I love making cushion covers.
Not only are they quick to make but they also allow me to experiment with different fabric combinations that I may not typically use in a quilt.
The black and white strip is a Japanese print from Sevenberry.
I’m not sure of the multi-colour spot maker but have been informed that it is barkcloth.
The green print is from ‘old new fabric collection’.
My favourite grey honeycomb Kei.
The above prints were purchased from Patchwork on Central Park.
…and the lovely pink check was given to me by Amy after one of her trips to Japan.
This cushion is for the ‘Pillow Talk‘ swap, my partner does not have a blog but described her taste in fabric as ‘eclectic’, ‘modern’ and to ‘have fun’.
These are pretty wide parameters to work with so fingers crossed she likes what I have created!

Well you can tick all those boxes Kate – eclectic, modern and fun all rolled into a fabbo cushion I'd say! Love it (and so wish I'd seen the next round of pillow talk – d'oh!)

You can do no wrong! I would never in a million years have dreamt up that fabric combo – but it works a veritable treat.

super cute! I love sevenberry fabrics. One of my local quilt shops carries it and I just stocked up — unfortunately they're going out of business, :(
Beautiful!
I love it. That barkcloth is so pretty.
That is one gorgeous cushion! I love how all the patterns and colours lead your eye all around it.
It's beautiful Kate.
Very nice – I particularly love that multi-colour spot maker fabric – it's very cool.
I'm sure she'll love it, Kate. I'm also enjoying cushion making at the mo…super quick sewing gratification ;-)
