I decided it was time I added some more colour to one of the areas in my sewing room. The beauty of having white walls throughout the house is that it leaves plenty of scope to add colour.
I had already made the Love Cushion as you know, but yesterday I made another of my Lattice Strips cushions. You will find the tutorial here Lattice Strips Tutorial
Here is a close up of the quilting
And here is a photo of my wall deco….
I bought the large wooden scissors last year from, believe it or not, Marks and Spencer. I had planned on including a link for anyone interested in buying them, but unfortunately it looks like they don’t sell them any more. I guess that’s what comes of taking so long to actually get them up on the wall.
I still have plenty of scope (white walls) to add more colour, but it is a bit of a slow process with me. I expect I will move on to something else, until I look at that white space again and become inspired. All suggestions welcome.
In the meantime I have added this lattice strip cushion to the Bloggers Pillow Party at Stitched in Colour Do go take a look at the other pillows or even take part yourself.
Finally, I should also point out that the settee (or indeed the room), does not normally look as tidy as this. It is usually strewn with fabrics, or animals. (the cat or dog). But hey, we all spruce ourselves up a little bit for a photo session, don’t we!
What a unique pillow! So cool and how nice of you to make a tutorial.
I love your cushion with the latice stripes! I will have to try that myself 😀
Just want toadd my thanks too. The tutorials are a real help as I must admit i´m floundering. Must be age!
I too am jealous of your workspace. At present mine consists of an ironing board, plus ofcourse all the necessary tools. Thank you for all the inspiration. Now all I need is time.
It’s so pretty! Wish I had room for a couch with 2 machines and two tables plus cutting table my room is full. I have to keep my fabric in another room! Thank you for the tutorial. I enjoy your blogs.
Here I sit looking at my white walls – saying – now why don’t I think of such a clever idea! Lovely wall – and I love the pillows – the lattice one is absolutely too cool…
gotta try that one…
Love it.
Very bright and lovely. I love working with black backgrounds!
Great idea Lesley. I like the scissors. I will see your Latice Stripes tutorial
