I've never made front cover before but this month I made front cover of Sewing World Magazine! I feel ludicrously excited and may loiter in my local newsagents in the hope of seeing someone pick the magazine up and say to her friend "wow, what a beautiful cushion. I'm going to buy this magazine just so I can make that". Of course even if I wait there for weeks, that won't actually happen but it will happen in my fantasy parallel universe of quilting fame and fortune.
The pillow is made using Pat Bravo's beautiful Indie line for Art Gallery Fabrics mixed with Essex Linen in cream.
The front is a paper pieced star, pieced in 8 segments and quite quick and easy to do as paper piecing goes.
I love the back because these were three of my favourite prints (including the navy binding).
Congratulations Lynne - how exciting !!
ReplyDeleteI shall go and buy my copy straightaway - before they sell out!
