Crochet cushions

Following a request via SCC for a crochet cushion cover I have been busy going round in circles .... here are the results

These are 16" circular cushion covers with a button closure on the back edge to put your cushion pad in. I can make them in any colours you prefer, any size or shape they don't have to be round. A 16" cover made with Hayfield/Patons DK is £12.00 .... the same size in soft cotton such as Rowan or Debbie Bliss will be £20.00. I am also happy to do a skill swap so if there is anything you make that you would like to trade please let me know. If you would like to see how pretty they look please take a look at this blog http://marypoppins-homesweethome.blogspot.com/2009/05/always-look-on-bright-side-of-life.html
