Playing Nicely...

Radioactive was doing my head in.....

It has been banished until it can play nicely!

 I was seriously tempted to start something new 

but I resisted.....


Scootering...

And dug my Sherbet Pips out of hiding- from last 

year,

oops! Its upside down!
Based loosely on this pattern...


"Sea Breeze" by Mary Cowan

It was pleasure to sew with such pretty fabric, and 

soft colours.....

And straight lines!


These images still make me smile, even if this fabric 

is so 'last year'!

Sweet girls swinging...


I changed the original layout around a bit...


I really wanted to include the puppy dogs 

somewhere....



So with some creative piecing....



they are now running around the outside of

"Pips Playground".....



Finished size: 49" X 67"



Happy days!

  2. What a pretty layout! And I love the addition of hometown (one of my ultimate faves) for the border. Who cares if it's so last year??! ;)

  7. Oh tell me about it - whenever I finish something it is always 'so last year' as I take so long to finish anything! It's looking great Susan - love the dogs running round the outside.
