Patchwork draught excluder

When we bought our house, we discovered there was an inch gap at the bottom of the front door. Nearly two years later and it's still there as we've not been able to afford a new front door! My solution? A patchwork draught excluder.  I used strips left over from when I made our wedding bunting, appliqued them onto two long pieces of calico, sewn together into a tube and filled with old plastic carrier bags.  It's pictured here with my muddy pink wellies after a lovely day out walking Doug the Pug.

Vasarely quilt

This quilt is based on a Victor Vasarely artwork called 'Tlinko'.  I made it as a present for my mum, who hung it on her wall in her government office! It uses the same basic applique technique that I've used before (see my easy baby quilt and Steve and Ali's rainbow quilt), this time with a few other not-quite-square polygon shapes to add to the optical illusion.
