Project: Bench Cushion
So, I've been meaning to make a bench cushion ever since I got the bench for Christmas last year, but alas, had never gotten around to it. However, this weekend, things changed. I found this amazing Amy Butler fabric at Strawberry Patches yesterday and knew it would work out perfectly. I took the foam that my dad let me have and cut it to size, sewed some old drapery lining around it to make a pillow form and then drove into Bakersfield with Denise to purchase the fabric you see below as well as some cream piping. It was my first solo piping experience, but I think I did rather well all things considered. ( Although there are no close up pictures for a reason). Enjoy the photos. I have one project left for the weekend, so we'll see if I get it done. You'll be the first to know.

What a busy weekend you've had! The cushion looks so great - I noticed the piping in the picture and thought "piping?! katie is so able!" And then I read on and discovered that you did the piping SOLO. I am nothing short of extremely impressed. All the projects look great!
Katie: If you can do piping, you can make a quilt!!!! Really! Cindy
Cindy I feel inspired. My goal for this summer is to do just that. My first quilt...it sounds so exciting. I can't wait! Thanks for your encouragment. I need it.
