Simply hand-stitched.....

These 3 hand-stitched cushion covers have been freshly added to my new shop/label "Inez & James" which is all about simplicity, those all important small details, vibrant colours and quality fabrics.

 The charcoal grey cushion has 5 hand-stitched sets of 3 decreasing circles in different shades of Perle cotton. I seem to have a thing with circles at the moment as they are appearing frequently in my work.

  The aqua cushion has this playful "noughts and cross's " design that I think would look good anywhere but may be particular suitable for a child's room...

I think the green one is my favourite just because I love this shade of green. It has 6 simple star designs in 6 different shades of the Perle cotton. All 3 cushions are made with quality 'shot cotton' that has a beautiful vibrant deep colour and a almost natural linen look to the weave.

 These are my new labels which are hand-stamped with specialised textile ink for longevity. 

 All 3 have a generous envelope back enclosure and are finished with a 1/4 inch edging. You can purchase them here or customise your own by switching around the colours and designs. Oh and more designs and colours to come :-)

Good things take time....

So about a year ago I sold these chairs to a lady in Auckland who was redecorating her house and was hoping to have it featured in the "Your home and garden" magazine. Since I hadn't heard back from her regarding the magazine feature and it had been so long ago I had kind of given up on it ever happening let alone a picture of my chairs being included. About a month ago though I received a brief email from her asking for my business details and this month my chairs have been included as part of the feature of her redecorated home.

Sorry about the quality of the photo but here are my chairs looking very at home in their new owners house don't you think ;-) It's a very cool feeling to have something that I spent hours creating be featured in a beautiful magazine like this....
