Garden Series

"Garden Series", large tweed cushion series of three inspired by my own spring planting earlier in the year.   The cushions have a strong folk art look to them, and are currently featured in British Patchwork and Quilting magazine.  We will make one of the three in class, using a variety of hand and/or machine stitched appliqué.

Each kit contains all the tweed fabrics and wool thread needed to complete one cushion and each kit is £35 (payable to Margaret on the day).   All designs are stitched onto a grey tweed, and all appliqué fabric is tweed.
