Tapestry Cushions

Hello

There is a lovely company who do tapestry kits called Ehrman.  I have done a few of their cushion kits in the past.  You can find the company here http://www.ehrmantapestry.com/Departments/Cushions-and-Pillows.aspx

The first one was this dark one with Roses.


That was followed by this larger Foxgloves one.


Then I did a couple of mini kits (not made by Ehrman) which I put into cushion panels.



This lighter Rose one was on my frame for years, I got 90% of it done then for some reason (probably when I bought my first Singer Featherweight!) it got put away unfinished.


I was recently given an Ermin kit, it was unopened.  So I had to finish the Rose one before starting a new one.

I had this glorious green velvet panel in my fabric stash, it was actually an upholstery fabric sample someone gave me, it still had a label on the back.  It also had a rubbery finish on the back which transferred onto the paintwork on my Singer 221 machine.  This had to be carefully cleaned off the shiny black paintwork, crikey will have to be more careful.


The new project is a Pansy cushion,


Pansies are one of my favourite flowers, they smell so nice and look so happy!



I've had a quick look on the Ehrman website, I couldn't see the Roses and Foxglove cushions so they mustn't have them anymore.

Cheers
Sharon
