I recently made my daughter a special quilt for her 60th birthday, pink and green nine patches, as requested. And with extra blocks, added two cushions as well.

Plus two cushions made with spare blocks
Nicky asked if I had any of the green ric rac left as she wanted to embellish the cushions. Over the last couple of months she has been busy hand stitching all sorts of bits and pieces to her cushions, and sending me photos of her work. She has recently met up with a group of stitchers and enjoys going to the get togethers, getting encouragement and ideas. At last she had finished adding all sorts of bits and pieces, and the results are so pretty

Nicky has certainly done a wonderful job, what a difference it made, turning these rather plain cushions into little works of art. She told me she enjoyed the time spent hand stitching each pretty bit of lace, trim and hand embroidery to make these cushions her own. I am so proud of her, she is so very creative indeed.
