I had to take the padding out to give it a good soak and it has cleaned up rather well....
My dilemma is do I just replace the filling and sow it up or do I turn it into two round cushions with plain backs.
I'm leaning towards the second idea as I think I'll end up with two rather lovely pads for my two pine chairs.
I also found a lovely pure wool blanket at the weekend, now washed, on my bed keeping me nice and cosy... I love the fact it is reversible... it's actually green but try as I might it always comes out aqua for some unknown reason...
I've been knitting flowers to turn into broaches, this will be a spiky Dailia when it is sown up... not sure it shows up that well but the petals are 3 lengths...
Crocheting egg cosies for found egg cups...
....and knitting some fingerless gloves using 4 needles with some wool I recycled from an old cardi...
Next over the knee socks... maybe...
I just love these flowers, not sure what they are, I am useless at keeping labels which is a shame but this was still flowering up until a week or so ago before the really heavy frost and ice.
I'll miss them till they come again...
Very busy bee, I love the patchwork pads. Very sweet, I just bought some material which would make lovely patchwork.
ReplyDeleteMy sock making is moving along, it's challenging. Off to bed now, goodnight!
hiya- thanks for your kind comment, the mystery object turned out to be rug making tools. Isn't blogging great!
ReplyDeleteI love the cushions- definitely perfect for the pine chairs; pine and patchwork, a match made in heaven!
Your blog and photos are so lovely, hope to catch up again
