Oops I sort of got caught out today! How could I forget ....but it is still #scraptastictuesday!
I have been busy joining up with my lovely friends @archiewonderdog and @ochil_lynz in their #christmascushionalong. I am hoping to give every cushion in the house a Christmas makeover as a subtle sort of Christmas decoration...well maybe not that subtle! I also want cushions to match my #nordikquilt.
I made a teeny little 4.5" tree block in my Nordik quilt and there wasn't a great colour contrast so I thought I should have another go. So I drew up some colour options on EQ...
And went with this @karenlewistextiles scrappy version....in a much bigger size. I am not a huge fan of paper piecing but really quite enjoyed this.
And here it is quilted, by hand with cotton perle, and the cushion finished.
Check out my IG feed @nickyeglinton if you want to see more cushions - three are finished and one more to complete (though I may have to make some others)
So onto buiness.....

What a fun way to update your cushions!
ReplyDeleteCushions are a great way to update your seasonal decor. Your tree pattern is perfect for the season.
ReplyDeleteI have been watching the cushionaganza on instagram!
ReplyDeleteIf you have any suggestions on how to link from instagram, let me know. I only get an error message.
That is one gorgeous cushion Nicky, some of those pieces look tiny!
