Patchwork cushions

I have finally finished a couple of patchwork cushions I have been making, one from a kit bought by the patchwork  club and another from the Kaffe Fassett book I bought on our trip to Sitges. Dave and I bought the cushion fillers this morning and they are now on the sofas.
Here are the photos. ..

Dress revamp

I revamped a dress this week. Converting it from a long maxi into a knee length low waisted 'flapper' style,  which will be much more wearable in the coming hot weayher I hope.
I forgot to take a before photo, but here is the result of my efforts.

Bolero

I have finally finished the bolero I have been  making for myself with crocheted motifs.
It cost me a bit of time and three balls of cotton from the local Chinese bazaar at €1.80 each.
At least it will stop the bra straps from showing when I am wearing strappy dresses.

Phew

A very hot Sunday afternoon here in Competa 44 degrees!!!
So we hid in the shade. I was doing some knitting and sat in my bikini. The washing dried in an hour on the line. The quilt was relegated to the end of the bed, and we were still hot!
I guess summer has arrived here a bit earlier than last year.
