Happy Birthday Queenie!

Well can you believe our lovely Queen is 84 years young today?

So in honour of our Queen and Country I have made an English

Lavender Pillow with a Union Jack on the front, very Chintzy it

is too!

I thought I would have a play with a difference today, as you

can see by the mess, it's fabric time, I intended to cover this

box, same as the Magnolia covered one (see last post)

in fabric with a Union Jack on the top, well that's

how it started!!! Then I liked it so much I thought I

would use it instead to make a little lavender pillow,

all stuffed with my vintage (2005) home grown, organic

Lavender, I cut and dry it every year from my garden

and store it in these old Sweetie Jars!! mmmmm wish you

could smell how lovely it is. All this fabric is either Laura Ashley

or old remnant's from curtains or pillows I've made, plus a

pair of old stretchy jeans cut up too!!!

Here's a little close up of these gorgeous fabrics and braid.

This is the back with silver heart used as a weighted button.
