Quilting Temptation and Shoe Creations

I tried my hand at quilting yesterday and made this scrummy Cushion. I used Cath Kidstons Fabric and a felt square to make the heart in the centre. I've never used my machine before to applique something, so I decided to applique the heart to my cushion. I think the results came out surprisingly scrumptious. As this is a first attempt in many things, I was pleasantly surprised with the results. I also whipped up the 9 square patchwork cushion with the free fabric from the Sew magazine this month. I am gradually getting a very tasty, comfy cushion sofa.



I've started a little unexpected project. I wanted to try to spice up my shoes. I've got a couple of pairs that are in need of love. Here's how it's going so far. I've got a fabulous idea to also make an oversize red bow and to attach this to the front of each shoe. I need to find the right needle, strong enough to stitch through the shoe. x

  1. Hello Jennifer, Thank you so much for your kind comments on our Blankets. yes, we are doing a pretty good job of brightening an Elderly persons life up!
    I've just been reading some of your posts, and I sold copies 1 to 6 of Mollie Makes a few months ago. Got quite a good price too!
    They are lovely magazines, but I did tend to just flick through and then they were sitting around with free gifts also! So I decided to part company with them!
    I can see you love colour and your ideas are lovely!
    Hugs Suex
