My brother-in-law has a big birthday coming up, and I wanted to mail something to add to his collection of 'oh what on Earth is she going to send next time?' gifts!
Lots of Echino, a little Melody Miller plus some other bits and bobs from my stash, and I think suitably manly...
It finished up a little on the large size, 20" square, quilted with a mixture of Aurifil 40wt 2021, and the last few inches in Gutermann, because I ran out, dammit!
I have going from being totally unsure, to thinking it looks just the job; I just hope it receives a warm kiwi welcome.
Back tomorrow and I'll be linking up a little something with Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day, hopefully! xxx
Love it! Great mix of fabrics and I like the robots!

ReplyDeleteGreat cushion and shows how much sewing you do when you run out of Aurifil.
ReplyDeleteI am sure he will love it Hadley!
ReplyDeleteI'd be very pleased with this, really lovely and I love the leopard! My BILs rarely get a present, so i think he should consider himself lucky!
