Ying Ming!

good morning...
it's a lovely bright sunny day here in southeastern queensland..yay!

happy happy birthday

to my sister

jill

hip hip hooray!

my sister jill is a fabulous fabric designer
and artist
and i am very proud of her
because
she is zany and fun
and thoughtful
and magnificent!

&
today i am celebrating you!!

i made this cushion today...



it's called 'ying ming'...

i must confess though i have no idea what that means..hehe!

maybe there is a similar design on a chinese ming vase??




a bit of geometrical button embellishment



the back.

it seems as though the navy square stands out a bit much
but it doesn't really in real life.



i love this fabric
&
i'm going to do another one in pinks...

it's another public holiday here in australia
this time it's labour day.

enjoy the day,
seize the moment!

  5. We're missing out on a Labour Day holiday in Germany - they're a prosaic lot and if a holiday falls at the weekend, well it's just tough luck! Having a sister who designs fabric must come in handy!! Hope she has a great birthday. Did you make the cushion for her?
