A little bit of William....

I'm happy to show a new finish!! This is a cushion I made using William Morris fabrics. The pattern is from Michele Hill's first book "William Morris In Applique".

And.... some pillowcases blendingAustralian Aboriginal fabrics and Kaffe Fasset prints.

These pillowcases will be given as wedding presents (with pillows) to my friends who have migrated to Australia to India. I felt it was a beautiful merger of fabrics as well as souls.

The trouble is...

I am having difficulty finding time to get my head around the actual finishing of some projects.

I am still working on:

1. the Garden Song quilt


2. hand-stitching borders on the 12 Days Of Christmas


3. re-covering the lamp shade


4. Tis The Season stitcheries are complete, the surrounding fabrics need to be selected, cut and sewn

and.... here is the problem. I haven't focussed on my list of 5 for so long, that I don't know what is on it!!

I guess, I could pull out My Stars for hand-piecing... I really need something on the list I don't have to think about... something I can just do.

So, what do I do in the face of already owning one UFO for each year of my life? Start something else of course.

Oh boy.

At least it's only a little "oh boy".

This is what I started. A cushion from the first William Morris book by Michele Hill.

I chose one design from the "Friends" quilt for the cushion.

Okay, that's fused. Now I have to get out the machine and stitch it! That's the other problem, I haven't had the sewing machine set up in its usual place.

I really need to get my priorities right! Or is it, that I am prioritising in the right way of late?

I can't even work out what the trouble is.... LOL.
