A wall hanging :-)

Recently (well sort of, it was last year) We had a talk given by the wonderful Ineke Berlyn about her work, and her use of thermofax screens, and so after said talk, she also had things to buy (bad for me, good for her) so I bought another couple of her screens, I already had one, and another of her books, I already had two, and some paint. I didn't already have the paint haha. I also bought a strip of beautiful hand dyed fabric that was dyed by Ineke herself.

So I used the screens, and the fabric and inspired by Ineke I made this!

I quilted around the houses and windows. Then free-motion quilted the trees, then the moon, the sky and the cobbles and lanes were all free-motion quilted too. I also did a small amount of hand embroidery of some small purple flowers, and added some markal oil stick to give the moon a little sparkle!

I've got it covered!

A very quick post, for a very quick bit of something.

I had this pouffe/box/footrest type of thing given to me by a lovely chap (along with a sewing machine and lots of goodies, but I digress) when his wife passed away. He was just going to throw them away, so I responded to his advert in the local shop and picked it all up.

I have had it sitting about being used as a footstool for a good year or more, when I decided that it would be perfect for storage and a extra seat in my campervan, but didn't really match.. so I used some leftover fabric from making curtains and covering the fridge and also some faux leather type stuff and voila!

It's amazing what you can do in half and hour with a staple gun!
