    What wonderful colors! You did a great job of varying the patterns while using the same color palette. Your orange sofa is ready for summer.

    OH My! How lovely...wonderful bright cheery colors to sit on that lovely sofa. If I could get all that done in a week I think I'd give my laptop up monthly! :) Take care..

    Hi Suz,

    Great to have you back!!!
    I love the cushions.
    And you have inspired me again, because it just so happens that I have a couple of balls of beige coloured yarn over, and some colours.
    So I'm thinking maybe a cushion like the one in your first photo.
    Have a great weekend!!!!
    And thanks for the inspiration!!
