Christmas present finished!

I'm really proud of myself. I've finally finished a whole cushion cover, which looks like it may not fall apart right away, unlike my first effort. This was meant to be a Christmas present for Alan, but it's actually taken me five months to complete this! It's completely handsown, so it was bound to take some time to produce.


I'm quite pleased with the back. Alan donated some old shirts to my fabric collection, and suddenly I saw a way of recycling one of them:


Here are some close-ups. You can tell I bought these fabrics back in the autumn. Perhaps, one day, I will have created enough cushion covers so that I can rotate them per season!


Look at that careful quilting!


Yay. Mission well accomplished. And now Alan finally has a nice cushion to sit on.
