Got to love a quickie!

And that's what this had to be! Found out Friday afternoon that a colleague in another team is retiring - clearly had no time to make her a quilt so I asked her if she'd like me to make her a cushion or a Pants Bag. 'Cushion, please ... browns and beiges and maybe a little red.'

Raided my stash over the weekend and got to this stage:


... but then took to my bed with a filthy cold. Tonight after tea, feeling much better, I finished it off ... thankfully, it came together really quickly, no dramas, everything in harmony:




I'll be handing it over in the morning. Happy retirement, Carol x

    When I saw your title I wondered what Miss Glinda could be blogging about. :)
    I do love quickies. Your cushion is the perfect retirement gift. Look how that fabric lines up so perfectly. Nice.

    I need more quickies in my life. Of this kind. Not the other kind. This one is pretty, filthy cold notwithstanding. Glad you're feeling a wee bit better.

    I think I'm going to go on a cushion kick for a while - I want something finished!

    Oh, you are clever. With cushions and with titles! Sorry to hear you are not up to par and hope you are feeling better. Love the sweet cushion and your fabric choices, as always, are perfect! Is that a homemade tag?

    What a lovely cushion, how kind of you. I hope you are feeling better now? I love your labels by the way. I will have to have a closer inspection of them in a few weeks time!!!

    I'm so tired it took a while for the sauciness of your title to sink in... Don't expect any witty remarks from me today, but impressed how much brown you had in your stash! Hope your kindness is valued at work x

    Well I love me a cushion too - satisfying but not too time consuming ;-). Heh.
