Rocket Cushion for 2nd Born

Not much making has been going on around here.

Amusing the boys has taken up most of my time and energy.

Although, I have managed to complete a project

I have been wanting to try for a while.

I printed this tutorial from Dont Look Now,

planning to make each of the 3 boys a cushion,

to match their new quilts I created for them.

2nd borns quilt has still not been completed -

It is ready to pin and be quilted though,

just have to be in the right mood.

I just needed a small project and easy to complete,

so the rocket tutorial was it.

It came together really quickly,

and I finished it this afternoon while the house slept.

I really liked how the back looked too.

Not that it will be seen, as it will be inside the cushion.

It's a great tutorial, tested out my stipple skill, I used my

walking foot, and 2 things that I avoid

button holes and buttons.

The 2nd born (almost a school boy now)

 is now up and loves his new cushion!

Have a nice HOT weekend and keep COOL
