'Linen & Lawn' by Sue Daley Designs for Penny Rose Fabrics is a dreamy collection of the sweetest colours, printed on super fine lawn fabric with a lovely drape. Perfect for quilting, English paper piecing, and dress making! I used a selection of the soft pastel prints from this pretty collection to make a pom pom cushion (which was promptly claimed by my daughter Alice of course). The classic block I used in the pattern is called a woven ribbon star. For the cushion backing I used the pink dotty print from my Sweet Orchard collection, and the medium size pom poms are by Riley Blake Designs. I machine quilted the cushion with a long wavy stitch, and also hand quilted around the star in pink variegated DMC perle cotton. I love projects that are quick to sew and this cushion was pieced, quilted and assembled in just a few hours. Alice adores it - I hope you liked it too! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ***** GIVEAWAY!! ***** You may remember a while ago I was raving about my new wood watch by Jord Watches. Well, the lovely folks there have not only sent me one of their other watches that I have been coveting (The 'Cora' in Koa wood & rose gold) they also offered a watch to one of my followers! To enter the draw just click this link and select the watch you would like to receive. Competition closes 24 September - good luck!
