Giraffes


This was chosen to go in my son's bedroom which had a safari theme. Shame that now I have finally finished making the cushion cover, we have moved and he wants a Dr Who room!

I bought the fabric from Hobbycraft and chose a cream fabric for the backing. I have ordered a large cushion pad (20"x20") to complete the design.

I machine stiched the back and front together, the back having an envelope opening. I hand finish the hem on the back opening. It made a pleasant change to do some hand stitching.

If I remember rightly, there were two squares of this design and I have thought that it would look nice if it was quilted.
