Finished Object: HST cushion cover

Another quick and dirty finish resulting in a quick and dirty post!

This is my HST cushion cover, that was made from the offcuts of the hearts I made for the Quilts for Pulse drive last year.



I always knew that this was going to live in my bedroom, even though it doesn't match anything I own in there, because I don't want to get food or paint or god knows what else all over it that will inevitably happen if it goes in the living room.

There's nothing technically very impressive with this; the fabrics were pulled from my stash because they were roughly on the rainbow (although I was missing some green) and the hearts went off an apparently ended up in several of the quilts that were handed out.




I straight line quilted it, and used Dashwood Flurry (which was the only of the original prints I could find more of) for the back.
The wadding is some nasty stuff I got as an emergency replacement for a project some time last year, and it's grim so I only use it for stuff like this.
I sewed the back when I'd come home sick with a not-quite-migraine, which is why it's on 90 degrees round from where it should be!

And that's about it.

One envelope cushion :D

Some random things

    So I'm currently faffing around at work, waiting for a meeting that might not happen and trying no to go mad with the current project I'm working on (pro tip: don't make the English graduate computerise the electrical drawings. bad things happen) My pretty fabric for my post xmas present sewing showed up at work on Friday (when I was off doing xmas shopping in MK) so I didn't get it until today. It's so pretty! And I managed some impressive colour matching given I was working on my not very well calibrated work monitor! This is going to be tucked away until I'm done, so I'm not tempted before I'm done with presents.   I posted the other night about how much I love my seam ripper (there was an issue with squid, which will be covered in a post later when I can get all the photos in the right order, so, when I get home) and someone asked what it was, so I took this to illustrate the point. It sees a fair amount of use, and this weekend

Finished Object - Nudibranch Madness

There is no nudity in this post! Just sea slug awesomeness :D My first finish for the second quarter of the 2017 Finish-A-Long is my Nudibranch March Mini Madness shawl. Found here on Ravelry , this was an excellently quick and brainless knit, which I've managed to make obscenely colourful thanks to Mothy and the Squid's excellent nudibranch colourways. I'm trying to make an effort to have a bit more colour in my outfits, and this will brighten up anything I wear! It has a slight curvature where I bodged the tension adding the second mini skein of yarn, which I also added too early, but otherwise, a pleasing, lazy knit for lunchbreaks and evenings watching TV. I've been knitting a lot more recently; my sewing room is a mess and getting home in the evenings I just want to flake in front of trashy tv and not think too hard, rather than work around the piles of stuff lying around upstairs. I've spent a chunk of this bank holiday weekend trying to tidy up,

Finished Object: Triple Pouch

Good morning! The sun is shining and I know full well the weather is going to turn again this weekend, because it's England, but stuff it, I shall rejoice in the sun, however brief it is! This is actually a Finish Along Finish! Bet you thought there wouldn't be any of those! (I wasn't sure...) This is the Triple Pouch from Aneela Hoey's Stitched Sewing Organisers book. And it's terrifying! But it looks really cool.
