Screen Cosies

TV and monitor screens are ugly and uninspiring aren’t they? I like to cover them up. The original screen cosy below is made out of spare off cuts of patchwork that I had left over from a quilt. It worked out ok, and just slips over the screen when not in use.

This green and red pinwheel patchwork (below) was a sample piece that I made years ago for practice. During lockdown and now working from home a few times a week, I use it to cover up the computer monitor as it helps to mark the end of the working day. I have been throwing it over the screen for the last three years so it was about time I made it into a proper cosy. In the image underneath you can just see the lining.

Draught excluder

Now it’s Spring time and things are warming up, what better time than to make a couple of draught excluders ready for next Winter. These were made from off-cuts of furnishing fabrics and stuffed with chopped up old jumpers.

A valid reason for not getting on with Pigling Bland.. was just too busy eating gorgeous caaaake made by SBOH.

Valentine Cake
yum!

Achievement!

So it’s not Pigling Bland, but it is a completed project. What’s more, this was a joint effort with the SBOH x.
