April’s not quite over yet, but there’s been some crafting..

I made another cushion! This one was a kit from  Sewmotin called Applecore cushion and I bought it at the Festival of Quilts last year (2023). 



It was the rainbow of Alison Glass fabric that caught my eye - helping me decide to buy the kit instead of just the pattern or paper pieces. 



On the back I used this goegeous piece of orange fabric - too pretty to cut up into small pieces. I think it works well with the colours on the cushion front and especially the binding. 


  
G is for.. glow in the dark! The faeries, windows, lanterns and animals asre all glow in the dark festires on this Lewis & Irene fabric. 





G is for.. Granger (or Grang, as the norwegian translation of the books call her). 



H is for.. humler (which is what we call bumble bees in norwegian). 



My pile of works in progress (wips) is apparently a comfy spot for napping.. I’ve just finished the top for the courthouse steps quilt - but it will have to wait before I can quilt it, seeing as I’ve run out of batting again.. (Four meters really don’t last very long..)



I’ve still not decided if this one should be handquilted or not..



This BOM (block of the month) reappeared during my big cleanup, and now I’ve started working on it. Month one is finished (missing a photo) and month two is started. 



The latest knitting project to be completed, is this Hogwarts house jacket for A. There were some new bits and bobs with this one, seeing as it’s knitted in five parts - then three parts are joined before adding the button band, and finally the sleeves are sewn in.
