Based on a Jacquie Harvey design,
I am making a cushion with embroidery on top of felt on a silk foundation.
This past week I have been working on the back, where I needed to cover an unsightly seam.
For better balance on the front I placed a few sparkly things here and there.
Among them bugle beads,
and a floral sequin.
Next week I will get started on the quilting.

Sightings of spring. I saw these flowers in the park one day. What are they called? Does anyone know?

Nice idea to use the coin! Great details on this piece.
The cushion is coming up nicely. Minute detailing on all the flowers and leaves. Is it granitos stitch next to the juggle beads? Granitos stitch is in my list for the next embroidery design.
A wonderful combination of silk, felt and embroidery. Your projects with threads and fabric are always so eye catching. I like the coin as a flower centre.
Could the flowers be primulas? I found online, a primula algida that looks similar.
That coin has a lovely motif on it - what a charming idea!
I love the idea of using a coin! I am going to have to steal this idea!
Lovely sightings of Spring. The pink flowers remind me of primroses but they usually have quite large leaves so they may not be.
The coin idea is neat but that will get expensive if you use too many of them. 1 yen coin maybe... but the 1 yen definitely isn't as pretty!
