Different cushions of the same design

This is the first cushion that I did using this design.Mind you,sometimes it takes me weeks to make the design . Choosing the right color of ribbons and threads is another tough decision to make !

The cushion is light green and measures 16" x 16".



I used a multicolor sewing thread from SULKY forthe lattice work in the center of the design.Matching multicolored beads are then added .
The second version is a round 14" in diameter.I change the color of the roses , the lattice design at the center is stitched using pink multicolored embroidery floss from DMC.
The fabric is from cotton damask.I have a tough time doing the double frills since the fabric is thick.Instead of the normal sewing thread, I had to use the thread normally used for sewing denim/jeans!





The third version of this design is a pair of beige square cushions ordered by a customer for her wedding.


I didn't add the beads here,istead tiny french knots of the same thread are stitched.


Have a fun time browsing through my collection of RIBBON EMBROIDERED ITEMS in here and happy stitching!

GREEN CUSHION-PROGRESS WORK

I made this cushion sometimes ago and its no longer in my collection.........
This is a day by day progress work; everyday I would add in new stitches filling up the gaps here and there with different flowers until the desired design was achieved.Actually,I didn't know how the finished project would turn out to be since I didn't plan the design before I started out with the stitching.



























The finished cushion size is 18" by 18".


Happy stitching and happy viewing,everyone!
