Been Sew Busy!!

Hello!
Well what a week.....had my last exam for uni this year, which was AWFUL! Pure math and statistics is not my sibject anymore!!! Back to work for one and half days but wishing I was home sewing...nothing but issues even though I kept up with emails whilst I was off!!

Anyway, back to the more interesting topic of me and my machine...........

I have been working on my commitment to give Maddi's room a re-haul!

Here is all my efforts so far:


On the back of the sofa are many strips of squares pieced ready to make a duvet cover I am about half way through and I am about 12 squares short so need a trip to the fabric shop.  The co-ordinating pillows are on the arms...more to come on this later.

Next is the owl family - these are now known as the Tw'its -


Mummy Mrs Tawny Tw'it is in the pink, Hooty Tw'it is the multi-colour chevron and finally baby Tw'it (no name as yet) is in the stars in the middle, this was really fiddley but well worth the effort, I have to make the feet out of felt to fet the points but the wings are in the chevron.

Here is the Little Red Riding Hood Cushion:


It is a Riley Blake Panel that I was told for a cot size quilt, Maddi is way past this, but I did like the panels and they were all relevant to her and things she enjoys so I thought a few cushion would be nice for story corner.  I really like adding one with strips for the corner.  Here is the back in a coloured version of the panels all over the fabric, from my favourite Riley Blake:


I used the same pattern for the back as the campervan cushion, one little mistake of putting the two halves the wrong way up, but Maddi doesnt seem to mind!!

Finally here is a better photo of my camper van cushion:


Maddi seems really excited about her room now which is great because she hated it before.  I need to get it painted but probably once we get back from vacation.  I still need to finish the duvet cover, the quilt and some more cushions and decorations.  Any ideas?

Thanks for stopping by....
