I have finished my knitted cushion and am really pleased with it. The flash on the photo doesn't show the patterns too well but I love all the different textures of the squares. Inspired by Debbie Abrahams blanket pattern based on floor coverings. Apologies to Debbie for the addition of the Dalek but it was a special request from Jenny. (Dalek pattern from Ravelry)
I have really got the hang of ladder stitch for stitching the blocks together now and was surprised by the weight of the yarn when knitted up and put together. I would be a fantastic blanket but I haven't the patience to knit that many squares. The back of the cushion is fabric and my sewing machine coped very well with the challenge of sewing cotton and knitting together.
I have made yet another pinny from Leanne Beasley's Apron Strings pattern - I think this is the 7th or 8th.
This time I appliqued the name onto the pocket, instead of doing an embroidery. I drew the letters free hand and used my machine for the applique and was pleased at the result.Happy Quilting xx
