My extended family welcomed 2 new editions in April, a little girl, Kate, and a little boy Lucas. I had planned on having the cushion covers that I was putting together finished by the time they were born. But you know how it goes, you think you have time and then life gets in the way. I managed to finish the pink one and then promptly forgot to send it up to my cousin. Brilliant I know! I even posted in here that I was sending it too! Oh Well better late than never! I sent it up last week, and here is a pic of that cover.
I was also in the process of putting together a bigger cushion cover for little Lucas. I managed to grab some more fat quarters for Lucas' cushion as I hadn't purchased enough to complete it by the time of his birth. I used a pattern by Hot Possum called "Big Owl". I used scrap fabrics from my stash mostly and the two new fat quarter pieces, and was quite pleased with how it all turned out. I almost forgot to take a pic of it before I posted it up last week. So here are the pics I took of the finished product.
I hand stitched all the Blanket Stitch around the letters and the pieces of the owl too.
I had fun making these two pieces, which is why I do this.
