I have a lot of presents to make in the next week as well as bee blocks to complete. I feel a little overwhelmed with my sewing schedule and shared this with Trudi, Moria and Tanya at our get together last night. The advice was a) don't panic and b) write a list.
So armed with my list, and deciding what was going to be sewn today, I have spent the morning making a Liberty and Linen Wallflower cushion following this excellent tutorial.
This is number one on my list with a great big tick beside it.

| Liberty and Linen Wallflower cushion |
The cushion is long and thin and was an absolute horror to insert the pillow into it. As this is a birthday present for a friend, it won't be my job to take the pillow insert out when the cover requires washing and for that I am truly grateful!!!
It was not the most pressing item on my list however it was half completed and it feels good to have a finish today.
Now onto item two…

for a non lover of liberty, it's a cute cushion lol... I've got to get on and finish my bed bolster, I'm planning on having my opening half way so that I can push half in and then force the other half in.... you got a finish and that's fab :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful cushion! Now go and kick the rest of the lists bum!
ReplyDeletewell done - it's satisfying ticking things off x
ReplyDeleteGreat work, and I know what you mean about a busy list feeling a bit overwhelming, good luck with the rest! :o)
ReplyDeleteFinishes always help when you have a list... Lovely cushion :-)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cushion, love those fabrics. I am currently wearing my liberty infinity scarf from the fabric I got from you at FQR
ReplyDeleteVery pretty gift and a satisfying tick off your list.
ReplyDeleteLove me a list, and a Liberty cushion!!!
ReplyDeleteYayyy, one big tick and such a pretty one too! Great start on that list :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful liberty! And ticks off lists are great, problem is I keep adding more items to the list than ticks!! Jxo
ReplyDeleteWell done on your first beautiful finish. One tick at a time, no panicking!
ReplyDeleteMmmm, liberty and linen? That's a big tick!
ReplyDeleteIf I can help with anything on your list tomorrow give me a yell, even if it's just a pile of pressing or cutting!
ReplyDeletePretty gift! Lucky friend!
ReplyDeletealways good to start with a pretty make. Now onwards and upwards...
ReplyDeleteSpooky, I made this one last month too! Looking beautiful x
ReplyDeleteI agree wholly with the calming power of writing lists! Also I made a pillow cover for one of those maternity pillows (that are about 3 feet long) when I was pregnant. I completely didn't think through how awkward it would be to take the cover on and off!! Thanks for linking up this week.
