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.
Nicky's 60th birthday quilt
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's embellished cushions
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.

The cushions your daughter decorated turned out beautifully... it's so lovely working together on such lovely things.
Love, Viola
Your daughter is very clever indeed, Jenny. She embellished the cushions wonderfully. And......as for the quilt you made for her 60th birthday, it is gorgeous! Such pretty colours.
Nicky did a fabulous job embellishing the cushions and you make her a gorgeous nice big quilt for her bed.
Jenny, the quilt you made for Nicky is beautiful. Her embellishments on the cushions are so sweet, some of the laces are the same or very similar to pieces in my stash.
Well done, Nicky! Great collaborative project! Beautiful birthday quilt, Jenny. Happy belated birthday to Nicky. Gail at the cozy quilter
That quilt is amazing!!!
Your cushions are gorgeous!
You outdid yourself with this special quilt. The quilting is gorgeous. The ric-rac on the border is so fun. The pillows are perfect. Well done, Jenny.
Oh my, yes your daughter is very creative. Those cushions are lovely.
lovely quilt and cushions - doesn't it feel just so strange to say your daughter is 60 now - I know I never think of my girls being 52 & 50(next week) - they seem to have a hard time believing I'm in my 70's -- age seems to come so fast sometimes!!
Your daughter surely inherited your amazing talents, her pillows are beautiful as is your quilt. I love the boarder you made, it is so pretty. You're a sweet Mom :)
Nicky did a glorious job on those pillows--beautiful work...hugs, Julierose
She has done such a wonderful job. Maybe she should do more crazy patchwork items. She is good at it.
That's such a beautiful quilt, and I love the matching cushions, too. What a fun project for your daughter to embellish them like she has! I think she's taking after her creative mom!
Oh my, Nicky did a wonderful job of embellishing those cushions.
God bless.
Wow! The embellishments your daughter added to those cushions were fabulous! Now those pillows make that quilt extra special. You two make a great team!
The two of you have worked really well together. The quilt is gorgeous and I love all the embellishing on the cushions. So special.
Didn’t Nicky do a fabulous job on elevating the cushions. So clever. You must be thrilled that your daughter is following in your creative footsteps.
