Hard at work

 I have been hard at work the last few days.

 Making some old friends and some new.  It's funny how I don't like some of the old designs as much anymore.  I just want to design new ones. But I need to make as many as possible for the craft fair I have coming up in February and the designing process is a slow one.

I've also added this little detail to the backs of my pillows; a little label.  Simply done by printing from the computer onto canvas.

The kids still have a week of school holidays left.  And all I want to do is sew!  It takes a good many hours from start to finish to make these.  I can probably do about 2 or 3 per day working from early hours till late.  Depends how complicated they are.  And I am leaning towards liking the complicated ones more....

The peace sign pillows are obviously for a certain audience.  I used to make these for Ella's friends for birthdays in CT, and they are always a hit.  And a good way to reduce landfill and use up all those fabric scraps that I keep. I figured that since I'm doing a fair at a school a few of them wouldn't go amiss.  But don't be fooled into thinking they are any quicker to make than the others!
