Scrap Happy January 2020
Happy New Year – new decade – to all happy scrapers
the finished December scrappy cushion cover
as always, click on the image to enlarge
it was fun to include a Canada goose
the cushion is finished with piping made from hand cut bias binding
not as fat as I would have liked but that was all the fabric of that colour
the back is a sample of designer fabric
and the zipper is recycled from an old bag
it needs a filler cushion of the proper size
but the police are begging people not to drive on our icy/snowy roads so I didn’t drive across town to get one
and it is snowing again
here are the links to other scrap happy people, taken from Kate’s blog
they generally post on the 15th of each month

Wow — that seems like a perfect ScrapHappy project! And stay off the roads while it’s so snowy — the cushion insert can wait. 🙂

Sunny – I’m always working with scraps of this and that, sometimes the projects take a lot of time. Snow is melting.

Great pillow; I’m inspired to return to embroidery! (As if I need more projects. LOL)

I love, love, love this, especially the cross-stitch edging, which makes it look as if it had pointy edges. Beautiful zipper insertion, too. BTW, we have one new member, Sunny, and you can pick up her link from my post, just out.

There is so much detail on that cushion! If I was sitting looking at it I would keep finding new things to enjoy.
