A couple of little treats

My sister loved my mum's pin cushion and said she wanted one, but she doesn't sew, so I decided to make her a little cushion for her teddy bear. I decided I wanted to have a little go at patchwork, and thought the two would be perfect together.

I think I need to practice on my centring when embroidering, lucky Tilly the bear won't mind that it's not perfect, but I'm happy with my first patchwork item. It was quite easy so will definitely do more of that in the future, and try different designs.

I also made a temporary pin cushion for myself, I want to make myself a really nice posh one eventually, but for now, while I'm scrunched up living in this tiny caravan, this one is perfect.
