At last have got all 6 cushions done using cutaway stabaliser which worked. First picture is of the other 4,second picture all 6. Disappointingly all the comment from my family is 'what are you going to do with them'?

Gill what lovely work, I love the way that you have finished the cushions off with coloured piping. Families do make some daft comments.

Well done glad you persevered until you had it worked out. I had a friend who said things like that when I bought my first embroidery machine. But then she had no hobbies and wasn't creative at all.
You have done a wonderful job on these. If your family live with you tell them you are making more and going to do what the designers do on all those house shows on TV. Put 20 cushions on each Bed and when they go to bed at night will have to remove them. LOL
What fabric did you use? Looks a bit like a LInen.

Not sure the fabric is called Bacall and from Laura Ashley in England. Its a bit of a basket weave. Must discover if it will wash!

These look great! Did you do the piping? Love it! I have tons available, just not the patience. I guess I should look at youtube for tips, unless you have any??

WOW those are lovely, I was leaning toward the bfly ones until I enlarged the pict twice and not I have more favorites. ;-).. The bow (non-emb) on the boot is a wonderful touch. Great job.

I would say you have a lot of Christmas presents made and hopefully they were all hoping for one but didn't want to be to obvious.

Know a lady who made an emb crazy patch quilt for a family member and the response was 'that is nice' ..

If you saw previous entry you will know that the bow on the boot is a cover up as I used tear away stabaliser which was wrong and things moved without my permission!

They are all lovely designs. If I needed to select one, I couldn't.
For the reaction of your family; tell them you need all these pillows to relax. Don't bother about them.. some people can't understand the effort in these things

These are beautiful and you have done a fantastic job with them. Only those who do this kind of thing know how much work goes into something like this.

You have done a great job with these. I think people that don't sew or embroider actually don't understand the love, time and effort that goes into everything we make.

They are lovely. The piping highlights the colors of your work and is the perfect touch.

Gorgeous! Just send them to me if you need something to do with them! Actually, I'd give them to whoever asked the question!

My brother once said to me, "Can't you just buy something like that?" I laughed. I'm sure they meant no offense.

WellI think they are beautiful and all you have to say to your family when they ask what you will do with them is say "I'm going to enjoy them".
