Finished this Yule Time Annies cushion this morning. It has been waiting to be stuffed and sewn up for quite a while. This very cute stitchery was designed by local designer Lesley Hiller from Wash House Cats. I have made a few of her designs.
The pattern was in Handmade Vol 12 No 6. It was pictured as a wallhanging but I choose to finish it as a cushion. I love quilts with praire point borders so decided to try them out. I was quite happy with my first attempt.
I do quite a lot of stitchery projects and here is my 'very elaborate' light box.
It works really well. I have tried a variey of other methods - window, TV on an untuned channel, lamp in a washing machine! - but my torch in a box topped by an empty frame is the best.
Here is an aerial shot with Olly being cute!

ReplyDeleteWhat a clever light box idea. Does Lesley Hiller have a website or a blog?
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for a light box. I love seeing your cat laying in her basket. My cat Frida is always together with me in my sewingroom, she loves to sleep in her basket while i'm sewing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I'm always struggle to transfering patterns. I'm sure gonna try this, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this idea!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. I will have to remember that in the future. Thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeleteAm very impressed with your ingenuity! What a great light box! (Here ends my days of standing on the kitchen sink with bits taped to the kitchen window - the only window in the house that gets good light!)
ReplyDeleteHello I found your blog by chance, you're really good.
