Little Red Cushions.
Posted on | September 4, 2017 | 13 Comments
I think I have been working away on these little stitcheries over quite a few years. They are the ones I tended to pick up and take with me when I needed a portable project. These are the Christmas tree design.
I have completed the set of 12 stitcheries from a pattern by Lynette Anderson called Sweet Christmas Ornaments.
But I decided to do a few of the trees so I could play around with fabric choices. Instead of settling on one fabric as I first thought I would, I am now going to make them with a mixture of fabrics as I do like that look.
The little cushions end up at about 6 inches wide. I have noticed two things in this photo. I need to go back and finish stitching some branches. And I also may need to put a dab of glue behind the buttons to stop them moving.
Each pattern came with a wooden button and I then purchased an extra button set to make more.
I had to go hunting in the button jar for extra s for these cushions. Of course I had a lot of gift shaped buttons but they were mostly too big. Thankfully these two worked out okay.
I have the rest of the stitcheries ready to go, but then was distracted with some quilting.
It is very cold outside today so I am pleased to have a quilt on my lap that needs binding.
Hope your week runs smoothly.
Cheers, Karen

Those are really adorable. You do find the cutest things to work on!
These are so cute! I love the red and white–so classic and beautiful, and of course the buttons are the perfect little finish.
These are adorable . . . they would make perfect little gifts to give to sewing friends. Thank you for the idea and inspiration.

Your little cushions are lovely, Karen.
They are all just as cute as they can be. The buttons are a nice finishing touch!
These are so sweet and have made me start thinking about Christmas….it isn’t far away!!! Of course, I think that you are always thinking about it!!!
Honestly, I didn’t notice the unfinished tree until you mentioned it, but it has it’s own individuality, so I’d think before finishing. The cushions are fun and interesting. I’d put ribbon on and hang them on the tree as ornaments the kiddos can touch!
Aren’t they the sweetest!? I like the unfinished one- gives it a quirky look!
