I've been pedaling away at my sewing machine, stitching up the many whims of ideas circling around my head parts, cutting up fabric and sewing it back together again in the name of patchwork. And pillows.
The pillow above and below is my latest fancy and uses 6" square traditional quilt blocks given a fussy cut spin.
I don't think I could ever tire of using fussy cuts in patchwork, what is not to love?
When I'm not pedaling you can bet I'll be embroidering and now that my Bouquet pattern is finished and permanantly lives on my bookshelf in full view of all corners of the living room, I decided there was nothing for it but to start another flowery embroidery thingy.
This one doesn't have a name yet but it's keeping my embroidery fingers busy at those annoying moments when the sewing machine just isn't allowed out to play.
Talking of which it's time to get back to the pedal :)
Love the little foxes! Fussy cutting always adds such wonderful interest to pieced blocks! Your little stitcheries are definitely heirlooms in the making!

Regarding your creations and ownership...
I did send the girl in the hulahoop photo to my daughter in an email last month. She wrote back that she liked it.."cool" she said. She has a sister who decorates hulahoops and travels with them to music festivals across the US, where she sells them. I do hope this email was not in error. Sorry, should have asked first.
Your blog and creations of all kinds inspire me to actually get busy and make things,not just spend hours looking at what others are doing.... That is saying something...Thank you very much!
