I couldn't resist buying and embellishing some more cushion covers. The simplest was the blue and white 'sampler' design, I used a stitch directory and worked various stitches in lines across the cover. I love how gentle and simple it looks as a design. The large rose motif was probably the most challenging, but it was interesting to work with a knitting yarn, it has produced a lovely soft surface on the satin stitch. I have already written about the 'doodle' cushion at the top here. Safe to say that it's all about bright colours and varying stitches.
Cushion covers are such a nice thing to work on, they immediately add a touch of individuality to a room and they are just the right size for a striking design. It's special too to have something that has been hand made, these all took a lot of time and consideration, and I hope it shows in the final product. I'm sure it won't be long before I succumb to the temptation to get hold of another one to work on. It seems, though, that our cushion quota is almost filled so I might need to rehome some before they start to breed again.
I'd love to actually sell some of these, so if you might be interested in some one of a kind homewares please let me know and we can discuss a custom order or you could even purchase one of these... I can produce these for between £25 - £40 depending on the style and requirements
