Nearing the end of my patchwork cushion

I've been trying my hand at a little patchwork.  The long term goal is that I would like to create a full size quilt for my daughters bedroom for when she is older.  I would like it to be big enough for a single bed and it will incorporate fabrics from some of my favourite items of her baby clothes... so it will be special and therefore I dont want to mess it up.

So... I'm practicing by making a patchwork cushion as a first project with some spare fabrics.  It's inspired from my 'Kirstie's Homemade Home' book by Kirstie Allsopp.  I'm really pretty pleased with it except for the fact that I would have finished it by now if it wasnt for the fact I got carried away and wasn't concentrating...  I sewed the back onto the front with the wrong side up... so I've had to unpick it all... grrrr!!!  Well hopefully that is a lesson learnt!

Welcome

Welcome to my new project!  A blog focusing solely on my craft projects, using both my old skills and those that I will be learning along the way.  I'm never happy if I'm not painting, building or creating something new and have finally realised that!  There are so many new crafts that I want to try my hand at, and I have no idea which ones I will be any good at!  This blog is a personal diary of my creations and I'm sure there'll be a few disasters too....!
