Productivity resumed!

I've just finished the next cushion, which is a much belated Christmas present for my lovely friend Emma.   I would normally be horrified at delivering a gift so late, but Emma is routinely at least 3 hours late every time I meet her....therefore I think she will be tolerant of my tardiness!

Emma is quirky and artistic, and just a little bit girly, so I hope this cushion fits the bill.  It's my own design, using "June song" from the Alexander Henry June Bug collection for the central panel and then adding fabrics from my stash to match the colours of the print.  The outer border and the back are a lime green chenille type furnishing fabric (left over from curtains!) and I've done an envelope back, but edged it with the pink print to make it a little more special :)

Hope you like it, Ems!

Oooo and I've also decided to enter this into the Bloggers pillow party that I found when blog surfing.  This is being hosted by Stitched in colour and this month judged by Red Pepper quilts. From browsing January's entrants, I can see that lots of very talented folk enter so competition will be stiff, but I thought it'd be fun to give it a go :)
