Scraptastic Tuesday - November Link Up



Oops I sort of got caught out today!  How could I forget ....but it is still #scraptastictuesday!

I have been busy joining up with my lovely friends @archiewonderdog and @ochil_lynz in their #christmascushionalong.  I am hoping to give every cushion in the house a Christmas makeover as a subtle sort of Christmas decoration...well maybe not that subtle!  I also want cushions to match my #nordikquilt. 

I made a teeny little 4.5" tree block in my Nordik quilt and there wasn't a great colour contrast so I thought I should have another go.  So I drew up some colour options on EQ...


And went with this @karenlewistextiles scrappy version....in a much bigger size.  I am not a huge fan of paper piecing but really quite enjoyed this.






And here it is quilted, by hand with cotton perle, and the cushion finished.


Check out my IG feed @nickyeglinton if you want to see more cushions - three are finished and one more to complete (though I may have to make some others)

So onto buiness.....

  2. Cushions are a great way to update your seasonal decor. Your tree pattern is perfect for the season.
