The ottoman empire

Well ..... a patchwork ottoman empire!


Inspired by this stunning piece, I made this ...


Using fabrics purchased at Stitches and Craft a couple of weeks ago.


All Aussie fabric designers.
Namely:

I'm a proud Aussie today surrounded by all this local design talent.

  26. Gasp!

    Just wonderful.

    Now I am wishing I had an ottoman to cover - I'm thinking the same effect would be hard to achieve on a bean bag ;-).

    I just love all our "native" fabric, and it harmonies so well. It reminds me I have a few pieces from I&S somewhere, waiting to be used.

  30. eek - I wouldn't let a bottom near it, let along feet or a cuppa (shudder!)

    My new favourite machine quilter is Bev from Be My Ballantyne in Camberwell. She did my quilt basting.
