The quilting on my silk cushion is now complete. What remains is to construct the cushion. I will use the envelope method without a zipper. That should be easy and quick, so the next, and final, post will be of a completed project.
Many thanks to Jacquie Harvey for the design, (hers has Suffolk Puffs or Yo-yos, as you can see)
and to Fay Maxwell, whose Crewel and Unusual style inspired my work with embroidery on felt, shisha mirrors and Indian Kantha style quilting.
Here is the completed flimsy:

Sightings of Spring.
Wisteria in full bloom.
Yaizakura, a kind of cherry blossoms with masses of dark pink petals. Blossoming late, the leaves are also opening.
Very pretty! I have the instructions and may start my own version.
ReplyDeleteAll of your sightings of spring are so pretty, from your gorgeous handwork to the beautiful blossoms. I haven't seen wisteria near me yet - maybe soon.
ReplyDeleteYour photos of cherry and Wisteria blooms are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAnd your completed silk flimsy is a beauty in color and stitching, thanks for sharing.
I'm inspired.
I usually use the envelope method for cushions. The wisteria looks lovely, I've not had any success growing that.
ReplyDeleteA plethora of beautiful blossoms and flowers, from the fabulous flimsy through the beautiful plants. :-)))
ReplyDeleteThat's a great success. The silk fabric responds rather well to the kantha quilting, doesn't it!
ReplyDeleteYour silk flimsy looks lovely. Here we are getting ready for Autumn.
ReplyDeleteSuch texture you got with your quilting!
