Birdie Cushion!

It's my beautiful big sister's birthday this week, so I made her a birdie cushion to match her recently decorated lounge!

Birdie Cushion for Gill Mar14
Looks good in my lounge too!
The birds are paper pieced using this pattern.

I gave her the cushion today and it went down a treat (as did the tea and rhubarb and apple scones!).

Happy birthday lovely lady!

And for those of you local to me, you might be interested to know that the fabric I used to make the cushion is on sale in my classes, together with a growing selection of designer quilters cotton, Essex Linen and now Kona Solids too!

    lovely birthday present, must master paper piecing as I am missing so many lovely things. A very pretty lampshade too and those scones sound really yummy

    Your sister's smile says it all. Very pretty and cheery wee cushion. Looks like you might have been out my direction for your scones too.

    love those birds, a sign of spring to come. They would look good in a quilt with little pippi longstocking!

    I'm afraid that you're going to have to break some bad news to your sister...she's going to have to part with her cushion as I need it! I also need your floor lamp - you can put them in the same parcel ;o)
