Hello Stitching Friends,
Today I´m joining Jo of Serendipitous Stitching for the SAL called `Let the People Choose´.
This month´s theme is Sewing, so I delved into my files to see what I could find. Practically all the embroidery that I do is eventually sewn into something more or less useful, so here I will endeavour to show items with more sewing than embroidery.
This is a quillow - that is a blanket/quilt which folds into itself to become a pillow. I made it years ago when my youngest grandson was born.
For another grandson, I made a quilt based on the storybook `The Bremen Musicians´.
I copied the fun illustrations by Petra Steinmeyer.
I was inspired by some cute mice from another storybook and after dressing them up a bit, made my sewing machine cover.
A couple of tote bags, one was gifted to a friend and the other smaller beach tote was claimed by my daughter.
I´ll leave all the table runners and place mats for another day and finish this post with my favourite patchwork cushion.
Bye for now.
Sheryl
I'm intrigued by the idea of a "quillow", and I love the ones you've done!
