Crazy patchwork

I was really quite sad when I had to admit that my pair of much loved Indian cushions had given up the ghost back in the Spring. I'd got them second hand a decade ago and they had become too fragile for me to mend. My lovely sister-in-law made us a gorgeous hare cushion for Christmas 2024 so I really had only one space to fill. I sourced us a free one to use these past few months until I saw the right thing. For £4 in the charity shop I wasn't going to leave this utterly gorgeous crazy patchwork one behind yesterday. It's rather more subtle in real life, but the lack of light has made it look rather lairy💞💕

Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend. As ever I will keep this blog as a safe refuge from what's going on externally on the global stage. I can't control that, but I can be in charge of the content here and so it will remain a quiet breathing space for anyone who feels in need of it.
