I have been 'umming and arrghing about what to enter into Jennifer's amazing Summer Sewing Contest...
Browsing back through my recent photos, it seemed a bit obvious really...
My paper-pieced Denyse Schmidt - Union Jack cushion, started in Lynne's class of Fat Quarterly Retreat on Jubilee weekend, the epitome of the British Summer (rain obligatory).
I love this cushion, it brings a smile to my otherwise grumpy face now that the Retreat glow has faded and the bunting is looking bedraggled from all the shocking weather we have had recently.
If you haven't checked out any of the other entries in the Home Decor category, please do, Lindsey has already entered the most beautiful cushion/pillow in the universe!
For anyone interested, a special Retreat edition of Fat Quarterly will be available to buy here which includes the templates for this cushion; and a load of other amazing stuff too.
Sorry to the regulars who have only just seen this, and welcome to anyone new in town coming over from Jennifer's for the first time.
Tomorrow, I promise something completely different... probably xxx
