One of those days....

This morning I woke up and decided I was going to make this little cushion. I have a huge custom order quilt and pillowcases to make over the next couple of weeks and thought I wanted a nice little project to get me back in the groove. You see, it's been quite a while since I have actually sewn something. I realised today when looking for my safety pins and found them in the tin I took to the handmade expo in November, that it has been that long since I made a quilt. Whoa.

After lots of swearing, calls out to my crafty friends, (thank you sooo much Marg!) broken feed dogs (fixed by my handy Mister!), and countless cups of coffee, my little cushion was born. Phew. Now you can all bask in her glory (just don't look too closely at her dodgy stitching!). I think I now need a lie down!

Dodgy stitching??? Can't see any dodgy stitching. It looks very fresh & pretty- makes me think spring is coming soon!

A very pretty cushion and I can't see any dodgy stitching at all. Great to see you getting your groove back!
