What's that Mum?
It's a fabric football made from Lucky Penny by Alison Glass - a new fabric line coming to Village Haberdashery in the New Year.
What's the point of it Mum?
Well Annie sent me the Lucky Penny fabric and I was so excited to play with it that I decided to make an oversized EPP hexagons and pentagons football.
Whatever.
'Just wait till you see the patchwork waistcoat I made you for Christmas, love' then walk away smiling, that'll teach them! ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely football whatever.
bwahahahaahahahaa!
ReplyDeletewhenever my 5 yo son sees me unpacking fabric he always asks 'is that for me'? He's impatiently waiting for summer so I can make him pyjamas using the Cars fabric I bought a few month's back. A fabric football would equal destruction in this house but it is very pretty!
ReplyDeletegorgeous
ReplyDeleteThats kind of exactly what i thought. Whats that Mama G? Pretty but useless. The ball, not you.
ReplyDeleteWell I love your fancy football!
ReplyDeleteLOL, well I love it! What size hexies did you use? My little guy would absolutely love one of these...
ReplyDeleteHaha...can see that being thrown at unknowing victims around the house :)
ReplyDeleteI made something similar for my toddler, stuffed it lightly so it wouldn't cause too much damage. He knows it's his, but he thinks it's a cushion! If you throw the ball to him he sits down and rests his head on it.
ReplyDeleteWho cares? It's lovely
ReplyDeleteIf you had a sewing room and a basket ball hoop, when mulling patterns/ideas over you could lob it through the hoop ;o)
a ball just like this, but in a variety of pin whale corduroy, was the first "patchwork i ever did... 39 years ago... my grand children still play with it, Make a "Puzzle ball" to go with it and stick it to the naysayers :-)
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing. How big is it?
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea :) The black and white dot looks perfect with Lucky Penny.
ReplyDeleteBoys just don't get it do they.?
ReplyDeleteDoes it have to be 'for' anything?! Surely something that pretty can just lounge around looking good?
ReplyDeleteHahaha! Well I think it's lovely!
ReplyDeleteHey math whiz this ball has a triangulation number of T=3. Spread that around at parties.
ReplyDeleteThat was funny! I love the ball!
ReplyDeleteOn me 'ed! x
ReplyDeleteOh, I think a small toddler would have fun with that. Or one could set it somewhere to look interesting like those shiny garden balls, although that would have to go inside. I want to make some smaller ones for Christmas decorations, maybe yours is small enough for that? I think it is fun and colourful.
ReplyDeleteYou could always use it for a pin cushion....or a projectile to launch at people who ask too many questions.
ReplyDeleteWell, how fun is that? I wonder why I never thought of making a fabric ball........????? Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteMy puppy would love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely! I adore it! I really want to make something now with Lucky Penny + a black something or other dot. Is that the one from Moda's Little Black Dress line? Are the dots cream? Ummm, thinking... Anyway, I LOVE it and I hope you will get a chance to make a quilt with Lucky Penny soon, because I would love to see what you would do with it!!! Thank you so much for your enthusiasm and support!
ReplyDeletewould love to make a fun quilt with this stuff!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like one of those stress balls - genius!
ReplyDeleteI'd have thrown it at their heads ;o)
