Piecing lands happily

So here are the pillow makings. As you see,the batiks lift the cheap and cheerful fabrics up a level. And they pick up colors nicely but subtly. Liking this.

The rosettes are semi attached with fusible tape ironed on just to keep them in place while I stitch. After that I construct the pillows to toss on the sofa and cheer it up for cold weather. It's a form of winterizing, preserving the mood.

I even broke my duck (Yorkshire equivalent of pushing out the boat) and ironed a couple of shirts while the steam was going and they were to hand. I must be feeling a lot better.

I still have plenty of batik fabric for piecing. After the silk plans are done, that is. It's all go.
