A nautical cushion for a baby boy.......

My friend Marie wanted a special gift for her friend who had a little boy recently, the cushion has been kept simple with the little boat, with his name and date of birth, and I have bordered in a smart navy fabric with cream nautical print, edged with the smart navy and white spot....




Never Enough Handbags...........

A request I had recently was from a lady visiting the Whitstable harbour village and wanted me to do a small cushion as a gift for her friend. The idea was for a neutral background with a blue handbag and then the words "Never Enough Handbags". I have a simple bag shape which I appliquéd in the contrasting blue fabrics on an ecru linen fabric, then used a mid-blue thread to hand embroider the words, then bordered in a subtle neutral fabric, small buttons complete the look....

A Happy Birthday request..........

Aisling from the shake shed in Whitstable Harbour Village commissioned a beach hut cushion for her mums birthday. she wanted it in turquoise to match her newly decorated lounge. I hope it complements the new decor....... she had liked my cushion with the little sandcastle which I had made before, and wanted the number 22 on the door, I have also added a second smaller hut in the background and quilted with a few wavy lines to add some detail to the finished look.

Beach Huts for a Baby Girl..........

a request for a girly version of the beach hut theme for a baby girl who lives in America! It is a gift from her grandparents who live locally in Whitstable and say that their daughter in law loves Whitstable, and the beach huts.....Aqua floral and Pink spot contrast was used to create this one and I kept the embroidery in girly pink!
