Man It's Christmas!

Happy Boxing Day everyone! 

Did you have a good Christmas Day?  I did - but more of that later in the week.

Well I couldn't show you the Christmas makes for dear husband before now, as I wanted there to be a little bit of a surprise going on.

So here we have a partner for the Man Quilt...





Using the remaining charms and some of the curved corner scraps, I thought this would do the business.  The back is the same Kona Coal and pin-striping as the quilt.  I lined the cover with some deco weight, what was I thinking when I bought it?, cream damask and used almost all of my remaining Bliss dots for the binding.  It takes a 16" cushion pad, and it got the happy reception I'd hoped for x

I couldn't leave him without a little felt makery too could I eh?...


This is actually a badge/brooch or whatever a gentleman prefers to call it - it measures almost 5" wide, and makes me laugh, (more than the real one he sported for Movember!).

Don't worry, he also received a lot of things he actually wanted too :)

    That is all I have to say about giving your husband a moustache for Christmas.
    Love it!

    Better that you gave him a mustache than vice versa! The cushion is fab and I am not surprised he loved it. Hope you are continuing to enjoy yourself!

    Your cushion is wonderful and the mustache is too funny! I haven't ventured into decor weight fabrics yet-- I'll save that for after I attempt a zipper which is on my list for 2012. Glad your Hubby was happy with his homemade makes!
