I made a JRT cushion for our sofas a while back and have found a few minutes to finish the other ones that I cut out and prepared at the same time.

I love the striped linen daschund one & I’m really tempted to keep it but we don’t have a daschund (yet!) so it’s not necessary, really.

Silhouette appliqué is simple and effective and with a huge soft spot for dogs, these canine cushions are becoming my favorites.

My sis & friends have labs and we also have friends with a beautiful lurcher, all of which would make fabulous silhouettes.

They will have to go onto my huge the list of ‘to dos’.

Once I’ve finished the jungle chums blanket which is my next unfinished project to get done, I need to get on with a patchwork quilt requested of my by a very special girl what seems like a very long time ago.

I think I need to give up work, it’s definitely getting in the way.

cushions and lavendar bags

I have a huge collection of fabric remnants and offcuts as well as recycled clothes and pieces that I have picked up at car boot sales, been given or acquired some how and it is time to start making them into things.

Some of the pieces of really nice linen fabric in hot pinks and lime greens have been in mind for making cushions for a while and this weekend was the first chance in an age that I got around to it.

 

lavendar bags

They are the simplest thing to put together and they were done within a few hours, including my ‘tinyinc’ labels being sewn onto the backs of the cushions.

These are earmarked as gifts but I think I’ll spend some time over the holidays making some more.
