It was my friends birthday, and she LOVES Cath Kidston and cushions so i thought i'd try doing some thing with that, heres what i got:
back detail hand embroidery
i found the fabrics from ebay on this awesome shop, has all kinds of fabric, but i really liked these and i knew she would too.
Basically it was inspired by this painting that Isobel did which was a black silhouette of a stags head on a flowery background. ANYWAY, i am now obsessed with stags heads, i want to make it into my logo :)
what else? i messed up the edging, the corners didnt fit properly.. so it doesn't lie flat,,, i guess thats something i'll have to work on.. just need to work out why it happened..
Doing the embroidery was a pain in arse the, then i suddenly occurred to me, that here was a time when my embroidery loop would be dang useful. My gran brought it for me YEARS ago for my cross stitch but i never found it useful for that, nice to finally use it :)
i did, however, look like a RIGHT granny :)
