Applique flower cushion cover

 Applique cushion 

Placing and  attaching the applique designs with a machine blanket stitch was the first step.

As you can see a Free motion feather design completed the borders, followed up  with a clam shell design , now to sew in all those ends .. 

 Close up of the filler design , i do find this really helps the applique pieces to jump forward .

Happy Quilting

Autumn patchwork quilt

Autumn lap Quilt.

 Thought i would try my hand at raw applique on this quilt . and with using the colours of
autumn its turned out pretty well ..

 I did a very random design of stippling , and then worked designs of leaves in each block .

Happy quilting

Dragonfly Applique cushion cover .

Applique has got me hooked at the moment .. so here is another one of my
own designs ..
this time i would use dragonflies , using softer shades of fabric .

Once again i started off with a 12inch square of light fabric adding a border around
of the chosen fabric .. then started applying the applique pieces ..

When this was finished I made up the Quilting sandwich of wadding and backing fabric all pinned and
ready to start echo quilting around each applique before quilting a filler design .

 The filler Design i call waves and pebbles ..

Here is the finished cushion cover measuring 18x18 square.
Also teamed up with the Butterflies applique cushion. from a previous Post. 

Thanks for looking and Happy Quilting .

Butterfly Applique cushion cover .

First things first was to cut out a 12inch square of cream fabric and then decide on the main 

fabric for borders and applique .. 

Cutting out the Applique pieces of a single flowers with butterflies ..

Attaching them with a blanket stitch ..

 After this was complete i made up into the quilt sandwich of wadding and backing fabric.
 Echo stitched around the designs and stitching each separate piece that makes up the
applique , I find this really helps to bring the design forward giving it a 3D effect .


Filling in the back ground with a simple Quilting design which i call
hairbands ..

This borders will remain un quilted and made up with a light moss green fabric for the back of
the cushion cover.. This will measure 18inch square when complete.

Large Applique throw cushion .

Applique cushion.

First thing was to select a assortment of fabrics, and play around with some designs for
the applique pieces..

Then fixing them into place it was time to attach them to a patchwork block of white fabric
using a simple button hole stitch .

then another layer of applique was added to create a border and finally some deep
Damson fabric was to complete the front patchwork design .

Now it was time to start filling in the spaces in between

This was done using a simple stippling design.

A gold silk thread was used throughout this project .

With just the remaining white border to finished with the stippling design before
going on to create a design for the outer border ..


Will keep you posted with an update of the finished project.

Applique and Quilted cushion cover .

Hi there , ive started off this week end with some Batik cotton fabrics also some William Morris Jelly rolls. First thing was to cut out the Applique shapes and fix to the fabric using a blanket stitch .

I created a border using the Jelly Roll.

Then another round of Applique .

This was then made up into the sandwich of wadding and backing fabric .. I used a gold silk thread to start the echo stitch around each of the Applique design .. this really helps with pulling the design forward .

The filler design for this project was a simple Stippling .

This will now be made up into the cushion cover .. will post an update
