The story.
My fiancée and I have good friends who run a nice little cafe. Having seen a quilt that I made for my mum they asked if I could do some cushions to cover the seats of their outside chairs. A few customers saying they were too hard etc.
I suggested embroidering the cafes name onto them to make them a bit more personalized which they loved. The cafe thrives off of word getting around as it's just so relaxed and friendly and I figured the cushions should reflect that. Fabric and colours picked and I set to working on the first one yesterday. I'll take it over on Sat to see if it fits OK and then get to doing the rest. 8 in total!
They're only meant to take the edge off the seats so thin 2oz wadding was used to pad out polyester/nylon mix canvas. Wipe clean being the order of the day
First one finished last night.  :D

Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!  :),  but who has far too many sewing machines to be healthy, and a fabric stash which is becoming embarrassing.
