Last of the floor cushions......

Third & final cushion for my kids room re-vamp

I decided to use a panel I had floating around.

I used the Eton Mess panel which I talked about a very very long time ago. 

It just happened to be the perfect size for the cushion insert I had.

I think Giant cushions are my new Favourite :)

for the back I have used the upholstery strength Ikea fabric that I talked about back here.

& for multiple reasons I did an envelope style back on the cushions, mainly because they are going on wooden floors and the kids push them around and lay all over them.

The sofa in the kids room will be my next job, it desperately needs a recover. That job needs a bit of research before I start it.

below we have the start of my next quilty project,

I'm finally cutting into my Folksy Flannel by Anna Maria Horner.

I'm off to get all the kids ready for a swim, Hot day here in Sydney. 

Summer is coming!

Sticking with the classics

Hi All

I've settled back to routine nicely :)

Kids back to school today & everyone cheery 

Playing with fabrics today - working out what to do next!

sometimes I get overwhelmed by my stash of fabrics and colour choices, I think thats why I always have a go to fabric.

I have no real intention of being a fabric designer, when I design and print fabrics on spoon flower the intention is usually to make a fabric that will mix n match with designer fabrics - I dub these my "classics". 

When I say classic - I mean something that will have a staying power from season to season, something that will mix with new designs - a fabric that will go with everything.

If you look at most of my quilts/ cushions - they all have a bit of my own fabrics in them.

below are some I received in the post today, 

I needed a few more colours to mix up with my stash. 

Mustard, red, turquoise, pink & grey

if you'd like to have a look they are all on my Spoonflower shop

and here we have some IKEA fabric, this is going to make some great cushion backs

Im desperate to put some of my mustard numbers & black/white/grey text fabric with the IKEA fabric - Love the combination

This matches beautifully with a new lot of Liberty fabric I picked up!

Looks like I have some sewing to do

Have a good week :)
