Butterfly cushion

So pleased to report that I have finished the butterfly cushion for baby Willow.  This was made to match the Gwen Marston style quilt I made for my daughter to gift when Willow was born on Valentine's Day.


This is the quilt:

And here is the cushion.  I decided the butterfly wings needed to be made from scrappy strips. The background is Moda Essential dots, the fabric I used in the Owl quilt, that way keeping down the costs.

I felt the lime green plain fabric on the top left wing stuck out like a sore thumb, so I embroidered little flowers on it to soften it.

So, here's the whole package I shall be handing over on Friday afternoon:

I'm pleased with everything so I hope Mum  Nina is too!  Always a worry when someone asks you to make a particular thing!

Another finish, Hoorah

So pleased that I have finished the Funky Owl cushion to go with the Owl quilt I finished a few days ago. This is a commission for a little girl called Bethany.

I designed the appliqued owl for the cushion and based it on the owls in the quilt's feature fabrics. However I added two little ears to make it look more owl-like.
I am very pleased with the result as I think he looks like a young owl with a cheeky expression!

And here he, resting on the quilt.

I now have to design and make another cushion with a Butterfly motif in colours to match a Gwen Marston style Strippy quilt I already made and gave to Bethany's baby sister.

Only have a few days to make this as I hope to meet up with the girls' Mum next week to hand everything over.
