Years ago m made a patchwork cushion out of charity shop Ties, using the wrong side of some of them to get a bit of texture.

That would have been great, IMI.

The ties I have are a variety of silks. Some so fine, like tissue paper. Some a nice robust twill. And some loosely woven.

I have had a play, discovered that when cutting pieces then the cut pieces cand shrink and distort, made for a bit of waste age. Should have perhaps used a sew on fusible.

So far, this is what I've made. It's a bit of a mess, but if I back it and border it and wad it, it could be the start of something.

Still on post-op dog watch duty. He has a huge scar, so have to make sure he doesn't damage himself. So whilst sat here wat.ching him sleep, I fiddled with silky bits again. This is today's offering.
