I did progress one more make to a finish though. I took the quilt as you go grey cushion front and turned it into a cushion. This too is destined for Sweden.
I used Essex linen for the back and just added a very subtle teal highlight with the stitching. If you look closely at the front you will see that one of the fabrics - with the tiny flowers - features a little bit of teal as well. I like these tiny extra touches of colour.
Tonight is the last dance class for the girls for over a month. Their teacher is having a baby soon so is extending the Christmas break. I love them dancing but must say that dropping this from the routine for a few weeks is welcome right now. Just one less thing to think about. We've had four parcel deliveries so far today. It's hectic but things are falling into place. Best get wrapping soon.

Looks beautiful Mrs, another great finish. Good Luck with the rest...

ReplyDeleteTeak thread was the perfect touch.
ReplyDeleteI love the 3D effect of the cushion - the teal is lovely.
ReplyDeleteA really great cushion! Love the touch of teal.
ReplyDeleteWell done! Finishing such a lovely gift. The quilting looks amazing! How did you do it? I've done virtually no stitching for three days and every time I tick something off my to-do list two more things get added to the end! Nevermind, deep breath, carry on...
ReplyDeleteLots of lucky Swedes this year!
