Foxy Cushions

My twin niece and nephew turned one at the start of February.  I cannot get over how quickly the time has flown.  As part of their birthday gift I made them a cushion each.  I LOVE making cushions as they give fast results and are great for trying to make a dent in my fabric stash!

As they are still very little people, I made little cushions for them - 12" square with an envelope back.  One in a fox print - very apt for my nephew named Fox!



And one in a toadstool and fairy print for my niece Bronwyn:




The cushion backs were made in complimentary fabrics:


I confess here and now that the strawberry print has been in my stash for about 7 years!  I couldn't bear to cut into it before now and you've gotta love the giant strawberries!  They definitely bring a smile to the face!
