Just a quickie post to show my latest creation.
Mary this is what I was working on
when we were emailing each other.

This cushion is a present for distant relations in Canada.
I have no idea what their taste is so I tried to keep
the colour scheme fairly neutral.
(I have robbed the white stars from another project!)
I did use a pink vintage fabric that to me looks like
maple leaves.

My parents are visiting them so my Mum asked me to make them something!
It's paper pieced and bound like a quilt,
which I think ties it together nicely.
This is my first ever cushion with buttons,
so I'm pretty proud,
even if it did take me all day!
ps. just to let you know I shall be taking a blog brake for most of June,
don't forget me!

The cushion is perfect! And your buttons look amazing...can't believe it was a first time! I have thought about changing things up as well, but then I have thoughts of losing everything! Enjoy your break...no way will we forget you....we will just miss you :(
Gorgeous cushion and the colours are beautiful, just my cup of tea!!!
Don't worry I won't forget you, in fact I'll be jealously thinking about you because I'll know where you are!!!! :)
