AF CUSHION WITH SCALLOPED EDGE

James spent the middle of the day here and we sat in the garden...perfect so good to see him happy and smiling again
BACK TO FRONT WITH A SCALLOPED EDGE
More by luck than judgement but the back and front went together so easily with a single crochet then l added a scalloped edge of 7DC  spaced over 5sts
Was going to ask you all which l should do but made the decision all by myself hehehe
loved it once l had gone half way round

Got to make a few of these it goes so well in both bedrooms and on the orange sofa with my collage of flowers behind
Hope you like the finished cushion
now A CARDY/JACKET to design using the same flowers samples will be done tonight l hope
ooops almost finished a cartoon of vanilla ice cream while posting!!
SO HOT HERE

  1. Love the cushion - perfectly gorgeous colours and I love the scalloped edging. Mmm, yum! Ice cream! Makes me want ot go get some! I was knitting outside and got burnt arms!! - all except for a little white 'v' shape at the crease of my elbows from the knitting posture ....I have a knitting tan line:-)

  3. The cushion is terrific! When you sewed the African flowers together, did you just tack them at a few spots? I'm not very good at this part, and am a little afraid. I really want to make some of these cushions, though.

  6. Just love the way this cushion turned out and got to admit, I would love to copy it. Is there any way you could share the pattern for the in-between stitches to the front side? Would much appreciate it. Also love the simple border and the design of the back. Thanks for sharing them with all of us.

    Otherwise, hope your house is coming along nicely and also that you have a wonderful and peaceful weekend.

  9. What a beautiful cushion! I just love how it turned out. Were I try to finagle something like this, it sure wouldn't turn out so well. LOL But you sure inspire me to at least want to try. LOL
