Tour de Fibre-- Cushion

I decided to make the patchwork piece I was working on into a cushion cover. This makes me want Christmas to be here soon so I can display it. ( I will be patient as time goes fast enough as it is!)


A Christmas Welcome


We wish for Love, Peace and Joy.



I have enjoyed making this cushion, although I did struggle with the machine work. I prefer to do as much as possible by hand rather than machine. I decided that the only way my machine work will improve is to keep machining.

I am in the process of typing  the pattern and have decided to have one to give away ( which will include the 2 buttons that I have painted). So if you would like to be in the draw, please leave me a comment.

It has been a glorious day here today-- the sky is blue with not a cloud in sight. Although I have already gone for a walk this morning, I think another walk this afternoon will be a great idea.

Enjoy your weekend.

Beautiful.....I love Christmas!
Thanks for the nice comment about my new makeup bag. For the first time I tried to paint with childrens crayons. It turned out quite nice I think...and so easy :)

Your cushion is gorgeous Yvonne. I love making for Christmas too. I want to make myself a cushion with the Dickens quotation on from A Christmas Carol. I made one but it went to a friend years ago. I wish I had another pair of hands. LOL
