This is my avatar, a tuffet made using a pattern by Myra Mitchell. It is paper pieced, and it was a challenge for me; I took a class at my LQS in order to complete it!
It is about 18" around and stands 11" tall.
I used a line of fabric called "Flutterby" by Tula Pink.
I suppose some would call it a footstool, but I can tell you this: NO ONE is allowed to put feet on this beauty!
