somebody cover me.

I'm about to make my first ever cushion. I've made a middle bit with an embroidery and now I'm making the cushion. I don't have a pattern but I looked at another cushion and I think I know how to do it. Who am I kidding - this is total guess work!! Wish me luck.

I'll take a photo of the completed masterpiece.

Good luck Rhonda! You can do it! Can't wait to see the pic.

Okay, it's a couple of hours later and HERE IT IS!! ::trumpets::

I usually judge the success of my sewing not just by how it looks, which is important, but also but the amount of unpicking I do. I only had to unpick one bit.

The colour isn't true but you'll get the general idea.

How cute!! Is that your own design in the middle?

Oohlala! I love it & the saying. The stripes line up, the braiding around, stitching....you did real good.

Rhonda...

you did a GREAT job!

W/out a pattern - I'd say you know what you're doing.

Keep up the good work!

Great job Rhonda!

yes, it's my design but it's probably not going to make it to the craft exhibition. I did this one to practise my script. The designs that will go to the exhibition are script and a pattern of some sort. Thanks everyone for your support and kind comments. It means a lot to me.
