Applique Cushion Progress

I showed you last week the start of my applique cushion with the mitred corners that I have been making at the In Stitches classes.  Last night it was time to get down to the nitty gritty and put my satin stitch practice to use on those LOVE letters.



Not so shabby eh?  A wee bit wobbly in those inner circles of the 'o' and 'e' but not bad for someone so inexperienced in this technique.



Today I finished the wee hearts and flowers and added buttons for a bit of interest.  Although I wish I had had bigger buttons for those flowers, I'm pleased with the overall effect and am really excited that next week should now see the cushion finished and ready to take up residence in my little "girly" corner of the house!

  5. Brilliant job, and so pleased you are allowed a wee girlie corner. Though this cushion should not be hidden in any corner. It should sit proudly out in the open.
