Cushion...John & Dickie or Queenie & Pearl???

Hi girls, 

On Wednesday morning I was looking out of the window and I saw three robins in the garden, now I've seen two of them a few times but never three but of course every time I snapped away with the camera I could only get two of them at once.


I snapped these two on the side fence and this little chap at the back looking for food ooooh I do love robins!!



Anyway the postie dropped this lovely fabric through the letter box and before you could say Jack Robinson I ran upstairs and cut out some plain cream cotton for the back of the cushion,




and all my lovely sewing tins and buttons, and then come the best part...do I add a few buttons and trimmings or not? Then I had to decide if the two pigeons were boys, Dickie (Bird ) and John (pigeon) or girls  Queenie and Pearl.





After rummaging in the button tin I decided they were girls  Queenie, who I gave a crown to and a nice emerald bracelet, 


and Pearl who got a lovely pearl neclace and a beautiful Ruby bracelet.




Of course I had to stitch on a wibbly wobbly jelly button before running the cover up on the machine.







 
I'm pleased with the way it turned out  and first I put it on the armchair but then I decided it looked better on the bed










nestled amongst my other cushions and besides I didn't want a dog laying on it!!





Also in the post this week was this poster



and a box of chocolate piglets from the lovely Kitty at Dollydaydream do pay her a visit girls...thank you so much Kitty I love the poster.

 


So till next time it's bye from Queenie, Pearl and Lucey xxx
