Patchwork and Embroidered Bird Cushion

I managed to finish this cushion recently using the bird embroidery I completed back in March.

 It's pictured on a small wooden (marquetry cube pattern) table which was given to me by my grandmother many years ago. 

This is a beautiful old wicker basket I bought last week at the charity shop. It sits on a wicker stand with a storage shelf at the bottom. I'm not sure how old it is but it has been beautifully made. I wasn't overly keen on the stand at first but fell in love with the basket. I'm thinking of lining the shelf with material and maybe using it to store fabric or magazines.

 
 My daughter Becky bought the tulips to cheer herself up the other day. They are white with a pink tint and when the sun comes out (which isn't very often at the moment) they look so pretty.

   I decided to use a mixture of new and vintage fabric for the cushion cover trying to pick up some of the colours of the embroidery threads. I finished the back with a simple envelope opening using the small blue rose fabric.

The tulips are in a lovely shaped blue and green speckled 1930's vase which I picked up a few years ago at a boot sale.

Hope everyone is having a good week.
