Patchwork cushion
Cushion covers made for Tim.
Another creation from a day at Quarry Bank Mill. Simple patchwork and applique.
Design from “De fil en aiguille”, Hors Series, Fleurs, French cross stitich magazine. The emboidery was inset into a purchased cushion cover. embroidery design size approx. 33cm X 33cm. Stitched on 14ct white Aida using DMC threads.
A lovely 2020 Christmas present, the kit was an ideal activity for lockdown 3. I adapted the pattern a little, making two narrow straps rather than the one strap suggested in the instructions. I also inserted a pocket and embellished the pattern with a Suffolk Puff with a button for the centre.
Cross stitch on linen, French design.
I adapted a cross stitch design from “De fil en aiguille” Hors-Serie, Campagne to make this cushion. I loved the designs of the cups and bowls. The embroidered panel was set into a purchased cushion cover.
