More Chocolatey goodness!

I've been doing some more sewing with my lovely chocolate fabric.
First, some chocolate aga pads. I think these would look good in any kitchen, traditional or modern!

Next I've teamed the chocolate with some funky bubblegum pink and made these little reversible bags - each one is just big enough to hold one large easter egg, or about 4 cadbury's creme egg sized eggs. These will be going to the easter craft fair at Barby on 29th March.

More Chickeny Aga top pads

I managed to get these finished today. I also cut out the fabric for the chocolatey aga top pads, but I need more insul bright before I can finish them.

I love this fabric - sadly this was the last of it. The bias binding is all handmade - it is so easy, and looks much nicer than ready made!

And this is some more of the vintage Laura Ashley curtain fabric. I managed to get a hen on one and the rooster on the other!

Aga Top Pads & New Patchwork

When a friend talked about top pads for her new aga, I had to have a go! All these pieces of chicken fabric in my stash have been crying out for a kitcheny make! These are the first ones to go into the Folksy shop. I love this fabric in soft greens and creams with it's pretty chicken and egg design. I've used the insulbright wadding inside so they are good and heat resistent. And keeping to the recycled theme, the reverse is plain cream recycled cotton and the binding is hand made from recycled fabric.

My husband was moderately impressed with my last quilted fleece and commisioned one for his mother. I have to say I am impressed, he isn't normally known for inspirational gift ideas, but this is definitely one of his better ideas. So I chose some pretty soft greens and lilacs that I think (hope) Mum will love. I've also sourced a lovely soft lilac fleece for the reverse. I tried the colours in several different patterns, but finally settled on this one. Just need some border fabric now!
