Blooming Flower Cushion

COLORS!!!

I finished my first ever pillow cover! I got my inspiration yet again from the wonderful Lucy of Attic24. Her "Blooming Flower Cushion" was so cheerful I knew I would have to give it a try. . .


This is yummy yarn. Feels great to work with!

 Aaaah ... the beginning ... 
 



 OOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

It GROWS!!!


I took a little break ... I had to wait for my pillow form to arrive! 
But as soon as it came ... it didn't take long for me to finish!

 Left: Back of Cushion - Right: BLOOMING FLOWER!
 COLORS!!!!

A shot of back of the flowery part - so basically behind the petals ... still pretty though!



 I know I'm posting a lot of pics ... but I just love these colorful petals!



Time to start stitching these suckers together!


If I had any skills with a sewing machine I would have lined each side and put in a zipper ... 
BUT I don't, so I just stitched it all the way up ... 
there is some extra stuffing so I think it will hold up over time. 





You know you want to snuggle this! 

 SOOOO HAPPY!!!!



I can't thank Lucy from Attic24 enough for her fantastic tutorial <-click here! 
She always can make the most daunting of patterns or projects easy to follow and fun to create!

Hope you all enjoyed my colorful creation!

    I love your pillow!!! I've been wanting to make one for awhile now but seeing your's has striked that fire higher and now I really want I make one. Gorgeous! I love your little Ernie bump, you'll miss it when it's gone but nothing can replace the happiness of having them in your arms. Where'd you get the pillow form from?

      Thanks! Glad you liked it! I ended up ordering it online from the onlinefabricstore.net. If I could use my sewing machine I would have rather just whipped one up! Would have been much less expensive. . . The pillow I ordered was pretty nice ... If not a little overstuffed but I'm hoping it will squish over time/love. Thanks for commenting! I love feedback :)

    Thanks for your lovely comment on my blog, what a nice one! I recognise that lovely cushion too, for the I Love Lucy Group, because I remember how much I liked your quilt too! Congratulations on the pregnancy and good luck with the blog. Looks like it's going great so far.
