Folksy Friday- Spring has Sprung

This week I thought I would go for a spring theme in a green colourway with hints of red, pink and yellow.

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.
