I bought this framed vintage car in an op shop and immediately thought about tearing it out of the frame and making a boys baby quilt out of it. Thank you very much to the maker, whom has painstakingly cross stitched this for me. Colour Inspiration- check, center focus - check , and left over triangles in brights already cut for me. Easy Peasy.. rip up an old sheet and quilt made in two afternoons. Got to be pretty happy with that! I put a running tacking stitch in red to give a little interest in the zigzag. One down , two girl quilts to go!
I riffled through all the bits of printed cottons I had and started whipping up cushions. Some I have crocheted edges to, others left simple.
I have also eco dyed some cloth to get leaf imprints on the fabric . I have then echoed the eco print with either a eucalypti flower or the actual leaf shape.
And more printing
magnolia flower and seed pods
Fan shapes
That's my crafted lot!
And what an imaginative crafted lot you have dreamed up! You are a bit of a clever pants. =) That quilt is inspired. Gosh you have a talent with colour. Love, love, LOVE the blue and white fan cushions......these are quite simply, paradisiacal!!
