Inverted Silhouette Bird Cushion.

[ldhenson]

Ever since I made my first cushion like this, I've continued playing around with the idea of inverted silhouettes.

So here's my latest:



The front side.



Closeups of some of the appliques.






And the reverse side, in softer colors.



Closeup of the reverse side.


The two sides have very similar, but not identical, bird designs.

I'm pretty pleased how it came out, and it made Hot New Projects at Craftster, which is nice! Plus, I can choose which color scheme to display depending on whether I put the cushion on the sofa or bed.

It's gorgeous! I want to try, but my stitching's not quite as nice as yours

Thank you! I'm sure your stitching's just fine and if you do make one, I'd love to see what you come up with. I do all my stitching by hand, which is easier for small pieces like this anyway.
