You know how these things work, you see something online, then you see it in a shop, you read about it on other blogs, your friend also has one, what next? Well naturally you also want it. I am not immune to that, not even when it comes to fabrics.
For quite some months now, we have seen Annela Hoey’s first collection, Sherbet Pips, all over the internet. Quilts, blankets, bags, dresses, throws, placemats, you name it, someone has done it. I have been cutting and packing quite a lot of these fabrics and have already sold out some of the designs (yes I have kicked myself several times because I haven’t kept even a tiny scrap of them for myself).
So before it was too late, I grabbed a few fabrics and cut some pieces to make a cushion. I must say that I truly enjoy working with these fabrics. I think that the tiny details are the best part, like the small mice or the snails that almost seem like they have sneaked in the design.
Inspired by a quilt pattern in the book "Simplify with Camille Roskelly"
I did however get stuck in choosing the fabric for the back of the cushion. It was getting a bit too pink for me, but my dear friend Nicola (more about this talented girl very soon) suggested going for Kona in Rich Red or Skipping square dots in Candy Blue. I think I am going to go for the red.
In a moment of madness I thought of adding piping, but I don’t think it needs it and I just want to finish it. I have this feeling that it is going to become sort of a “comfort pillow” that I will drag with me everywhere I go.
