Tapestry & Tea Towel Cushion Covers


A little bit of Australiana & a piece of English tapestry have made their way onto my couch.
 the tapestry is a Kaffe Fassett design.......someone put a lot of time into stitching the pheasant design but for some unknown reason it ended up at the op shop.it was a bit wonky but for $1.00 i was happy to take it home. i just stitched it onto a cushion cover that i had made ages ago.
the 1984 banksia tea towel i found interesting when i read the label.......Czechoslovakian linen.....printed in Hong Kong & made in Australia.
i used pillowcases that had seen better days as the lining for the cushion inserts. (raylee).

  3. They look great, 1981 would have been better though! Helen has a beautiful aqua and yellow retro table cloth that belonged to Trevor's grandmother. It would look great as cushions, I will send it to you if I ever manage to confiscate it!
