Something slightly different here. Hand drawn, free machined seed heads and leaves with bird appliqué. Next time I would use a heavier stabiliser as the machining distorts the fabric.

Pink for a girl, blue for a boy

A lampshade in shades of blue and shades of pink. 

Lampshade

Inspired by a television programme featuring Marna Lunt teaching lampshade making I had a go at my own. I bought lampshades in charity shops and drew patterns for then. I them worked on my fabric collages from my fabric stash. Finishing off with hand and machine embroidery. The finished collages were hand stitched to the existing lampshade. Hard on your fingers!!
