Awful & Awesome

I'm possibly the only person stupid enough to enter an item into the Royal Melbourne Show which hasn't been made yet. It has to be delivered in eleven days and I'm still working on it. I still haven't made a final decision on what fabric I'm using!

Here was yesterday's dilemma.

The cross stitch I did a couple weeks back: Awful.


Letters printed out, pinned onto Easyfixed fabric, cut out and ironed on: Awesome.

I experimented with topstitching the letters but it was really gross. So, iron-ons it is.

So the next problem is that I hate the fabric I bought for the roof. Instead of my usual broadcloth off long bolts, I bought matching colours in quilter's homespun. The only thing I couldn't match was the creamy tan. I thought this browny colour would be okay but it doesn't look good with the rest of it, and it's too close to the topstitching colour.


So I thought I'd use the broadcloth, only to discover I've run out. This is such a hassle, as I don't have a car during the week and Hubby T's working this weekend. I either have to head out to Spotlight as soon as he gets home today, or take a bus tomorrow. Blergh.

As a change of pace here's some new print collections I'm building up for limited edition cushions. On the left I'm building up a geometric set, on the right I'm starting a bold set.

If you've got any suggestions for prints I could use leave me a note!
