One Stitch At A Time Cushion Completed

It's finally finished! This is my latest project, a gorgeous cushion that will look really pretty  displayed in my sewing studio. This was bought online as a kit from Little Quilt Store - the pattern is One Stitch at a Time, by the Australian designer Lynette Anderson. The centre panel has been hand embroidered using Valdani variegated stranded cotton. The hand applique was app prepared using a method that involves applique paper, a fabric glue pen and Apliquick rods - the applique shapes are then all stitched into place using a very fine Aurifil 80wt thread. A plump feather cushion pad was slipped inside the cushion cover and there was  just time for a quick photoshoot yesterday evening before I went to my Tuesday evening sewing group.
