Heart Cushion- machine embroidery

Last month I showed a design for a cushion I had been working on, a large pink heart with red felt wings and a happy face (kind of like a giant cushion cuddle!). I used dylon and hand stitching for the face on the original with a button for detail. I now have the two colourways I designed in the next stage back from the company they are for, machine embroidered- here are some close ups. Let me know which one you prefer, I have a clear favourite but it would be interesting to see if everyone feels the same.



I think for the backing on these I will have red gingham on the white version with bright red felt wings. For the pink version I will have a pale pink with a tiny floral pattern for the backing, again with bright red felt wings.

Heart cushion- a little further

I showed a photo earlier on this month of a heart cushion I had been working on, here it is in the next stages- it has been made into a cushion and is a step closer to the final design. The next stage is for the cushion to be done in machine embroidery so that it is more durable and easier to wash. Here I have used fabric paint and hand stitching for the flower/button detail.


This is the back of the cushion with check cotton fabric in pink and red. The zip slider compliments it nicely I think with a little heart.
