Two presents down!

1 07 2010

The second cushion was completed last night.  I would have taken a photo but the camera is packed ready for the holiday!  So instead I’ve knocked something up in paint to give a rough idea of what I eventually went with.  Thank you Teresa for you suggestions – I was going to have a play with a few of them but I accidently cut the butterfly material leaving me with little option about how to proceed!

The final outcome has a square of the butterfly material with zigzag stitching round the edge and has butterfly material for the back.  Depending on how brave I’m feeling I might pick out some of the butterflies with embroidery between now and Christmas.





One Christmas present down… Alot more still to go!

Cushion front

Cushion back

I finished it!  I’m still tossing ideas around for the other cover.  It’s going to have a butterfly theme and I have some lovely butterfly fabric for the back and some lilac fabric for the background of the front.  However I’m torn between having one huge butterfly or a few smaller butterflies on top of the lilac…  I’m also torn between simple silhouettes or more decorated butterflies!  Thoughts would be greatly received!

In the meantime, enjoy a couple of flowers from our yard!

The second is actually a weed, but as it’s quite pretty we’re letting it stay for a little longer.

A birthday card...

...and a birthday present

A sneaky peak at an unrevealed project!
