Knitted Aeolian Shawl











It's finished at last!




I used some beautiful yarn from Yarn Addict Anni called Luscious lace...it truely is luscious. With silk and cashmere it has to be soft and drapey.




The pattern is designed by Elizabeth Freeman and presented on Knitty.




I used size 8/0 Miyuki Triangle S/Beads - Color/Lined Amethyst/Rose (30g,1150 beads approx.) and size 3.75mm needles.



Thanks to models Kate and Sally :)






cheers and happy quilting and knitting!

Cottage Chic Cushions





Lynn made these four lovely cushions from my pattern Cottage Chic Cushions.


My original ones are in an assortment of pale florals, checks and stripes so this is a delightful change. thanks Lynn. I love the green backgrounds behind the applique flowers. It really makes the flowers shine out, and matches the floral prints in the centres of the other two cushions.

Maybe a quilt to match would be good?

cheers

Lynn's winning quilting project


At last, I can show you the photo of Lynn's patchwork table runner, which won first place in the Moonta quilting group challenge during Kernewek Lowender (the world's largest Cornish festival in the Copper Coast of South Australia).
The little yo-yo's really complete the design. Well done Lynn.
Oh, and her cat appreciates it too:)
