I made this zip pouch for my friend's birthday to keep the sand and dust out of her Kindle. The little bear embroidery was in the Books Issue of &stitches. Here is a Blog Post from Wild Olive that shows some of the cute projects in Issue #2.
Work STILL in progress is the Pirate Quilt, Cowboy Baby from the Material Obsession book.....I have now pieced the back, but only just had enough fabric and so it is only fractionally bigger than the front. Hope this wont cause me too many problems when I come to quilt it. How to quilt it? Nobody knows...
The front, which was finished ages ago. I sneaked some Heather Ross dots in there too, though they are now known as canon balls.
Why the ARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG in the title? Well today is International Talk Like a Pirate day........so we are taking part...ooohhh arrrgghhh.
And just to finish off - a nice picture of the Cornish Coastline from yesterday!
Yes, 'Talk like a Pirate day""Aye, aye me hearties! Jolly good quilt!
ReplyDeleteOh wow - you live in the most beautiful place! I am the last person to advise on quiltng but I wish you luck. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh - the pirates are way cool! And I love your little kindle pouch, it's adorable.
ReplyDeleteI like your zippy pouch for the kindle (I really like making zippy pouches) Material Obseesion books are excellent and it is nice to see one of the quilts made. As for the quilting - good luck! Di x

ReplyDeleteOoh, love the quilt and tthe pouch, but am loving the coastline photo more! We're coming to Cornwall on hols in less than 2 weeks, and I can't wait - it's been a very hard-earned break this year. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat kindle cover.
ReplyDeleteArrrr that pirate quilt is fantastic too.

My daughter would love that Pirate quilt - her favourite shirt is a 'pirate' one, but is a nice pirate! I can't imagine that there will be a problem quilting it due to size of backing sometimes it just makes it tricky lining everything up for basting! good luck!
ReplyDeleteYour pirate quilt looks great. I wish I could think of something witty to say about it involving shivering my timbers and a parrot but alas I can't...
