I realized that I haven't posted in a month! Still no workshop access, so not much going on in the woodworking department. Still raining off and on here, so no reliable working outside, alas. Meanwhile I keep plugging away on this cushion. It is slow going, and slow work takes time. The picture shows about 2/3 of it, I'm doing the pattern now and will fill it all in when that is done.
Wow! That is gorgeous! I really like the mix of design elements :)
ReplyDeleteIt is going to be great when it is done - already it looks like a million!
