I have been busy finishing things I started some time ago. Some have been on my blog but they were never actually completed, most needed binding hand sewing down, not my favorite job.

I also made two new cushions that I am really pleased with. I did not want them to be to puffy with bought cushion pads, plus they are not square which always presents a problem, I sewed layers of polyester wadding together to get the thickness I like.

One of the on-line groups I belong to have a machine embroidery swap that has to include a zipped item made in the hoop. Having really struggled with a pattern [ seemed like bits were missing and only half the zip was sewn in using the hoop,] I fiddled with it and made the little purse that will be going in the post on Monday to my secret sister in the USA. Not sure I will be using the pattern again.
