completed cushion!

Yesterday I finished this applique cushion. The idea came from here

I have combined hand and machine embroidery, and I love the result.





looks great on the bed
Not sure if it looks right on this sofa, but I love the sofa, I got it a couple of month's ago from a antique fair, not a real bargain but i haggled lots for it, and got it delivered!
The covering is all hand stitched - it must have taken months




It will take pride of place in our new bedroom, but for now it is sitting at the end of our bed.
I am off to London tomorrow to visit my dentist and then I am meeting some special people for lunch :-)
