A Cuddle of Cushions

2010-04-23T13:27:00.000-07:00

As everyone knows,
it takes at least 2 to cuddle,
so these lovely cushions come in pairs.

These are all approximately
12"x12" (30cmx30cm)
All are made from
Moda 100% cotton Quilt fabric,
which is supersoft.

And all come complete with
cushion pads, made to measure,
filled with a soft Poly filling
which meets all safety standards.

All the covers are removable
and can be washed using
a cool handwash and mild detergent.

The Green Pair

This pair are various shades
of rich, leafy green, creams and pinks.

Each has a buttoned back, using a
mix of vintage and preused buttons.

And have appliqued hearts on
5 of the 9 squares

The Blue Pair

This pair are in soft blue
and cream
with shades of an "almost red" pink

This pair are the prettiest blue,
mixed with cream and an
"almost red" pink.
Even though the main colour
is blue, they tone well with
greens, pinks and reds.

Blue have now sold, thank you.

The Pink Pair

This pretty pair is bound to be
a winner with all pink lovers,
with shades from deepest wine to
pale heathers and florals.
I've used a tiny piece of checked fabric
to give just a little contrast to the
main colours, which also include
creams and greens.

The buttons are a mix of vintage and new,
toning beautifully with the fabrics.
Along with the apllique work,
I've used various patterns
of machine stitching
to enhance the patchwork.

Pink have now sold, thank you xx

The Soft Green Pair

The colour of this pair is truly lovely.
It has come out quite well in the photgraphs,
shades of green softened with
a hint of blue tone.
It blends well with so many other colours,
especially pink.

Which is why I chose to make the backs
of this pair a bit differently,
by using solid, rather than mixed colours.
the choosing buttons of the opposite shade.
The mix of florals, birds and hearts
make for a completely fresh, yet cosy, look.

All of the cushions have my own label
sew just above the buttons on the under-flap.

When you recieve your cushions
you might need to pop off
the covers to iron out any creases
made due to packaging,
and to give the cushion pad
a good shake.

Ordering any of these cushion is easy.
Just select the colour title, and email me.
Contact details are on the sidebar.
Green and Soft Green still available.

Each pair costs £15, including P&P in the UK.
