My crumb cushion is finished and I'm really pleased with how it's turned out. It's bright, happy and has a home right there on my couch.
I was out with my friend Lianne (who is new to blogging and you can see her blog here) during the week and we had a little look around Kmart. Honestly, I can always find something to buy at Kmart. On this day, it was a pretty new tea towel. As a tea towel, the fabric isn't brilliant and probably not great at drying dishes, but it was perfect for the backing for my new cushion.
I'm glad that I had a go at making a crumb project, but I'm also happy to report that after not emptying my bin in the sewing room for the weekly collection, it's now empty and all of the little scraps which I didn't use have all gone away.
Time to start fresh.
Looks great! I love crumb quilting too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Daryl. It's such fun, though I really should be more organised and keep the teeny pieces beside my machine to use as leaders and enders. Have a great week!
DeleteGreat looking cushion and what a great idea for your backing - always good to 'think outside the box' when it comes to crafting :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Lesley. It was fun to use the tea-towel for the backing. I showed a friend who asked if I could make her some cushions for her couch. I told her I'd be happy to teach her how to make them for herself and then she could make as many as she wanted.
DeleteMy crumb quilt project is all over my quilting room at this moment! I have so much fun sewing these little scraps together!
ReplyDeleteYou can have a treasure hunt around your sewing room when you want to put your crumb blocks together :)
DeleteI love your cushion! What a wonderful idea! It is so bright and cheerful, and I love the quilting too. I am going to try to make one also. Thanks for a great idea! Carol in Texas
ReplyDeleteThank you Carol. It was a lot of fun to make and to feel like I wasn't just throwing fabric away. Have a lovely week :)
DeleteLove all the colors.
ReplyDeleteSuper sweet Crumb project, Anorina! Enjoy your new (revesable) couch cushion.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much. It was great to make but now I'm free to play with bigger pieces of fabric :)
DeleteOh, I love your crumb cushion, and the quilting is very pretty too. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThank you Frederique. It was a lot of fun to create :)
