Handicraft

Using up some bits and pieces of fabric and made these cushions this week.












Below is what I really should have been working on. This is the beginnings of Zana's 21st quilt but I'm having difficulty getting these Dresden Plates right.

I gave up in disgust a couple of months ago but I've been on a roll with these cushions so I'm picking the Dresdens up again so my poor daughter can get her present  before she turns 22.




Just adding this one a few days later:
