The first, some bunting for a little person's room. My brief was - pink, but my daughter was more than happy with bunting made from leftover Peeps fabric. Even my SIL recognised it as the same as the quilt!!
My next project was a gift for Lorna over at Outside inspiration, and her husband Matt. They celebrated their first - paper - anniversary this week. Happy Anniversary!!
They are both enjoying their first garden so a gardening journal took care of the paper bit. Then I made a quilted cover for it. I have made quite a lot of book covers but this one, I adapted from my Zakka style sewing kit - it was nice and simple to put together. My machine embroidered seahorse is a reference to a certain feature from their wedding,
and they also live very close to the sea.
I dipped out of the Zakka project last week, couldn't source the magnetic sheets required for the tiny blocks. I haven't been idle though and hope to post a finish very soon of one of the more challenging projects in the book.
Lovely idea to make a book cover using the book. It is lovely. The bunting is just the thing for a little one. Great makes all round. Di x
