I had hoped that the nice weather I had enjoyed on the rest of my holiday through Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany would follow me here so that I could capture the lovely colourful area around the Petite France area, but alas, this was not the best of days (in fact it started to rain not long after this!) Ah well, it's always nice to have an excuse to go back to a place.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #strasbourg #alsace #france #migrationmonday #migrationmondaylt #travelphotography #canon7d #mycanon #canonuk

Yesterday I showed you the lovely cushion I got fr Yesterday I showed you the lovely cushion I got from @canadianabroad in the #britbee swap, and today I'm showing you the one I made for @inspiredbyfelix who wanted something to go with her petrol blue sofa. In her inspiration mosaic she had included another @sewquirky pattern, so I saw that as an excuse to break out Cuddlee the Sloth. I used mostly Florida from Ruby Star Society, along with some of their Speckle basics and some cork with colourful flecks that I picked up at FOQ a couple of years ago. His glasses are a glitter vinyl, because why not? I piped the edges and did a lapped zip closure on the back. I also made a pencil case as an extra, but forgot to take photos 🤦🏻‍♀️ . . . . . . . #quilting #quilt #iquilt #sewing #sewcialist #lovesewing #lovequilting #isew #sewist #sewingblogger #quiltblogger #cuddleethesloth #sewquirkypatterns #rubystarsociety

This is the gorgeous Heather Ross laden cushion was made for me by the lovely @canadianabroad and she sent a whole load more wee squares to add to my HR collection/hoard. #swapgoodies #britbee #britbeeforever

New Post!!! Work In Progress Wednesday Whew, it’s been a wee while, eh? Over the summer I just ran out of things to share, partly due to some missing sewjo, and partly because the few things I was doing either couldn’t be shared because they were for a swap, or because they were just too big to get a photo.
