Editorial Reviews

Whatever your style, there is a cushion just for you from traditional to contemporary, functional and fun. Use your stash, swap with friends, give as gifts or decorate your home. Patterns include techniques such as piecing, applique, embroidery and motifs. There are 12 pattens in total. For the traditionalist there is Starflower using three different techniques and having an envelope back, Blooming Season has an embroidered centrepiece that makes me think traditional but it was previously published in the book Stitch Zakka, Breeze is a Dresden Block and Social Circles has interlocking rings, often found on old quilts. The other designs are modern and some like the shaped cat heads are whimsical. Others have great applique designs and could also encourage you to personalize them by adapting them to an image of your cat, your street, which would add an even cosier touch to your home. It would not surprise me if you want to make them all. All designs have been published in other books.
