patchwork cushion

 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!

pps. Hello to Rachel's Mum, 

Thanks for reading my blog and glad to keep you entertained!

ppps. Nearly flipped out last week trying to change my blog layout.
There's a lesson, don't try and fix things if you don't know what you're doing!
Big phew!!!!!!!!!!!!!
