Spring cushions at Mini Magpie

Firstly, thank you all for your welcome back messages! It feels good to be blogging again and catching up with everyone.

Well I promised to show you what those pastel ribbons were for...

I've used them to trim the backs of some Spring cushions.

A major fabric tidy up and sort out in the autumn made me realise how many lovely vintage fabrics I had featuring baby animals. They get their own drawer in my cabinet! Laying them out together they are all very pastel coloured and Spring like.

I decided pastel stripes and coloured vintage wool would make nice contrasting backs.

So a batch of 5 have been run up for Mini Magpie at Poundbury.

Some used the final pieces of favourite fabrics I've had for years which is always a bit of a shame.

So that's enough of the backsides are you ready for the full frontals?

We have pink rabbits, lambs and ducks...

Beige calves, foals and bunnies

Lilac lambs, piglets and a frog

Cream mischievous ducklings

and yellow kittens, pugs and kids

 

So I think that pretty much covers every farm animal you can think of!

I've still a couple of other fabrics to cut and will be topping up my stock for a couple of Spring events (see my sidebar).

 I love them all. Which is your favourite?
