Well, thanks to my new sewing machine and new and improved sewing area, I am going great guns, and yesterday I finished the quilted window seat cushion for the kitties! It has a zip on the bottom (no pics of that as it was my first ever attempt at a zip and is not pretty!) so that the foam inside can be removed for the cover to be washed. It was a good practice project and I learnt a lot from trying out the templates I bought, as well as rotary cutting just using the ruler, as well as practicing my piecing. I am pleased with it, and the cats like it too!
Tonight I started my next project - quilted scatter cushion covers - four of them. The first top is done, see below. It is 18" square, and I am really pleased with it, I used a lot of tips I had picked up on here, so thank you all! |
Your window ledge cushion has come out great PrettyKitty....does it not slide about when the cats jump up or have you made it a tight fit>>
LOVE your scatter cushions, they are gonna be tremendous - well done :D |
Slipping was my concern, too. Is it Velcroed down?
|
I had planned to velcro it down, but it fits quite snugly and doesn't move around. How clever am I? :D Just a happy accident really!
|
That turned out really great! And Kitties seem to love it already!!! Love your star!
|
You did a great job on the window seat! Your scatter cushion cover is very pretty. I love the fabrics.
|
Kittys look very happy! Pretty. Your block for the chairs is pretty too.
|
Your kitties look purr-fectly happy with their new window seat.
Your next project is gorgeous-love the fabrics |
That turned out just great! I like how you made different blocks over the top it's eye catching! Good thing the kitties still have "eyes" for you!
Tip: When doing a zipper, use a zipper foot. My first two or three zippers where me with the regular and/or satin foot. I couldn't believe how much closer and prettier using the zipper foot made everything. |
Great job! I'm sure Kitties are loving it! Pretty colors on the star.
|
Very nice work. Zippers are like quilting, practice, practice, practice. :-D
|
You did a super job on it. Even your cats look proud!
|
Way to cool. Looks like they love it.
|
The kitties love it and I love the colors. Great job!!
|
Great job and the kitties love it!
|
Very nice girl, maybe now the kitties will spot messing with your stuff, yeah right :lol:
|
Sooooooooo cool. I bet the kitties are happy to have a comfy cozy nap place.

ooh I just love your kitty ledge cushion and seems the kitties are quite happy and content with it too!! I love your quilt block also and the colours are beautiful!!!
|
So nice, you did a beautiful job. The cats seem to like it too.
|
Great job and looks like some pretty happy kitties
|
Thank you for sharing! Great job.
TIP: Lay your zipper on the bottom and top to stitch in, then sew the sides together. A first project with a zipper that I did, had me groaning when I had put it together before sewing in the zipper. It didn't come out very good. But It was a good learning experience. |
I'll bet those Furballs appreciate their soft seating!!! They look very happy perched in the window.
|
Love both your projects , well done
|
Very cute!
