Hello

Thank you for looking at my blog. My latest passion is applique which I have been doing since 2015. I love making things and learning new crafts On this blog you will see some of the things I have been working on. You will also see wonderful items created by other people. When I am not crafting I enjoy being with family and friends, singing and family history. My favourite place in the whole world is anywhere by the sea and I have to get my fix every few weeks. My favourite colour is PURPLE but I love turquoise too!

Commission for Jill

Jill asked me to do an underwater scene for her. I have had a scarf with wavy ends for ages and thought it would make a good jellyfish so that was the starting point. I wanted a bit more colour so decided to do some Suffolk Puffs with some batik fabric I had in my stash.
 
The circle for the small ones was the lid of a glass yoghurt pot and the larger ones were a mug. They are very easy, you just do a running stitch all round the edge, pull it tight and iron them flat. You can stuff them to create fuller ones and line them with a different colour and not pull up as tight.
 
I am pleased with the end result and think I will make some pink flowery ones next for hollock flowers. I can see a window in France, with blue shutters and hollyhocks.
