Last week I got myself a new (second-hand) sewing machine and so I've been testing it out and this giveaway is the product of me playing with my sewing machine (a Janome memory craft 4000).
The Caged Bird Cushion
This cushion was a great project for trying out the different functions on my machine. It has some free motion embroidery/quilting (used embroidery foot), some straight line quilting (used walking foot), piping (done with my invisible zipper foot), Lawson & Lotti embroidered on the back (using a function on the machine), a zip across the centre of the back (zipper foot) and I finished the seams with a zig zag stitch.The giveaway is for the cushion cover, a cushion pad will not be included.
Along with the Caged Bird Cushion, the winner will also receive the following needle book
This needle case has an appliqued and embroidered bird on the cover, is lined with a rainbow stripe cotton and has lime green felt pages.
I used bamboo felt to make this, it was my first time using it and it is lovely and soft, really nice to work with.
The final part of my giveaway is this stack of polycotton fabrics. Although I only use cotton in my quilts, I think polycottons are great for bag linings amongst other things.
I have done very little sewing this weekend as I have been in London on my youngest sisters hen do (we had a blast, few too many cocktails were consumed and some very funny dares were carried out). I have however managed to start quilting my crocodile quilt, i've decided to do a mixture of stitch in the ditch and some straight line quilting.
Hopefully I will finish this over the next couple of days.
Thank you for popping over to read my post, hope you like the giveaway. Feel free to visit again, become a follower or subscribe. I'm planning lots of future giveaways and hopefully some tutorials coming up soon.

I can tell you had fun trying out your new machine. The pillow cover came out just lovely. I didn't know machines would do embroidery automatically. I'm in the market for a new machine myself so I guess I'd better start reading up on all the fun features that are out there. Thanks for the chance to win and for offering such lovely prizes.
That needle book is adorable!!!

The pillow is beautiful. I love the rainbow striped fabric!
I would love to win. That is a gorgeous cover and I would love the needle book because it isn't using wool as so many do. I am highly allergic to wool sadly.
