Back on August 9, I wrote a blog post about cushions I was making for our cottage and condo. I gave you a sneak peek of what I was making for the condo and told you I hoped to have them finished prior to leaving for PA. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. You can read the posting here. Time just ran out so I finished it the week between arriving back home from PA and having my knee replaced. I had so much I wanted to get done before my surgery, but finishing these cushions were number one on my list...
I decided to make these cushions 2 inches thick. Because of the bold Buffalo check, I also did my best in trying to get all the checks to line up with the 2 inch insert I added between the top and the bottom. And as if that weren't enough, I also decided to add a back zipper, so I could get them cleaned, if need be. So they weren't as easy and less time consuming as the ones I made for our cottage. I also didn't want ties or bows on these for the condo, so I ended up making tabs with Velcro to hold the cushions onto the seat...
Ordinarily, I love to sew, but with all I decided to do with these cushions, to say they were a pain in the neck, is saying that mildly...
But I did reach my goal of finishing them, and with time to spare...
I managed to get my wreath done, which I showed you the other day; and to get all of our Autumn and Halloween items out and on display...
I decided to keep the centerpiece, on the dining table, rather simple this year...
I also hung art on the living room wall. I knew I wouldn't be going up any ladders after I got home from the hospital, so this was another project that had to get done. I'll show you our wall with all the art next time.
