Another day,another cushion top.



I was so pleased with my paper pieced cushion top in Amy Butler fabric that I decided to make another in a completely different fabric-  in 2010 my daughter and me went to the Lancaster Quilt Museum, PA, and she bought me a set of fat quarters in Civil war style fabric designed and made for the museum. I used them to make my parents some log cabin cushions this year, and decided to use the same fabrc for a pieced cushion.





As I didnt get round to a pre xmas blog, here are the other cushions I made 

And finally a little bit of colour to brighten up the grey and gloomy days! These are some pin cushions I made for gifts and just because I like making them.....



I am thinking it is about time I got some things into my Etsy shop which has been dormant for a long time!!

    The cushion front you are making looks lovely - I really like the colour combinations and the design too. I bet the recipients were happy with their pincushions - so sweet!

    Hi Clare- definately hooked- I foiund the pattern in an old patchwork book picked up in a charity shop. I love the way you can get such different looks depending on the fabric !The modern Kaffe fasset one looks completely different to this civil war rero look.
