Flamingo art



I'm in the process of making this flamingo picture in the first pic from felt and fabrics from my craft stash. It's almost done (last pic). Need a few more flourishes and then a frame. Hope you like it. Will post the finished one.

More flags

More flags made with leftover fabric from the tshirts used to make the tshirt quilt

Bunting


I made these to go with my friend's new bar sign I've made, to go round the outside of the bar. I used the leftover fabric to make these small flags. Also added some flowers to fill the spaces between the flags. Hope she likes them.

Nativity cushion

I'd seen this idea in different formats on Pinterest but as I can't follow a pattern I made this up as I went along. It evolved several  times, till it finally took shape. I made it for my mum for Christmas and she absolutely loved it.


Bar Sign for a friend

A friend asked me to make a sign to hang in her new garden bar. I initially came up with one in PowerPoint. She liked it so much she asked me to make it from craft bits. This is the result of a week of free hand embroidery, something I haven't done since school, patchwork and sewing. Hope she likes it. Happy birthday June. Look forward to the ceremonial naming of the bar on Saturday.
She liked the sign and the bunting I made with the extra fabric. Here they are hung up in her garden bar

Tshirt Quilt

I decided that I wanted to upcycled old Florida holiday tshirts that the whole family had either outgrown or in my case, lost lots of weight so they were too big for me.

This is the result of about 8 months on and off work. I'm like that with crafting. I go for months not doing anything then become a thing possessed with lots of different projects at one time.

I've never made one before but had seen them on Pinterest. So, with no experience,  and being hopeless at following patterns, I started. It took some arranging and rearranging, plus filling small gaps with labels etc but I got there in the end.

It's not everyone's cup of tea but I'm happy with it.
