Daisy Made It

Dreary January

There is nothing more inclined to drive me out to my studio than dreary January weather.  Getting stuck into sewing a new quilt when the days are cold, dull and damp is the perfect remedy, especially after trudging round the woods when taking the dogs for a walk :)

In between quilts it's nice to have some small projects on the go.....quilted postcards are so quick and easy to make and can be posted like normal mail if you put them in a cellophane envelope, these are the ones I made for Christmas

Another thing I love to make are teddy bears.  I make full size jointed ones

crocheted ones

and smaller softy ones

I can see other softy animals appearing soon, but for now, it's a quilt that I will be working on :)

Be back soon xx

 

Back on the horse

What do they say? When you fall off a horse you should get straight back on it!!! Judging by the time since I was last here, I didn't get back on the horse......but I am now!!!!

Life certainly threw a few things at me, each one of them knocked me down and after a while I forgot how to get back up.  I have started to take a few steps back into sewing and am getting my rhythm back - I forgot how much I loved to sew.

This was a gorgeous memory quilt I made from favourite clothes Tia's mum picked out...she was really pleased with it.

I love making these quilts as everyone is unique. Depending on what clothing I receive will determine how the design will pan out :)

I just had to make this fun embroidered cushion for my daughters boyfriend, he loved it

I also made a cute book cushion for a delightful little girl - it has a large pocket on the front to store their current reading book in and the design of the girl was made to look like the recipient - she loved it :)

I definitely won't be leaving it so long until I'm back with more updates, here's to a wonderful 2017 for us all xx
