Country Charm - Fiona Baker

Well, I hit my deadline of fully finishing ‘Country Charm’ in time for my cousin’s 70th birthday on the 8th January but it was down to the wire!

Don’t ask me why I left it until the day before to actually sew the cushion, given that I finished the cross stitch 6 days prior, and considering I was attempting to put in a covered zip for the first time. 

But I did, and then I had a problem putting on the binding and had to unpick part of it........talk about panic, Lol!

Anyway, it all turned out well in the end and I’m happy to say that my cousin loved it.

  1. Such a cute design and I think you did fabulous on the pillow and the zipper. Why do we do these things to ourselves? I feel like I play “project finishing roulette” at times. So glad your cousin liked the pillow. How could she not! Have a great week.

    1. I know Robin, it's not the first time I've left finishing until the last possible moment and I'm certain it's won't be the last, Lol!
