WIPW - A New Cushion

The second Work In Progress Wednesday report this year.

Sunday Stitch School Stitch Sampler

I needle turned down the pink oval that was at a basted stage last week. I added two more ovals, #52 Underside Couching Stitch and #111 E Laced Edging Stitch.



Knitting

The leg warmers I started knitting during the New Year holiday are now warming my ankles!


New Velveteen Cushion

Once upon a time, long ago, I made a quilt of fake patchwork fabric, i.e. the print is a pieced rhombus pattern, and velveteen in pink and grey. The quilting was done in metallic silver thread.



I kept the remnants to make a matching cushion. A new year's resolution for 2022 was to finally take action.

As I also want to use up other remnants from my stash, I pieced together odd bits of Japanese fabric for the backing.

Piecing, sandwiching and basting were done first, of course.





Then I started on the quilting. To mirror that of the quilt I used ordinary Running Stitch for quilting the rhombus pattern. 
For the border,  I made an oval cross pattern, which I quilted in Feather Stitch. 
Both silver and gold threads have been used.

And it is so satisfying to knock something off the to-do list, isn't it! Especially when it is turning out so well..

A wonderful Post of your handworks. Nice to know your legs will be warmer during the cold weather. The cushion looks fabulous- I'd love to run my hands (clean) over it. The Feather stitched pattern is beautiful.

Wow! What a beauty you've made of the fake patchwork pattern!
