It has been sitting in pieces since I last posted about it, but this weekend I finally got around to putting it all together and I can't believe how easy it was- why I have I not made a cushion before?!
I went with option 4, from this post, (omg I can't believe that was november, I have been so lax with this!) and Laura's suggestion of swapping the white and beige hands around and I think the little white hand stands out a bit better this way.
After outlining all the prints with a long running stitch, I traced and backstitched a signiture of each grandchild next to their hand.
A quick panel for the back flap with the date, so we can all marvel at how small Maddie's hands are in a couple of years time, and I was done!
Not only have I finished something, but it was something on my Winter Stitching List too- woohoo!!!
Now just to sit down and plan out all the things that I must absolutely get done before Christmas, time for some finger crossing.

Good to get a tick on your winter stitching list eh?

ReplyDeleteAwesome! This would also make a great Mothers' day gift.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable idea - I'd have to figure out how to fit five on their for my parents (well, at least just my five kids!). You did a great job!
