Funkified.

In an effort to 'funkify' the living room I decided that I needed to make some new cushion covers. Initially I was going to buy a selection from Melin Tregwynt and make one large patchwork cushion from a pack of patchwork pieces from Margo Selby. However once the Margo Selby pieces arrived I knew that they needed to be mixed with some lovely plain Harris Tweeds from the stash and here they are....
I love the jewel-like colours and sheen of the Margo Selby fabrics......
against the rich matt 'hairyness' of the Harris Tweed.....
 even the monochrome works well.......
I was so excited by these combinations that I decided to take the idea and apply it to some bags which I christened the 'Margo' bags - very happy with the result!
I am off to Benmore Botanic Gardens for an event this weekend which entails a ferry ride across the Clyde estuary. I am hoping to get some good pics to share (weather permitting) - have a good weekendx

    These are lovely Suzanne. The combination of fabrics works really well and the 'Margo' bags are fab. See you tomorrow!
