Pretty Patchwork Cushions

Here are the two lovely completed patchwork cushions all hand-stitched. I filled them with a scented filling and added buttons and a bow embellishment. I'm so very proud of them!

Work in progress...

I have been totally inspired by the TV programme 'Kirstie's Homemade Home' and wanted to start making a patchwork cushion as soon as i'd seen how to do it on Tuesday evening. I'm currently making two...maybe for gifts...maybe to sell...although I quite fancy keeping one for myself ;)

I'm also trying out another sock owl in neutral colours made in a slightly different way to the two other ones i've made previously.

I'm making a reindeer too although he doesn't have a head yet so thought he'd look a little scary if I posted a picture of him!!

I shall post again with the finished products.


Lots of new things!

Just thought i'd add a quick update with my new makes both completed and work in progress! Here are the things i've finished...

Two hanging hearts, the finished pink snowlady and a robin tree ornanment (the top is open, like a pocket, for a christmassy treat to be put inside!)
