Mini Quilt....

I finished the little quilt which I was inspired by the book of foundation pieced Cups and Saucers.
Whoops!!!  This doesn't appear to be the photo with the binding on....  I'll save that for another time!!
I made a  little pouch for my Daughter in Law with some fabric that I bought in London in March.


and added a cute little camera charm to the zip


more London fabric for the lining!
Our hand dyed fabrics cut into strange shapes to  make into Happy Villages quilts.  I did some dying with H and we took our fabrics to a workshop to make into wall hangings.......


We spent all day cutting out little shapes.....

and fitting the pieces onto the background.....

...until it was full...

...and added rooves and windows...

this is H's so far...

and this is mine - I've already got one of these that isn't finished yet, so decided to make this one with a space at the side for the sea or sky or something.... watch this space - but don't hold  your breath - I started the first one a few years ago!
H made a jubilee cushion

this is the back

and this is a picture she drew years ago.... just to prove she has always been talented!

And this is my Jubilee cushion - we just randomly slashed the blue fabric and inserted strips of red and white.
Mug rug for her

mug rug for him

His and hers mugs rugs for my Uncle's 80th birthday!
