| Paper Pieced Wreaths designed by Kristy from Quiet Play |
I have been participating in the
Sew Seasonal Blog Hop hosted by Kristy from Quiet Play and Alyce from Blossom Heart Quilts.
When I saw this cushion from
Janice at Better Off Thread I wanted to make one too! I had some great fabric that I thought would be perfect for the background and backing. While I adore traditional Christmas colours, I love non traditional colours just as much!

| Look at that sweet book! |
I swapped the Santa hats for wreaths and chose a white background so that the wreaths wouldn't get 'lost'.
Some Vintage Modern jelly roll strips were perfect for the wreath borders and the binding.

I am quite proud of my free motion quilting! Thanks Janice for your inspiration.

So our couch has its first cushion! Very timely, as we also put up our Christmas tree today(after a mice 'ate' our old one!)!
It looks beautiful! I am loving all the fabrics you chose. You did an awesome job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Janice. My pillow wouldn't exist if it hadn't been for yours!
DeleteGood thing you live so far away, because I need a second pillow to go with my first!
DeleteJust beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteLooks great Jeneta! Love the fabric choices!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kristy. Just can't thank you enough for your patterns!
DeleteOh wow! It's great! You've been very busy making so many - good job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Alyce. I'm all done now (well, actually I thought I might make a few bits and pieces after Christmas for next year's gifts!)! Participating in the Sew Seasonal Blog Hop was a gift to myself - I have thoroughly enjoyed it, though my floors, ironing and a few other household chores have paid the price!!
DeleteThat backing fabric is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI loved it as soon as I saw it!
