Four new cushions in total now, just one more to re-cover.
The two larger ones are made with a furnishing fabric called Pohutakawa that I picked up on special in Spotlight yesterday. The soft green matches well (I took my tote bag to the shop with me so I could find something with a big pattern that would complement the Comma fabrics). I think it's cool how the flower shape/pattern echoes the motifs in the Comma designs too - serendipity!
Everything (with a warm batting inside it) has the Rumbles seal of approval of course! (Bess, in the background, would just approve of being allowed inside at all!)
Of course normally I would not have so much going on one sofa but as you can see the second sofa is kinda full already (is like this most days of the holidays/weekends) so I will spread some of the cushions across that as soon as a space becomes available..."KIERAN! Take a break already!!"
A-ha! Human-free zone...here are less cluttered views:
Great post and pictures (I cannot resist a cat in a blog photo!). I'll be pinning your cushions as well, really lovely!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Such a thrill to think someone wants to pin my work! Have a good week!
DeleteThose cushions and quilt look great! I love the comma fabrics, great patterns to show them off.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I still have quite a few Comma remnants to deal with before I get it out of my system! Have a good week!
DeleteI pinned your cushions too - they are beautiful. I love the straight line quilting - it's different, and I always need inspiration for quilting.
ReplyDeleteGosh, I am quite flattered to think other crafters are pinning MY work, very exciting! I am thrilled to be able to inspire - the straight line quilting was a success - I had a quilt-shop staffer admire it on my tote bag last weekend too! Have a good week!
DeleteWow! What a pop all your quilty work added to your living area! LOVE that they are all being used. I agree, the fabrics are a perfect accent to your living area.
ReplyDeleteThanks Valerie - I am just wondering if I should create an outfit for my son in the same fabrics so he really fits in with the decor (but it's back to school again so hopefully he won't look like such a permanent fixture on the sofa!)
DeleteHave a good week!
The pillows are so pretty! Love all those fun patterns and textures.
ReplyDeleteThank you! They have really given the lounge a lift for the winter!
DeleteLove your cushions - especially the log cabin style one, really bold and cheery! It's fun to see that you NZers call them 'cushions' and not pillows too - pillows go on the bed, right, haha!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Yes, I am getting very muddled between cushions and pillows - all the Nth American blogs I follow use pillows so I am now finding I am using both words! Thanks for visiting!
DeleteLove everything about these pillows. The quilting is copy-worthy, and I'm trying it on a table runner right now. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGreat to know I may have inspired someone else! Have fun!
