Bright Springtime Cushions

 I am delighted with my finished cushions. I made 2 large crochet granny squares and one knitted one like the table runner. I made some cushion covers and sewed the granny squares onto the front. The knitted cushion was harder. It wasn't as strong and I had to sew a border along the edges and sew some lining material behind it before making up the cushion. I'm really happy now they brighten up the room and I'm now in springtime mood.
I've 2 other projects on the go a the moment. I've sewen a bag from more curtain material but now need to think about handles, embellishments and maybe a zip (should have thought about that before now!). I'm also crocheting granny squares from scraps of wool to make a knitting bag for myself. It's all about recycling a the moment!
