Kimmis butterfly pictures



A Christmas present for my friend who always appreciates something a bit girlie.... I used a picture of a a heart shape of pale pink roses then randomly covered with cut out 3d butterflies....Very feminine and delicate.




Then I had ago at another version, this time with a lavender heart background, then I used a smaller butterfly shape using a pearlescent indigo coloured paper? the result is quite striking.......

Christmas stocking for Poppy!............


Last year I made some Christmas sacks for Angela and her husband Keith who had got married in the September and wanted Mr on one and Mrs on the other with the year of their marriage as a keepsake. This year they have a new addition to their house, in the form of a little cock-a-doodle puppy called poppy. Angela asked if I could make a stocking with her name on it. I made the main stocking out of linen and lined it with a red spot, putting the same fabric on the toe. I cut a star out of red, glitter felt and embroidered her name on this, then finished off with some jingle bells........

A welcome to Isla.........

A commission for a small quilt for a baby girl who is due to be born in the next 2 weeks or so. The mum to be is the twin sister of Jaz and he wanted to get something special for his new niece when she arrives. Jaz left the design up to me so I have kept it simple with pinks and soft green floral fabric and used heart and rabbit designs in the plain squares, and Jaz wanted her name to be included, which is to be Isla.......just hope she doesn't change her mind. The small quilt, which could be used in the pram, cot or as a floor mat, is backed with a pretty spotted soft fleece.
