That is really gorgeous and you have made a great work not only of the stitching but also the pillow. I find it hard to think that this is the first pillow you have made. Well done on both parts of the project.

Thank you all so much for your lovely comments about my pillow. I found a really well explained finishing tutorial which gave me the confidence to have a go. This is the link to it. http://itsdaffycat.blogspot.com/2011/11 ... html#links

I've just been catching up with this thread. You've done some lovely work and I especially love the cushion. I can see why you enjoyed stitiching it so much. Well done. :applesauce: :applesauce:
