How exciting! I've decided to join in with the One World One Heart blog event, organised by Lisa at A Whimsical Bohemian. This is a cool idea whereby bloggers all over the place are encouraged to visit each others sites. It seems a great way of finding other like minded bloggers and hopefully picking up some new ideas. The incentive? Each blogger offers up a "Door Prize" draw as a thank you for visiting.
So if you've found your way here through this event, welcome to InspiredbyFelix!. I am a new mum on maternity leave and am rediscovering my love of crafting (mostly in the evenings!). I primarily work with fabric, but tend to have a go at anything that catches my eye.
It's only right that my door prize should be a cushion, since I seem to make so many of them. This cushion top has been hanging around for a while and I hadn't got round to finishing it, until this week when I picked up some lovely dark grey furnishing fabric super cheaply. It is perfect for the backing for this cushion so I have now finished it, and would like to offer it as my giveaway. The cushion top is made from a vintage pinstriped skirt, and I appliqued a simple heart design. I've done an envelope back which is edged in that fabulous orange polka dot, to zing it up a bit!
The rules are simple, visit my blog, have a look around if you like, and leave a comment on this post. After the closing date (17th Feb) I will pick at random one entry from all of the comments and mail this cushion to them! Good luck, and hope you enjoy InspiredbyFelix!
