Patchwork door stops

I have never done any proper patchwork or quilting before. I have been getting more and more interested lately in patchwork. So I borrowed some books from the library, to at least learn the basics of how all the different fabric pieces are sewn together (so neatly!)

So practicing my patchwork, I made another door stop this one for my mum and step-dad . It was great fun. I can now see how addictive patchworking is.

Door stops

This week I have been sewing these door stops. Instructions from this lovely book which I got for Christmas off Chris. So easy to make. Lots of fun mixing and matching different fabrics.

The one on the left is for my Grandma. I like it so much, I may just make one or two for our house. Of course, the one on the right is for Abbey's bedroom, to match her pillow case, and made with fabric scraps.
