First finish of the new year

Happy New Year all. I'm very happy to say I've finished my first project of the new year! Katy's consolation cushion is now complete and ready for posting out some time in the week :) I embellished the solid triangles with some hand stitching.
The finished cushion is around 16" square so I'll be sending it out without a cushion pad as I'm tight like that ;) I totally love this cushion and really hope that it will fit into Katy's home!
I used a co-ordinating linen for the back of the cushion and finished with a button. Unfortunately it's not very central so I'm applying my new favourite line that "asymmetric is all the rage"!
Hope you've all had a relaxing break. Catch you soon x

    Hi Kristyne welcome to the Nellie's niceties blog. :) And thank you for the compliment on the pincushion. :) You really can't go wrong with Aneela's lovely fabrics can you? And her latest line A walk in the woods hits all the right buttons for me! :)
