new cushions




I thought it was time to write again.


The sewing machine has been running hot.


the sewing room is chockablock full.I am making two new cushions to enter into the nillumbik art prize.Mostly there are paintings and drawings in this art prize . There are a few 3d pieces so I thought i would have a go. $5000 prize money or $1000 peoples choice prize.
first cushion- beautiful blue feather pattern. with purple crushed velvet on the outside.
second cushion -silk leaves appliqued onto silk leaf pattern and velvet-I think I will add some more sewn on leaves maybe in kimono orange.
I also have clothes to make as well.
black fringed top and gold silk shirt for Suzanne
silk shirt and separate top for Rada.
alter long black velvet skirt for Lucia
things for the african shop.
then think up an embroidered label for the sewing room..Amy and I are thinking of .
.....A and S the glasshouse...not sure really.
