Two Sisters

Two sisters, but not my two. One loves purple, and the other loves pink. Close in age. Still at that age where the same, yet different, presents work well.

Two cushions. One purple, and the other pink. With green and blue added in so they weren't too over the top.


I pieced them last night, and did the perle cotton hand quilting on the purple one before I tottered off to bed. This morning I did the rest of the hand quilting and turned them into cushions. Some of the green corduroy on the back of the purple star and blue coduroy on the back of the pink one.


And now only one more present to make before Christmas. I've barely been on line for weeks it seems. My blog reading has gone to pot. Email replying is abysmal. But the light is at the end of the tunnel. And right beside the light is a lovely glass of red wine and a box of chooclate. I'm sure of it.

  2. Omg!! How do you do this so fast?? You say "oh, I pieced these and hand quilted them last night" like that's the simplest thing in the world!!! I think I need you to come to my house and attack my wip pile :-)
    They are lovely pillows and I'm sure the girls will love them.

  23. Love these! You have inspired me to make some for my neighbours who move back to the newly renovated (read gutted) house today. Mind you they are Goths so mine will have to be all black. LOL
