60s Puffs Still Life
Quilted Textile Work
One in a series of Still Life panels of vases and flowers.
Pink, Orange and green suffolk puffs made from 1960s fabrics are the flowers and leaves in an appliqued peach coloured damask fabric vase on an kantha stitched linen/cotton mix background.
The "flowers" are recycled from Sam and Sally Scarecrow, made by Great Aunt Nellie and me from an English Women's Weekly pattern by Jean Greenhowe in the 1960s.
The heads were not quite right, we used nylon stockings. The elastic has now gone in the arms and legs and Sally has lost a leg. My children didn't really like them and even the dog is not interested in playing.
And then I have just realized what treasures I have... many Suffolk Puffs made from genuine 1960s fabrics that were off cuts from a local clothing factory. They had been given to the local church guild to make things for the church gala... these were the off cuts of off cuts!
The jewel tones, in 3 colour families, are perfect as "flowers and leaves" in this still life. Just had to add lots of French Knots.
Finished as a mini quilt with a hanging sleeve with the ability to easily make it into a cushion if you wish.

Past Class -Strawberry Fields Forever Biscornu
A celebration of a strawberry patch with large juicy strawberries and the white flowers promising more to come. A Biscornu is a small ornamental pincushion. It has 8 sides and is usually secured in the centre of the top and the bottom to give a small depression. The work itself comes from the French, meaning something that has an irregular form with projections.
You can stitch one panel, or if you complete the second panel, we will be joining them in the second class to form the biscornu. Using the grid of the canvas and a clear chart will give you confidence to branch out from cross stitch.
For beginner embroiderers confident in threading a needle
The class price will include a colour charted pattern and detailed stitching instructions. If you already have threads and canvas that you would like to use, a full requirement list with options will be sent out. A full kit of painted canvas, needle and strand yarn will be available at the class of $36.
