A Proper Finish!

Do you remember the crewelwork robin embroidery that I finished back in January?
I blogged about this project as I stitched, you can find all the details HERE
This afternoon I finally got around to making it up into a cushion
I really enjoyed stitching this design by Nicola Jarvis, here are a few more close ups of the embroidery...

  8. This robin design or one very similar, was printed in our UK, Stitch (with the Embroiderers Guild) magazine last year I think it was and I thought it was lovely then. I saw your other one you did too and loved that and youve done Robin justice once again! Delightful stitching : )

  10. This is exquisite! You have made a lovely pillow from your beautiful robin. The reds are so vibrant against the paler colours.
