I did a cushion swap recently and this is the one I made and sent off.....
I think these seagulls are really quite sweet .....
I 'made' the background fabric from small blocks of different light fabrics.... so that and the quilting gives it a bit of texture - pebbles on the ground for the beach... and feathers above...
the back has an envelope opening with a couple of wooden buttons to fasten....
Alison loves reproduction prints and I hope she likes this modern design using them.....
The pattern for this cushion is from Homespun No 103 Vol 12 No.12 and is a design by Claire Turpin ...
The other project with reproduction prints I am doing is the 9 patch swap.. these are May's blocks ....
...my little pile is growing....
Righto, Gotto Go... it's June now so another set of blocks is required!

Lovely idea to stitch your background and the quilting is very effective - and those birds, they are so cheerful and would bring a smile every time someone looked at them.
