I finally got the last of my lounge cushions finished today (or 'pillows' for my international friends!).
I've pieced & quilted 10 fronts & backs, and button holed 2 envelope backs, using a mixture of new fabrics (my winnings!) and chopped up clothes e.g. corduroy skirts, trousers, & other clothes belonging to my family!
Here's the first set - 2 x 22" log cabin cushions and 2 x 18" scrappy stripped cushions.

| These 4 cushions all have zippers |
And the purple set - 2 x 18" cushions with button hole envelope backs.
 |
| My daughter's corduroy trousers & some old duffel buttons made the perfect envelope band! |
It's lovely seeing them on my previously 'naked' sofa.
Now I just have to keep the dog off them!! (easier said than done!).
Ooooooh! Your cushions/pillows are all beautiful!! Enjoy using them! Watch out for that dog!! (You could maybe spray them with some bitter apple to keep him/her away-- but not sure how it would affect the fabric).
ReplyDeleteThey look absolutely brilliant Judith!! Love the cordoroy you added in. Now, take the dog (gently) by the ears and have a word with him. No more chewing of quilted goods - ever!
ReplyDeleteFabulous! I love the corduroy too!
ReplyDeleteVery ingenious, and very beautiful, and zips too! Well done. (Now just show the dog the sack and the bricks!).
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic! LOVE cord :-)
ReplyDeleteThese must look amazing in your room - they're all so lovely! Flying Blind is sure into tough love! But yes, keep Poppy away from these beauties.
ReplyDeleteThese pillows are great Judith! I would love to see a tutorial for making them!
ReplyDeleteThese pillows are all so lovely
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful!! In addition to great fabric choices, your cushions are so nicely made: great corners, excellent zips...I'm so impressed :)
ReplyDeleteI want to thank you too for the sweet comment on my blog (enchanted bobbin). I really appreciate it, and now I'm having fun exploring yours!
Now aren't they just the Bees Knees! Beautiful!
