A tower of cushions

A tower of cushions


New sofas at the beginning of March meant new cushions were needed!


Amy Butler Nigella Cushions



Husband had recently suggested I make "something useful" (as if my quilts aren't useful!)  So the new sofas gave me an excuse to cut into the hoarded decorator weight fabric.


Amy Butler Nigella Cushions



I have spent the last couple of weeks sat on said new sofas hand sewing the binding onto these (I am very slow at hand sewing!)


Joel Dewberry Ginseng cushions



Fabrics (all from the stash): Amy Butler Nigella & Joel Dewberry Ginseng from Millie Moon
Bindings are various Kona solids from Simply Solids 

New sofas with new cushions

    I have some of the Nigella stashed too, great use of it! I had a laugh at your husband's comment "make something useful!" Ha!!

    Your pillows are beautiful! I'm sure it must feel like you have a whole new room now!

    Funny, when I *do* make throw pillows, my husband tells me they're *not* useful, LOL. (He and my kids believe throw pillows are for throwing. *sigh*) Note, however, that it has never stopped me from making more of them! :-)

    The cushions are gorgeous. Love the way you snuck a very 'useful' quilt into the final photo too.

    I don't think they really know what to say! Mine is trying to learn which is nice but they do need training!

    Great cushions and they contribute beautifully to your room!
