Original Creations

I love originality, I love seeing the final piece in someone's ideas & inspirations.. so I thought I would share a few of my own final pieces.  These are from over the last few years...hope you like them

A Quilt for Mum

This Mother's Day, I thought I would make a quilt for my Mum.  I went into this thinking that it would be quite easy - nothing too challenging.. let me say, I have a WHOLE new respect for Quilters.. especially those very detailed quilts.  I didn't let it beat me though - I may have deviated away from my original pattern (once I discovered how much work was involved in it)... but I still think it came out pretty good.  I still have the pieces from the original design and now that I'm a seasoned Quilter (hehe), I might give that one a go.. in say a hundred years!

  

Elephant Madness

Recently, I've become obsessed with elephants.. 

drawing them, sewing them, painting them....  

Here are a few of the latest creations

Score of the Decade

Even before I was a home owner, I had always wanted Casala chairs in my home .. although the dream was here, the spare funds weren't.  My dreams came true the other day on my way to the shops.. someone had put 2 Casala chairs on the side of the road.. free!!!!  Without a second thought, I u-turned and put them in my boot before the previous owners could realise what they had let go of!  So, another project - they need a bit of work.. and think I'll get them done properly - and at a grand total of much much less than they are worth.  This, is the bargain of the century!!!  The saying, 'Other people's trash is another's treasure' could not be more true.
