I have just heard that my RAK has arrived at it's new home. Bilbo has assured me that she likes it. As the theme of the design suggests Bilbo likes to make quilts, when she's not in her garden.
Little House Needleworks: QuiltingFabric: Hand-dyed 30-count Summer Sunset evenweave from Chameleon
Threads: Crescent Colours
It was my first attempt at a mattress style pincushion and also my first time using hand-dyed floss.
I decided to repeat the border for the back and used some of the detail from the border on the sides.
I had ummed and arrghed for a while about what colour to use for the edging and eventually settled on yellow. Shortly after which Bilbo started her latest quilt Yellow Peril, which was very weird, or fate, depending upon how you view these things.
