!
Wendy survived my first workshop and bravely returned for my second :) The fabrics for her pillow were chosen to match her recently upholstered bedhead - a sublime combination of soft blues in Bunny Hill's Oooh La La range.
Ros sorry to hear that your daughter is still unwell. She must be so 'over' it by now. Hope that things right themselves soon. And your pillows are beautiful!

ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that your little blossie is still sick
ReplyDelete:( ...the cushions are all so different and so lovely. Glad you could get a little time out.
Hello gorgeous....I hope your little Miss is feeling better soon....I am so dissappointed that I had to work and missed this fun day.... I have made this pillow for a swap last year but could have done with one for myself...*Grin* Glad you girls had a lovely day...x
ReplyDeleteOooo so lovely Ros. Everyone's fabrics are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThose pillow slips look really classy and beautiful, I like the pale blue and red colors. I can totally see that design being used for table mats, which I can make out of scraps of old clothing.
ReplyDeleteI recently took some denim granny squares which I had cut from some old jeans and used them to cover worn out dining room chair cushions. I sewed some old winter check shirt grannies on to the denim covers to break the monotony. It really turned out cute and kind of shabby chic'ish.
Out of old jeans I've also made a pouch for my Tracfone smart phone LG500G smart phone so that the touch screen won't scratch or shatter. I took some old check shirt and cut a giraffe motif out of it and sewed it on my denim pouch.
I love the challenge of making something beautiful or useful out of scrap clothing.
The pillows all look so beautiful I am dying to have a go myself. So very pretty.
ReplyDeleteI do hope your daughter starts to feel better soon, you must be worried sick by now.
Love the cushion! Are honeybun strips 1.5 inches wide? I have downloaded the free pattern from the Moda website and cant wait to get started but none of our Patchwork Shops in the lower end of the South Island of NZ sell Honeybuns and I cant find anywhere how wide they are. I hope your daughter is feeling a bit better as it is not only stressful for them but for the whole family as well.
ReplyDeleteAre all so lovely!
ReplyDeleteLove your pillow covers!!!
