Angel Challenge - February

Only one day late! My Angel Challenge item for (last) month 2 which had to feature an angel printed onto fabric and made up into a 12" block.

Having been mainly incarcerated to the sick room, as nurse (most of the week) and then patient (luck!) it did take me some time to get around to doing this. Also I had to take both my children to Hobbycraft to buy Freezer Paper when they were a bit pukey, so there is some evil mummy karma associated with this. Perhaps that is why when I finally came out of my own pukey bubble, I decided on an almost psychedelically cute theme.

So here, in a horribly murky photo (sorry - dark at my house) is my effort: a girl's pillow as yet unstuffed featuring two cherubs and a lime green 'cutie'.

Stay wellxx

Angel Challenge

Last month I decided to take part in an Angel themed creative challenge, curated by Dee at Dizzy Little Kingdom.

For January we made angel wings hanging decorations/lavender bags. There were such a lot of beautiful entries. Mine ended up looking like this:

 I love doing these blog challenges it really gets my creative sewing juices flowing! This month is a bit more of a committment, as we are designing and making an embroidered angel panel based on a picture of our choice. I have been having a look around and I think that I will make a panel using this as my inspiration. We are supposed to be using our printer to get the design onto paper but I am probably going to have to use the old lightbox method instead as I am afraid it would kill our printer to be fed fabric. Anyway, watch this space - or go over to Dizzy LK for the complete picture.
