All Things Craft Sewing

So, it's been a while since I posted anything in here about projects on the go or finished for that matter.  I had a camera fail, so taking pics became an issue. That's all fixed now and so onto the projects I've completed first.

My extended family welcomed 2 new editions in April, a little girl, Kate, and a little boy Lucas.  I had planned on having the cushion covers that I was putting together finished by the time they were born. But you know how it goes, you think you have time and then life gets in the way.  I managed to finish the pink one and then promptly forgot to send it up to my cousin.  Brilliant I know!  I even posted in here that I was sending it too! Oh Well better late than never! I sent it up last week, and here is a pic of that cover.

I was also in the process of putting together a bigger cushion cover for little Lucas. I managed to grab some more fat quarters for Lucas' cushion as I hadn't purchased enough to complete it by the time of his birth.  I used a pattern by Hot Possum called "Big Owl".  I used scrap fabrics from my stash mostly and the two new fat quarter pieces, and was quite pleased with how it all turned out.  I almost forgot to take a pic of it before I posted it up last week.  So here are the pics I took of the finished product.

I hand stitched all the Blanket Stitch around the letters and the pieces of the owl too.

I had fun making these two pieces, which is why I do this.
