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 ...

Review: Love, Death + Robots (part 1)

Slightly different use of the blog this evening, I'm going to sit and watch/re-watch Netflix's "Love Death + Robots" and air my thoughts, along with trigger warnings and some ranting. I feel like I should preface this with the fact that this should  be 100% my jam... I love animation, I love sci-fi, I love slightly weird shit. Sadly, it has fallen so fucking far from expectations, I kind of feel the need to say something. Also, there are spoilers galore here. So if you haven't watched it and you want to go into it without any information, this is not the blog post for you. Some of these, I'm re-watching (I started watching them with a friend, but got sick of all the violence and dicks) and some of them I haven't seen before. There are also at least 2 that I refuse to re-watch, so you're just going to have to rely on my memory.

Xmas present 3 - the squid

 This was the big one. The one that was going to the person whose opinion as a crafter I care about, and a person who has had a bit of a rough year. Thankfully, by some miracle, it all came together, although this was NOT without disasters.
