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.
Susan
You are truly amazing and I am in awe of all the beautiful gifts that you've made! Well done, Susan.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
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 :-)
ReplyDeleteThey are lovely pillows and I'm sure the girls will love them.

Wow. You turned these around so quickly. Great wee pressies for sisters.
ReplyDeleteI am sure these lovelies will be appreciated. Your use of corduroy is making me want to get some for pillow backs too.
