Foxes' pillowcases and new tatting project

Hello dear readers!
These New Year holidays were very busy. My mother in law were with us here and we were traveling a lot and I didn't have enough time to sew. In spite of this hot time I could complete my  pillowcases, so here they are

I love them a lot because I like the orange color. The foxes' personage for these pillowcases came to my mind when I saw my friends' dog, I love this dog so much and she looks and behaves like a fox.
When we were in the eastern part of Sydney I found an interesting fabric shop, prices there were reasonable and I bought fabric for tunic and dress for my daughter. As decorative element for the tunic I decided to make tatted lace. So I've started the process and made one element.

The pattern for this element I took here. This blog belongs to a very talented  woman. Thanks her a lot for this pattern. I couldn't say that it's very easy pattern, it's necessary to know how to make a cluny leaf. I specially took a lesson for it last week. So it's not difficult when someone explain. I've got a good explanation, many thanks Lyall, my teacher.

Thank you for your visit. I'll appreciate your comments. See you soon.

This is the first post in 2015. All the gifts were given and now I can show you some of them. I made two pillowcases for my relatives and friends. Here they are

This one is for our good friends and their dogs. I love them so much. Making this pillowcase I tried to print on fabric in the first time.

For the pillow bellow I used the permanent sticks ( Pentel) to make the picture. Hope it's washable.

Hexagon butterfly pillowcase

Hello, as I've announced before I'm in a making process of new pillowcase. I have unusual Tempura pillow (butterfly shape) and I can't find the appropriate cover for it. So I like hand quilting and decided to make one side of my pillowcase from one inch hexagons and here is the result:

I used English paper piecing method to connect all the hexagons. So I hope to complete it soon. Have a good day, thank you for reading.

Make my new home cozy

      So we found a new place for living. This is a beautiful area in the Hills District, Sydney. There are many lovely houses and plants around here. I think everyone who lives here is happy to see this scenery every day. There are orange trees near roads, vivid gardens everywhere and I decided to reflect all my impressions on the pillow.

     I used here many things which were new for me. Usually I make a picture with painting or cross stitching but I've wanted to try Rococo method of stitching in this case. It was really interesting experience. When I looked for a Rococo style description the Internet I  met  many photos with vintage Rococo and was so impressed how popular it is. I joined fans.  Here it is my result that I've got.

May be my experience will be useful. Thanks for reading. See you soon in Cozzyland.
