Artydoll I would put it on ebay under the Antiques > Fabric/ Textiles > Quilts category.

Florence thats a major bargain. Wish I had a hobby craft near me. Ive got loads of little random pots of stuff and that would be great for keeping everything together.

Sue, that lady is certainly keeping your stocks up isnt she! You lucky thing. x

I have finished off the two cushions I was making using the crazy patchwork. Here a couple of photos. (There are more on my blog)





I have added them to my shop. I had someone contact me yesterday about one of the other ones I did with the house and people on, she wanted to know if I could add a little boy to the front of one of them, she said she is away from today until the beginning of September but will buy it when she gets back. I have altered the cushion, would be a laugh if it sold before she comes back lol but I wasn't going to take it off sale as she might change her mind when she gets home.

I enjoyed doing the crazy patchwork cushions, I had to stop myself with the decorating in the end or I would have used everything up on the two cushions and had nothing left. I am dying to make some more but OH is back on nights again until Monday so no chance of using the sewing machine until at least Monday eve or may be even Tuesday.

looks great well done

No probs. If i were you I would take a picture close up on the front so that people can see that its been expertly done. Hope you get it sold! x

Love the cushions Rufus. Was looking at them on Folksy earlier but think my OH would have a fit if I bought more cushion covers as our house is full of my attempts already! They are gorgeous! x


HMO, thats really cool. Such a fab way to jazz up a box of hankies! x

I really like the short sleeve blue one or the linked one of 'Kates' anyone know where I could get a pattern like that? These tops would be handy for work and don't look too hard.

Best of luck with the long sleeve one it's a bit beyond my capabilities!.

Rufusdog, those cushions are great, I love all the embellishments on them.

Hmo, that's a great idea for co-ordinating your tissues!
